Question

Why newton raphson method is better than gauss seidel method?

Answer 1

Explanation:

there any criteria or a way to take a good initial guess for solving non-linear system of equations using Newton Method.Or one shoud try different guess randomly again and again until one get the required result.Working with non linear system of equations and using Newton method.I will be thankful to any guidance in this regard

Answer 2

The Newton Raphson method is better than Gauss Seidel Method because, unlike the latter method -

• It requires less number of iterations to reach convergence and takes less computation time.

Whereas -

• The slow rate of convergence results in larger number of iterations.
• Increase in number of iterations is proportional to the number of buses.
