Smoothing Methods and Semismooth Methods for Nondifferentiable Operator Equations

From MaRDI portal





This paper deals with the numerical solution of nonlinear equations in Banach spaces with operators that are not differentiable. Using a concept of semismoothness in infinite-dimensional spaces, which is based upon the notion of slanting functions and slant differentiability and which coincides with the semismoothness in the case of a locally Lipschitz continuous function on \(\mathbb{R}^n\), analogues of Newton's method and their superlinear convergence are studied. It is proved that a function is slantly differentiable at some point iff it is Lipschitz continuous. Finally, the two-dimensional Poisson equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary and nonlinear, nonsmooth right-hand side depending on the solution serves as an example.
