On mesh independence and Newton-type methods

Owe Axelsson (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

Mesh-independent convergence of Newton-type methods for the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations is discussed. First, under certain local smoothness assumptions, it is shown that by properly relating the mesh parameters H and h for a coarse and a fine discretization mesh, it suffices to compute the solution of the nonlinear equation on the coarse mesh and subsequently correct it once using the linearized (Newton) equation on the fine mesh. In this way the iteration error will be...

On the convergence and application of Stirling's method

Ioannis K. Argyros (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We provide new sufficient convergence conditions for the local and semilocal convergence of Stirling's method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation in a Banach space setting. In contrast to earlier results we do not make use of the basic restrictive assumption in [8] that the norm of the Fréchet derivative of the operator involved is strictly bounded above by 1. The study concludes with a numerical example where our results compare favorably with earlier ones.

On the convergence of Newton's method under ω*-conditioned second derivative

Ioannis K. Argyros, Saïd Hilout (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We provide a new semilocal result for the quadratic convergence of Newton's method under ω*-conditioned second Fréchet derivative on a Banach space. This way we can handle equations where the usual Lipschitz-type conditions are not verifiable. An application involving nonlinear integral equations and two boundary value problems is provided. It turns out that a similar result using ω-conditioned hypotheses can provide usable error estimates indicating only linear convergence for Newton's method.

On the convergence of the Ishikawa iterates to a common fixed point of two mappings

Ljubomir B. Ćirić, Jeong Sheok Ume, M. S. Khan (2003)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let C be a convex subset of a complete convex metric space X , and S and T be two selfmappings on C . In this paper it is shown that if the sequence of Ishikawa iterations associated with S and T converges, then its limit point is the common fixed point of S and T . This result extends and generalizes the corresponding results of Naimpally and Singh [6], Rhoades [7] and Hicks and Kubicek [3].
