Following sign of a function inside of solve block

Hello ,

I am putting my solve block into for loop iteration and there are some user defined basic functions inside

But apparently i need to adjust a parameter k inside of the solve block according to their change signs as the iteration continues.

I am attaching my worksheet , i defined my problem and condition for k parameter again somewhere below. I'd like to know how to implement this inside of the for loop.

Thank you

I've no idea what's going on in this worksheet, but does this do what you want?

Unfortunately , not exactly

i need to know values of tgE and tgphi after each iteration. and then ıf the conditions met k will be 1 or -1 ( it depends last two iteration solutions )

In the sheet, we are not checking any previous tgE and tgphi

So i should find a way to collect tgE and tgphi as i create array of solutions for E, a , b in this case

Because if i dont change the k depending on last solutions it will not converge for some values and calculation will not continue.

this is a Pseudo-arclength method solver for a very nonlinear system, tgE and tgphi needs to be tracked in order to draw S-shaped curves. Because after turning a limit point, i should change sign of tangent vector by myself. So i need to have information of last two solutions to adjust sign of k ( which is basically sign of the tangent vector )
