New sufficient convergence conditions for the secant method

Ioannis K. Argyros (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We provide new sufficient conditions for the convergence of the secant method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space. Our new idea uses “Lipschitz-type” and center-“Lipschitz-type” instead of just “Lipschitz-type” conditions on the divided difference of the operator involved. It turns out that this way our error bounds are more precise than the earlier ones and under our convergence hypotheses we can cover cases where the earlier conditions are violated.

Newton and conjugate gradient for harmonic maps from the disc into the sphere

Morgan Pierre (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We compute numerically the minimizers of the Dirichlet energy E ( u ) = 1 2 ∫ B 2 | ∇ u | 2 d x among maps u : B 2 → S 2 from the unit disc into the unit sphere that satisfy a boundary condition and a degree condition. We use a Sobolev gradient algorithm for the minimization and we prove that its continuous version preserves the degree. For the discretization of the problem we use continuous P 1 finite elements. We propose an original mesh-refining strategy needed to preserve the degree with the discrete version of the algorithm (which is a preconditioned...
