Ulm's method under regular smoothness

From MaRDI portal





\textit{S. Ul'm's} iterative method for solving nonlinear operator equations \(f(x)= 0\) in Banach spaces [Izv. Akad. Nauk Eston. SSR, Fiz. Mat. 16, 403-411 (1967; Zbl 0189.48501)] is to construct a sequence \[ \begin{aligned} x_{n+1} &= x_n- B_nf(x_n),\\ B_{n+ 1} &= 2B_n- B_nf'(x_{n+1}) B_n\end{aligned} \] with \(\| I- B_0f'(x_0)\|< 1\). Ul'm has shown (under rather restrictive assumptions) the convergence of \(\{x_n\}\) to a solution of the operator equation. In the present paper, it is only assumed the regular smoothness of the operator instead of the usual Lipschitz smoothness. Convergence conditions are given, existence and uniqueness in certain domains and a priori and a posteriori error bounds are proved. The method is applied to Chandrasekhar's integral equation arising in radiative transfer.
