On the convergence of a Newton-like method in \(\mathbb R^{n}\) and the use of Berinde's exit criterion (Q2469037)

Summary: \textit{V. Berinde} [Novi Sad J. Math. 27, No.~1, 19--26 (1997; Zbl 1011.65020)] has shown that Newton's method for a scalar equation \(f(x)=0\) converges under some conditions involving only \(f\) and \(f'\) and not \(f''\) when a generalized stopping inequality is valid. Later \textit{R. Sen, A. Biswas, R. Patra} and \textit{S. Mukherjee} [An extension on Berinde's criterion for the convergence of a Newton-like method, Bulletin of the Calcutta Mathematical Society (to appear)] have extended Berinde's theorem to the case where the condition that \(f'(x)\neq 0\) need not necessarily be true. In this paper we have extended Berinde's theorem to the class of \(n\)-dimensional equations, \(F(x)=0\), where \(F:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R^n\), \(\mathbb R^n\) denotes the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space. We also assume that \(F'(x)\) has an inverse not necessarily at every point in the domain of definition of \(F\).
