Convergence of Newton's method under Vertgeim conditions: new extensions using restricted convergence domains (Q683872)

The article deals with the Newton-Kantorovich approximations \[ x_{n+1} = x_n - F'(x_n)^{-1}F(x_n), \quad n = 0,1,2,\ldots, \] for approximative solving the nonlinear operator equation \(F(x) = 0\) with the nonlinear operator \(F\) between Banach spaces \(X\) and \(Y\). The authors consider the case of Vertgeim-like conditions \[ \|[F'(x_0)^{-1}](F'(x_1) - F'(x_2))\| \leq \ell\|x_1 - x_2\|^p \] (\(0 \leq p \leq 1\)) with the additional condition \[ \|[F'(x_0)^{-1}](F'(x) - F'(x_0))\| \leq \ell_0\|x - x_0\|^p. \] On the base of the Kantorovich majorant method, the authors state conditions on \(\ell\) and \(\ell_0\) under which the operator equation under consideration has a unique solution near \(x_0\). Two numerical examples are presented.
