Unlike the classical Sylvester equation, the presence of nonlinear terms introduces additional analytical challenges and increased numerical complexity, particularly for large-scale problems. This work explores a nonlinear Sylvester equation with a polynomial matrix power and develops Newton-based iterative methods tailored to its structure. These include the classical Newton method, line-search stabilized variants, an overrelaxed (OSOR) scheme, and a matrix-free Newton–Krylov approach exploiting structured matrix–vector products. We also present a conditioning and sensitivity analysis based on Fréchet derivatives, yielding explicit normwise, mixed, and componentwise condition numbers and corresponding perturbation bounds. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of stabilization and matrix-free techniques, particularly for ill-conditioned or strongly nonlinear problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":100308,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Methods","volume":"2026 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/cmm4/9773355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148282235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
