Definition
An iterative numerical method for solving systems of nonlinear equations. This paper applies it to multi-impulse maneuver parameter optimization in orbit design, linearizing the equations and iterating to satisfy constraints such as apogee altitude and orbital inclination.
Application Value
This concept plays an important role in cislunar space orbit design and optimization, providing theoretical support for orbital transfer and station-keeping operations.
