Error Estimates for Semidiscrete Galerkin Type Approximations for Semilinear Evolution Equations with Nonsmooth Initial Data.
We derive explicit bounds on the constants in error estimates for two quasi-interpolation operators which are modifications of the “classical” Clément-operator. These estimates are crucial for making explicit the constants which appear in popular a posteriori error estimates. They are also compared with corresponding estimates for the standard nodal interpolation operator.
We use a two-point Newton-like method to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation containing a non-differentiable term in a Banach space setting. Using more precise majorizing sequences than in earlier studies, we present a tighter semi-local and local convergence analysis and weaker convergence criteria. This way we expand the applicability of these methods. Numerical examples are provided where the old convergence criteria do not hold but the new convergence criteria are satisfied....
We extend the applicability of Newton's method for approximating a solution of a nonlinear operator equation in a Banach space setting using nondiscrete mathematical induction concept introduced by Potra and Pták. We obtain new sufficient convergence conditions for Newton's method using Lipschitz and center-Lipschitz conditions instead of only the Lipschitz condition used in F. A. Potra, V. Pták, Sharp error bounds for Newton's process, Numer. Math., 34 (1980), 63–72, and F. A. Potra, V. Pták, Nondiscrete...
