On a class of secant-like methods for solving nonlinear equations (Q5961878)

The article deals with secant-like approximations \[ x_{n+1} = x_n - T_nF(x_n) \quad (n = 0,1,2,\dots) \] to a solution \(x^*\) of a nonlinear operator equation \(F(x) = 0\), where \(F\) is a Fréchet-differentiable operator between Banach spaces \(X\) and \(Y\), \(T_n\) are bounded linear operators from \(Y\) into \(X\). The author presents some conditions that imply the convergence of the sequence \(\{x_n\}\) to the solution \(x^*\) and the error estimates of type \[ \|x_n - x_{n-1}\| \leq t_n - t_{n-1}, \quad n = 0,1,2,\dots, \] where \(\{t_n\}\) is a auxiliary scalar sequence defined by the recurrent formulas \[ t_{-1} = \frac{1 + a_0c}{2a_0}, \quad t_0 = \frac{1 - a_0c}{2a_0}, \quad t_1 = t_0 - b, \] \[ t_{n+2} = t_{n+1} - \frac{a(t_{p_n} + t_{q_n} - t_{n+1} - t_n)(t_n - t_{n+1})}{a_0(t_{p_{n+1}} + t_{q_{n+1}})}, \] where \(a_0,a,b,\) are some scalar characteristics of \(F\) and \(T_n\), \(\{p_n\}\) and \(\{q_n\}\) are sequences with \(q_0 = -1\), \(p_0 = 0\), and \(q_n \leq p_n \leq n\). Reviewer's remark: It is rather strange, but the author does not present (in an explicit form) assumptions about the operators \(T_n\); in the author's arguments, there are also some other vague places. At the end of the article, some partial cases and examples are considered.
