The behavior of Newton's method on two equivalent systems from linear and nonlinear programming

Newton's method is a fundamental technique for approximating solutions of nonlinear equations. However, it is often not fully appreciated that the method can produce significantly different behavior when applied to equivalent systems. In this thesis, we investigate differences in local and glob...
