Improved local convergence for Euler-Halley-like methods with a parameter (Q276288)

The article deals with Euler-Halley-like iterative methods for solving approximately the nonlinear operator equation \(F(x) = 0\) with an operator \(f:\;X \to Y\), \(X\) and \(Y\) are Banach spaces. These methods are described by formulas \[ x_{n+1,\alpha} = HE_{F,\alpha}(x_{n,\alpha}), \quad n = 0,1,2,\dots, \] where \[ \begin{aligned} & HE_{F,\alpha}(x) = x - \bigg[I + \frac{1}{2} (I - \alpha L_F(x))^{-1}\bigg]\\ & F'(x)^{-1}(x)F(x), \quad L_f(x) = F'(x)^{-1}F''(x)F'(x)^{-1}F(x).\end{aligned} \] The error estimates for these approximations to the known solution \(x^*\) are obtained under the following conditions: \[ \begin{aligned} &F'(x^*)^{-1} \in L(Y,X);\tag{a}\\ &\| F'(x^*)^{-1}F''(x)\| \leq L(0);\tag{b}\\ &\| F'(x^*)^{-1}(F''(x) - F(x^* + \theta(x - x^*)))\| \leq \int_{\theta\| x - x^*\|}^{\| x - x^*\|} L'(u) \, du,\tag{c}\end{aligned} \] where \(L: [0,r] \to {\mathbb R}\), \(L(0) > 0\), \(L'(z) \geq 0\), and \(\int_0^r L(z) \, dz = 1\). Some numerical examples are presented.
