Let \(F:D\subseteq E_1\to E_2\) be a continuous nonlinear operator, where \(E_1\), \(E_2\) are partially ordered topological spaces. The author introduces implicit Netwon-like methods of the form \[ F(x_{n+ 1})+ A^1(x_{n- 1},x_n) (x_{n+ 1}- x_n)= 0\quad (n\geq 0),\tag{1} \] \[ F(y_{n+ 1})+ A^2(y_n, y_{n- 1}) (y_{n+ 1}- y_n)= 0\quad (n\geq 0)\tag{2} \] with operators \(A^1,A^2: D^2\to L(E_1, E_2)\). Under additional assumptions, he proves the existence of two sequences of iterates \(\{x_n\}\), \(\{y_n\}\) which satisfy (1), (2) and which converge monotonically increasing and monotonically decreasing, respectively, to two limits \(x^*\) and \(y^*\), respectively, such that \(x^*\leq y^*\). Strengthening the assumptions leads to \(F(x^*)= F(y^*)= 0\). In addition, conditions are given such that \(x^*= y^*\).
