The system of equations is the following: $$ \Gamma_i^{\ -1} = \sum_{i=1}^nA_{ij}\Gamma_j, $$ where $\Gamma = (\Gamma_i)$ is a vector of size $n$ and $A$ is a matrix of size $n\times n$, with $n \gt 100$.
So there is a paper (Numerical and computational aspects of cosmo-based activity coefficient models, Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering vol.36 no.1) showing, that successive substitution is faster than Newton–Raphson if solved as mentioned above.
I was wondering if through some kind of linear algebra change the system of equations becomes easier/faster to solve?
I don't know it it helps, but here is how the matrix $A$ is calculated: $$ A = B \circ D $$ Where $B$ is symmetric, dense with positive and negative entries and $D$ is dense with only positive entries and all rows are the same and their sum is 1.
