newton_rc, an Octave code which solves a system of nonlinear equations by Newton's method, using reverse communication (RC).
The Jacobian matrix is approximated using finite differences. A simple forward difference approximation is used here. However, this limits accuracy, and for some problems, can produce an estimate of the Jacobian that is poor, badly conditioned, or singular.

newton_rc is available in a Fortran90 version and a MATLAB version and an Octave version.
backtrack_binary_rc, an Octave code which carries out a backtrack search for a set of binary decisions, using reverse communication (RC).
bisection_rc, an Octave code which seeks a solution to the equation F(X)=0 using bisection within a user-supplied change of sign interval [A,B]. The procedure is written using reverse communication (RC).
cg_rc, an Octave code which implements the conjugate gradient method for solving a positive definite sparse linear system A*x=b, using reverse communication (RC).
fsolve_test, an Octave code which calls fsolve(), which solves systems of nonlinear equations, inspired by the fsolve() function in MATLAB, and based on the minpack() minimization package.
