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 secant method under the gamma condition

Ioannis Argyros (2007)

Open Mathematics

We provide sufficient convergence conditions for the Secant method of approximating a locally unique solution of an operator equation in a Banach space. The main hypothesis is the gamma condition first introduced in [10] for the study of Newton’s method. Our sufficient convergence condition reduces to the one obtained in [10] for Newton’s method. A numerical example is also provided.

On the convergence of two-step Newton-type methods of high efficiency index

Ioannis K. Argyros, Saïd Hilout (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We introduce a new idea of recurrent functions to provide a new semilocal convergence analysis for two-step Newton-type methods of high efficiency index. It turns out that our sufficient convergence conditions are weaker, and the error bounds are tighter than in earlier studies in many interesting cases. Applications and numerical examples, involving a nonlinear integral equation of Chandrasekhar type, and a differential equation containing a Green's kernel are also provided.

On the Halley method in Banach spaces

Ioannis K. Argyros, Hongmin Ren (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We provide a semilocal convergence analysis for Halley's method using convex majorants in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation in a Banach space setting. Our results reduce and improve earlier ones in special cases.
