Many problems give rise to polynomial systems. These systems often have several parameters and we are interested to study how the solutions vary when we change the values for the parameters. Using predictor-corrector methods we track the solution paths. A point along a solution path is critical when the Jacobian matrix is rank deficient. The simplest case of quadratic turning points is well und...

In this paper, we propose a stable and efficient algorithm for animating mass-spring systems. An integration scheme derived from implicit integration allows us to obtain interactive realistic animation of any mass-spring network. We alleviate the need to solve a linear system through the use of a predictor-corrector approach: We first compute a rapid approximation of the implicit integration, t...

In this chapter, we propose a stable and efficient algorithm for animating cloth-like materials using mass-spring systems. An integration scheme derived from implicit integration allows us to obtain interactive realistic animation of any mass-spring network. We alleviate the need to solve a linear system through the use of a predictor-corrector approach: We first compute a rapid approximation o...

A new class of homotopy continuation methods is developed suitable for globalizing quasiNewton methods for large sparse nonlinear systems of equations. The new continuation methods, described as monolithic homotopy continuation, differ from the classical predictor-corrector algorithm in that the predictor and corrector phases are replaced with a single phase which includes both a predictor and ...

It is known that predictor-corrector methods in a large neighborhood of the central path are among the most efficient interior point methods (IPMs) for linear optimization (LO) problems. The best iteration bound based on the classical logarithmic barrier function is O ( n log n ǫ ) . In this paper we propose a family of self-regular proximity based predictorcorrector (SR-PC) IPM for LO in a lar...

This paper deals with set membership state estimation for continuous-time systems from discrete-time measurements, in the unknown but bounded error framework. The classical predictor-corrector approach to state estimation uses interval Taylor methods for solving the prediction phase, which are known to have poor performance in presence of large model or input uncertainty. In this paper, we show...

In this paper, a class of mixed inverse variational inequalities is introduced and studied. We prove the existence of the solution of the auxiliary problem for mixed inverse variational inequalities, suggest a predictor-corrector method for solving the mixed inverse variational inequalities by using the auxiliary principle technique. Then it is shown that the convergence of the new method requi...

One of the most efficient methods for determining the equilibria of a continuous parameterized family of differential equations is to use predictor-corrector continuation techniques. In the case of partial differential equations this procedure must be applied to some finite dimensional approximation which of course raises the question of the validity of the output. We introduce a new technique ...

We present a method for visualizing unsteady flow by displaying its vortices. The vortices are identified by using a vorticity-predictor pressure-corrector scheme that follows vortex cores. The cross-sections of a vortex at each point along the core can be represented by a Fourier series. A vortex can be faithfully reconstructed from the series as a simple quadrilateral mesh, or its reconstruct...
