An improved local convergence analysis for a two-step Steffensen-type method (Q1032010): Difference between revisions

The authors are concerned with the approximation of the locally unique solution \(x^{*}\) of the variational inclusion \[ 0\in f(x)+G(x) \] where \(f:X\rightarrow X\), where \(X\) is a Banach space and \(G:X\rightarrow 2^{X}\). Given the starting point\(x_{0}\) they use the two-step Steffensen-type method: \[ \begin{aligned} 0&\in f(x_{k})+[g_{1}(x_{k}),g_{2}(x_{k});f](y_{k}-x_{k})+G(y_{k}),\\ 0&\in f(y_{k})+[g_{1}(x_{k}),g_{2}(x_{k});f](x_{k+1}-y_{k})+G(x_{k+1}), \end{aligned} \quad k=0,1,\dots. \] The main result consists in showing under less restrictive conditions than those known until now and with less computational cost the method is still locally convergent. The sections are as follows: Basic background; Local convergence analysis; Conclusions.
