Globally convergent inexact generalized Newton's methods for nonsmooth equations (Q5957941)

An inexact generalized Newton's method is studied which is shown to be globally convergent to a solution to \(F(x)=0\) for Lipschitz continuous maps \(F\). Under some mild additional conditions, the methods are implementable and superlinearly convergent. An application is given for finding a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point for a constrained nonlinear optimization problem.
