<p>Precision to determine when the <code>mnewton</code> function has converged towards
the solution.
</p>
<p>When <code>newtonepsilon</code> is a bigfloat,
<code>mnewton</code> computations are done with bigfloats;
otherwise, ordinary floats are used.

<dt><a name="index-mnewton"></a>Function: <strong>mnewton</strong> <em><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<tt>mnewton</tt> (<var>FuncList</var>, <var>VarList</var>, <var>GuessList</var>) <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<tt>mnewton</tt> (<var>FuncList</var>, <var>VarList</var>, <var>GuessList</var>, <var>DF</var>)</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Approximate solution of multiple nonlinear equations by Newton&rsquo;s method.
</p>
<p><var>FuncList</var> is a list of functions to solve,
<var>VarList</var> is a list of variable names, and
<var>GuessList</var> is a list of initial approximations.
The optional argument <var>DF</var> is the Jacobian matrix of the list of functions;
if not supplied, it is calculated automatically from <var>FuncList</var>.
</p>
<p><var>FuncList</var> may be specified as a list of equations,
in which case the function to be solved is the left-hand side of each equation minus the right-hand side.
</p>
<p>If there is only a single function, variable, and initial point,
they may be specified as a single expression, variable, and initial value;
they need not be lists of one element.
</p>
<p>A variable may be a simple symbol or a subscripted symbol.
</p>
<p>The solution, if any, is returned as a list of one element,
which is a list of equations, one for each variable,
specifying an approximate solution;
this is the same format as returned by <code>solve</code>.
If the solution is not found, <code>[]</code> is returned.
</p>
<p>Functions and initial points may contain complex numbers,
and solutions likewise may contain complex numbers.
</p>
<p><code>mnewton</code> is governed by global variables <code><a href="#newtonepsilon">newtonepsilon</a></code> and
<code><a href="#newtonmaxiter">newtonmaxiter</a></code>, and the global flag <code><a href="#newtondebug">newtondebug</a></code>.
</p>
<p><code>load(&quot;mnewton&quot;)</code> loads this function.

<p>Examples:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(%i1) load(&quot;mnewton&quot;)$

(%i2) mnewton([x1+3*log(x1)-x2^2, 2*x1^2-x1*x2-5*x1+1],

(%o2) [[x1 = 3.756834008012769, x2 = 2.779849592817897]]
(%i3) mnewton([2*a^a-5],[a],[1]);
(%o3)             [[a = 1.70927556786144]]
(%i4) mnewton([2*3^u-v/u-5, u+2^v-4], [u, v], [2, 2]);
(%o4) [[u = 1.066618389595407, v = 1.552564766841786]]
</pre></div>

<p>The variable <code>newtonepsilon</code> controls the precision of the
approximations.  It also controls if computations are performed with
floats or bigfloats.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(%i1) load(&quot;mnewton&quot;)$

(%i2) (fpprec : 25, newtonepsilon : bfloat(10^(-fpprec+5)))$

(%i3) mnewton([2*3^u-v/u-5, u+2^v-4], [u, v], [2, 2]);
(%o3) [[u = 1.066618389595406772591173b0,
