5x5: Polynomial Convergence of 5 Constants - Combined Newton-Raphson Iteration Technique - Standard Approach


The Algorithm of post 9/5/2022 new-algorithm-idea-multi-variate CONVERGES when holding the proton mass and electron mass (thus the $m_p\over m_e$ mass ratio) constant and iterating on these 5 constants:
$$e$$
$$\epsilon0$$
$$h$$
$$c$$
$$R_H$$

The initial values and tolerances need to be corrected and re-run the algorithm. Here is a table of the constants NIST/CODATA and what I used in the Newton_Raphson Iteration NRI method.

This link is to the post that shows the color points on the graph with the inputs shown above in Image 1.

The algorithm is described in this post, only modification was to hold the proton and electron mass constant: https://phxmarker.blogspot.com/2022/09/new-algorithm-idea-multi-variate.html

A re-run is needed with the corrected inputs - I didn't use all the digits from NIST/CODATA.

The interesting thing is it appears to converge to a stable solution.  I need to investigate if it is UNIQUE by using different starting values and verfiy if it always converges to these same values.

Another interesting thing is a MAJOR NOTE: One does not need the proton radius solution to perform this NRI method of determining the constants. Simply don't drop the term, the reduced mass approximation (effective masses) when determining the constants. 

There may be some reason the $m_e\over m_p$ term was dropped from the polynomial - as I understand it, that assumption allows one to proceed with an analytic solution to Schrodinger's wave equations for solid-state theory. And that assumption does not have to interfere with determining the coefficients like anyone would do for their boundary value problems.

When you zoom in on the solutions, the last series of iterations, it curves back, very similar to the Lambert W function that is used to solve the iterative Widlar current source circuit.

The dream lives! The dream of solving for the constants. 

I'm looking into applying the constants to analyzing the "Island of Stability" - i.e.,

  1. As well as correcting the intial values and tolerances, I'm planning on running a version with c set to SI unit value of 299792458 m/s. In this way, four constants can be solved for and a more fair comparison made to NIST/CODATA. Addressing the idea of setting c will be saved for a later post. Perhaps c should be set according to the polynomial AND a timebase reference created. I think that, combined with re-defining mass, could carefully set the constants to be in harmony with mks SI units ideas.
