A new semilocal convergence theorem for a fast iterative method with nondifferentiable operators (Q711503)

The article deals the following iterative method \[ x_{n+1} = x_n - L_n^{-1}F(x_n), \quad L_n = [2x_n - x_{n-1},x_{n-1};H] + [x_{n-1},x_n;G]\tag{1} \] for approximate solving a nonlinear operator equation \(H(x) + G(x) = 0\) with operators \(H\) and \(G\) satisfying the conditions \[ \|[x,y;H] - [v,w;H]\| \leq \omega(\|x - v\|,\|y - w\|), \] \[ \|[x,y;G] - [v,w;G]\| \leq \omega_1(\|x - v\|,\|y - w\|) \] (\([x,y;F]\) is a divided difference of order one for the operator \(F\)). The authors present simple conditions under which the iteration (1) with an initial \(x_0\) is well defined in the ball \(B(x_0,R)\) and converges to a unique solution \(x^*\) of (1) in this ball. In the end of the article, the authors consider a numerical example with the system \[ 3x^2y + y^2 - 1 + |x - 1| = 0, \quad x^4 + xy^3 - 1 + |y| = 0. \]
