The generalized continuous analog of Newton’s method for the numerical study of some nonlinear quantum-field models

A numerical method for studying nonlinear problems arising in mathematical models of physics is systematically described in this review. The unified basis for the development of numerical schemes is a generalization of the continuous analog of Newton’s method, which represents a qualitatively new development of the Newtonian evolution process on the basis of the integration of concepts from perturbation theory and the theory of evolution in parameters. The results are presented of numerical studies of quantum-field models of the polaron, the solvated electron, the binucleon, and also QCD potential models for some commonly used potentials.
