Summary
A rapid Generalized Method of Bisection for solving Systems of Non-linear Equations is presented in this paper, based on the non-zero value of the topological degree. Further, while the method does not compute the topological degree, it takes care of keeping its non-zero value during the bisections and thus results in a fast bisection algorithm.
