On the "terra incognita" for the newton-kantrovich method with applications

Abstract

In this paper, we use Newton's method to approximate a locally unique solution of an equation in Banach spaces and introduce recurrent functions to provide a weaker semilocal convergence analysis for Newton's method than before [1]-[13], in some interesting cases, provided that the Fréchet-derivative of the operator involved is p-Hölder continuous (p ?(0, 1]). Numerical examples involving two boundary value problems are also provided. © 2014 Korean Mathematical Society.
