CONVERGENCE THEOREMS FOR NEWTON'S AND MODIFIED NEWTON'S METHODS

  • Published : 2009.11.30

Abstract

In this study we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space setting using Newton's and modified Newton's methods. We provide weaker convergence conditions for both methods than before [5]-[7]. Then, we combine Newton's with the modified Newton's method to approximate locally unique solutions of operator equations. Finer error estimates, a larger convergence domain, and a more precise information on the location of the solution are obtained under the same or weaker hypotheses than before [5]-[7]. The results obtained here improve our earlier ones reported in [4]. Numerical examples are also provided.
