Extensions and applications of the iterative method
  Aims: We aim to develop an algorithm for constructing equilibrium initial
conditions for simulations of disk galaxies with a triaxial halo and/or a
gaseous component. This will pave the way for N-body simulations of realistic
disk galaxies. Methods: We use the iterative method, which we presented in a
previous article. The idea of this method is very simple. It relies on
constrained evolution. Results: We develop an algorithm for constructing
equilibrium models of disk galaxies including a gaseous disk and a triaxial or
axisymmetric halo. We discuss two test models. The first model consists of a
spherical halo, a stellar disk, and an isothermal gaseous disk. The second
model consists of a triaxial halo, a stellar disk, and a star-forming gaseous
disk. We demonstrate that both test models are very close to equilibrium, as we
had intended.
