On Brown's method with convexity hypotheses

Juan Pedro Milaszewicz (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

Given two initial points generating monotone convergent Brown iterations in the context of the monotone Newton theorem (MNT), it is proved that if one of them is an upper bound of the other, then the same holds for each pair of respective terms in the Brown sequences they generate. This comparison result is carried over to the corresponding Brown-Fourier iterations. An illustration is discussed.

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...
