A fixed-point current injection power flow for electric distribution systems using Laurent series

This paper proposes a new power flow (PF) formulation for electrical distribution systems using the current injection method and applying the Laurent series expansion. Two solution algorithms are proposed: a Newton-like iterative procedure and a fixed-point iteration based on the successive approximation method (SAM). The convergence analysis of...

Composite Anderson acceleration method with two window sizes and optimized damping

In this article, we propose and analyze a set of fully nonstationary Anderson acceleration (AA) algorithms with two window sizes and optimized damping. Although AA has been used for decades to speed up nonlinear solvers in many applications, most authors are simply using and analyzing the stationary version of AA (sAA) with fixed window size...

Necessary conditions for linear convergence of iterated expansive, set-valued mappings

We present necessary conditions for monotonicity of fixed point iterations of mappings that may violate the usual nonexpansive property. Notions of linear-type monotonicity of fixed point sequences—weaker than Fejér monotonicity—are shown to imply metric subregularity. This, together with the almost averaging property recently introduced by...
