Table 1

Initial position solution process using Newton-Raphson method.

Step 1Generate an initial solution .

Step 2Calculate the target function according to Equation (27).
Step 3Verify the solution has converged according to Equation (32) ().
Abort iteration and output if the difference between the
two iterates is smaller than the threshold.
Step 4Calculate according to Equation (29).
Step 5Return to step 2 and start next iteration.
