Inexact generalized Newton methods for second order \(C\)-differentiable optimization (Q1298488)

The authors define second-order \(C\)-differentiable functions and second-order \(C\)-differential operators and present an inexact generalized Newton method [cf. \textit{J. M. Martinez} and \textit{L. Qi}, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 60, No. 1-2, 127-145 (1995; Zbl 0833.65045)] to solve the unconstrained nonlinear programming problem \(\min f(x)\), \(x\in\mathbb{R}^n\), where the objective function \(f\) is not twice differentiable, but second-order \(C\)-differentiable. Convergence of the method is established. No computational results are included.
