In this manuscript we study perturbed Newton-like methods for the solution of nonlinear operator equations in a Banach space and their discretized versions in connection with the mesh independence principle. This principle asserts that the behavior of the discretized process is asymptotically the same as that for the original iteration and consequently, the number of steps required by the two processes to converge to within a given tolerance is essentially the same. So far this result has been proved by others using Newton's method for certain classes of boundary value problems and even more generally by considering a Lipschitz uniform discretization. In some of our earlierpapers we extend these results to include Newton-like methods under more general conditions. However, all previous results assume that the iterates can be computed exactly. This is mot true in general. That in why we use perturbed Newton-like methods and even more general conditions. Our results, on the one hand, extend, and on the other hand, make more practical and applicable all previous results.

In cases sufficient conditions for the semilocal convergence of Newtonlike methods are violated, we start with a modified Newton-like method (whose weaker convergence conditions hold) until we stop at a certain finite step. Then using as a starting guess the point found above we show convergence of the Newtonlike method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation in a Banach space setting. A numerical example is also provided.

We provide local and semilocal theorems for the convergence of Newton-like methods to a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space. The analytic property of the operator involved replaces the usual domain condition for Newton-like methods. In the case of the local results we show that the radius of convergence can be enlarged. A numerical example is given to justify our claim . This observation is important and finds applications in steplength selection in predictor-corrector continuation procedures.

Local convergence results for three Newton-like methods in Banach space are provided. A comparison is given between the three convergence radii. Then we show that using the largest convergence radius we can pick an initial guess from with we start the corresponding iteration. It turns out that after a finite number of steps we can always use the iterate found as the starting guess for a faster method, since this iterate will be inside the convergence domain of the new method.

We provide local convergence results in affine form for inexact Newton-like as well as quasi-Newton iterative methods in a Banach space setting. We use hypotheses on the second or on the first and mth Frechet-derivative (m≥2 an integer) of the operator involved. Our results allow a wider choice of starting points since our radius of convergence can be larger than the corresponding one given in earlier results using hypotheses on the first-Frechet-derivative only. A numerical example is provided to illustrate this fact. Our results apply when the method is, for example, a difference Newton-like or update-Newton method. Furthermore, our results have direct applications to the solution of autonomous differential equations.

Affine invariant sufficient conditions are given for two local convergence theorems involving inexact Newton-like methods. The first uses conditions on the first Frechet-derivative whereas the second theorem employs hypotheses on the second. Radius of con-vergence as well as rate of convergence results are derived. Results involving superlinear convergence and known to be true for inexact Newton methods are extended here. Moreover we show that under hypotheses on the second Frechet-derivation our radius of convergence results are derived. Results involving superlinear convergence and known to be true or inexact Newton methods are extended here. Moreover we show that under hypotheses on the second Frechet-derivative our radius of conver-gence is larger than the corresponding one in [10]. This allows a wider choice for the initial guess. A numerical example is also pro-vided to show that our radius of convergence is larger then the one in [10].

We provide a local convergence analysis for Newton-like methods for the solution of generalized equations in a Banach space setting. Using some ideas of ours introduced in [2] for nonlinear equations we show that under weaker hypotheses and computational cost than in [7] a larger convergence radius and finer error bounds on the distances involved can be obtained.

In this study we are concerned with the problem of approximating a solution of a nonlinear equation in Banach space using Newton-like methods. Due to rounding errors the sequence of iterates generated on a computer differs from the sequence produced in theory. Using Lipschitz-type hypotheses on the second Frechet-derivative instead of the first one, we provide sufficient convergence conditions for the inexact Newton-like method that is actually generated on the computer. Moreover, we show that the ratio of convergence improves under our conditions. Furthermore, we provide a wider choice of initial guesses than before. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show that our results compare favorably with earlier ones.

In this study we use inexact Newton-like methods to find solutions of nonlinear operator equations on Banach spaces with a convergence structure. Our technique involves the introduction of a generalized norm as an operator from a linear space into a par-tially ordered Banach space. In this way the metric properties of the examined problem can be analyzed more precisely. Moreover this approach allows us to derive from the same theorem on the one hand semi-local results of kantorovich-type and on the other hand 2global results based on monotonicity considerations. By imposing very general Lipschitz-like conditions on the operators involved on the other hand by choosing our operators appropriately we can find sharper error bounds on the distances involved than before. Furthermore we show that special cases of our results reduce to the corresponding ones already in the literature. Finally our results are used to solve integral equations that cannot be solved with existing methods.

Affine invariant sufficient conditions are given for two local convergence theorems involving inexact Newton-like methods. The first uses conditions on the first Frechet-derivative whereas the second theorem employs hypotheses on the mth(m≥2 an integer). Radius of convergence as well as rate of convergence results are derived. Results involving superlinear convergence and known to be true for inexact Newton methods are extended here. Moreover, we show that under hypotheses on the mth Frechet-derivative our radius of convergence can sometimes be larger than the corresponding one in [10]. This allows a wider choice for the initial guess. A numerical example is also provided to show that our radius of convergence is larger than the one in [10].
