Problems in and • This method only finds an image close to . • To find other images, we must try other . • One of the methods is to calculate and for mesh points to use as and . • The other method is to solve polynomial equation for similar configuration. • If steps over caustic, calculation become divergent. So we need to select other .
Summary • Analytic form of Jacobian matrix is derived for general multiple lens system • Using Jacobian determinant, magnification on the lens plane can be calculated • Approximate image position can be calculated from a close reference source point which is exactly traced from lens plane • Calculation to get image position converges in 3-5 times iteration • Although there are problems to get reference point, this method may be useful for future multiple lens analyses
