Local convergence analysis of inexact Newton-like methods under majorant condition (Q626659): Difference between revisions

The aim of this paper is to present a new local convergence analysis of inexact Newton-like methods for solving nonlinear equations under majorant conditions. In this analysis, the classical Lipschitz condition is relaxed using a majorant function. This condition is equivalent to Wang's condition introduced in [\textit{X. Wang}, IMA J. Numer. Anal. 20, No. 1, 123--134 (2000; Zbl 0942.65057)] and used by \textit{J. Chen} and \textit{W. Li} in [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 191, No. 1, 143--164 (2006; Zbl 1092.65043)] to study the inexact Newton-like methods. The presented convergence analysis is linear in an arbitrary norm. It provides a new estimate for the convergence radius and a clear relationship between the majorant function and the nonlinear operator under consideration. The results also allow to obtain some special cases that can be evaluated as an application.
