Abstract
This paper presents a method for solving nonlinear system with singular Jacobian at the solution. The convergence rate in the case of singularity deteriorates and one way to accelerate convergence is to form bordered system. A local algorithm, with finite-difference approximations, for forming and solving such system is proposed in this paper. To overcome the need that initial approximation has to be very close to the solution, we also propose a method which is a combination of descent method with finite-differences and local algorithm. Some numerical results obtained on relevant examples are presented.
