Jerome,

Please have a look at the numerical recipes, Chapter 9.7 "Root Finding
and Nonlinear Sets of Equations". On page 382 you will find the
paragraph "Multidimensional Secant Methods: Broyden�s Method" and on
page 386 there is a comment on singular jaciobians.
Download the pdf-files from numerical recipes e.g. at:
http://www.library.cornell.edu/nr/cbookfpdf.html

I had difficulties using Broyden method's as implemented in IDL
following the numerical recipes, since it is very strong depending on
the start vector.
I used methods in Mathematica though and had 'the feeling' it worked
better, but I could not proove it.

-Ralf
