    A Robust Hybrid Algorithm for Computing Multiple Equilibrium Solutions
    Watson, Layne T.; Kamat, Manohar P.; Reaser, Michael H. (Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 1984)
    This paper describes a hybrid method that seeks to combine the efficiency of a quasi-Newton method capable of locating stable and unstable equilibrium configurations with a robust homotopy method that is capable of tracking equilibrium paths with turning points while exploiting symmetry and sparsity of the Jacobian matrices. Numerical results are presented for a shallow arch problem.
