CONCERNING THE RADIUS OF CONVERGENCE OF NEWTON'S METHOD AND APPLICATIONS

  • Published : 1999.09.01

Abstract

We present local and semilocal convergence results for New-ton's method in a Banach space setting. In particular using Lipschitz-type assumptions on the second Frechet-derivative we find results con-cerning the radius of convergence of Newton's method. Such results are useful in the context of predictor-corrector continuation procedures. Finally we provide numerical examples to show that our results can ap-ply where earlier ones using Lipschitz assumption on the first Frechet-derivative fail.
