Nonlinear systems of equations often appear in various fields of science and generally cannot be solved analytically, so numerical methods are required. However, previous studies have not provided a direct comparison of the accuracy and efficiency of the Multivariate Newton-Raphson method and the Newton-Kantorovich method when applied to the same nonlinear system, creating a gap in understanding their relative performance. This study aims to analyze and compare the performance of two numerical methods, namely the Newton-Raphson method and the Newton-Kantorovich method, in solving nonlinear systems of equations numerically. The evaluation is based on the convergence rate, result accuracy, and iteration efficiency of each method. The nonlinear system used involves trigonometric, exponential, and polynomial functions. Simulations were conducted twice using three equations directly for each method. The error tolerance was set at 0.001, with a maximum of 100 iterations. The simulation results showed that the Multivariate Newton-Raphson method had the best performance, requiring only 7 iterations to achieve convergence with a very small error of 2.711×10^(-7). In contrast, the Newton-Kantorovich method required 21 iterations and produced an error of 6.770×10^(-5), indicating slower convergence and lower efficiency. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Multivariate Newton-Raphson method is the more accurate and efficient method for solving nonlinear systems of equations through numerical simulation. This finding contributes to the selection of an appropriate numerical method and opens opportunities for further exploration in higher-dimensional systems.
