We recently showed in [5] a semilocal convergence theorem that guarantees convergence of Newton's method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation under hypotheses weaker than those of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem [7]. Here, we first weaken Miranda's theorem [1], [9], [10], which is a generalization of the intermediate value theorem. Then, we show that operators satisfying the weakened Newton-Kantorovich conditions satisfy those of the weakened Miranda’s theorem.
