Semilocal convergence on a family of root-finding multi-point methods in Banach spaces under relaxed continuity condition

In this paper, we consider the semilocal convergence on a family of root-finding multi-point methods. Compared with the results in reference (Hernández, M.A., Salanova, M.A., J. Comput. Appl. Math. 126, 131–143 3), these multi-point methods do not require the second derivative, Hölder continuity condition is relaxed, and the R-order is also enhanced. We prove an existence-uniqueness theorem of the solution. The R-order for these multi-point methods is at least 6 + q with relaxed continuous second derivative, where q∈[0,1].     

Generic power convergence of operators in banach spaces

Let K be a closed convex subset of a Banach space X. We consider complete metric spaces of self-mappings of K which are nonexpansive with respect to a convex function on X. We prove that the iterates of a generic operator in these spaces converge strongly. In some cases the limits do not depend on the initial points and are the unique fixed point of the operator.     

On the semilocal convergence of inexact Newton methods in Banach spaces

We provide two types of semilocal convergence theorems for approximating a solution of an equation in a Banach space setting using an inexact Newton method [I.K.

Moreover if the splitting method is used, we show that a smaller number of inner/outer iterations can be obtained.     

Semilocal convergence of an eighth-order method in Banach spaces and its computational efficiency

The aim of this paper is to study the semilocal convergence of the eighth-order iterative method by using the recurrence relations for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. The existence and uniqueness theorem has been proved along with priori error bounds. We have also presented the comparative study of the computational efficiency in case of R^m with some existing methods whose semilocal convergence analysis has been already discussed. Finally, numerical application on nonlinear integral equations is given to show our approach.     

Recurrence relations for semilocal convergence of a fifth-order method in Banach spaces

In this paper, we study the semilocal convergence for a fifth-order method for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. The semilocal convergence of this method is established by using recurrence relations. We prove an existence-uniqueness theorem and give a priori error bounds which demonstrates the R-order of the method. As compared with the Jarratt method in Hernández and Salanova (Southwest J Pure Appl Math 1:29–40, 1999) and the Multi-super-Halley method in Wang et al. (Numer Algorithms 56:497–516, 2011), the differentiability conditions of the convergence of the method in this paper are mild and the R-order is improved. Finally, we give some numerical applications to demonstrate our approach.     

Recurrence relations for semilocal convergence of a Newton-like method in Banach spaces

The aim of this paper is to establish the semilocal convergence of a multipoint third order Newton-like method for solving F(x)=0 in Banach spaces by using recurrence relations. The convergence of this method is studied under the assumption that the second Fréchet derivative of F satisfies Hölder continuity condition. This continuity condition is milder than the usual Lipschitz continuity condition. A new family of recurrence relations are defined based on the two new constants which depend on the operator F. These recurrence relations give a priori error bounds for the method. Two numerical examples are worked out to demonstrate the applicability of the method in cases where the Lipschitz continuity condition over second derivative of F fails but Hölder continuity condition holds.     

Theorem on a convergence condition in the spaces

For a given -function (u), a condition on a -function (u) is found such that it is necessary and sufficient for the following to hold: if f_n(x) f(x) and f _n (x)M (n=1, 2, ...) where M>0 is an absolute constant, then f _n (x)–f(x)0(n). An analogous condition for convergence in Orlicz spaces is obtained as a corollary.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 615–626, May, 1977.The author thanks V. A.

Generalized conditions for the convergence of inexact Newton-like methods on banach spaces with a convergence structure and applications

In this study, we use inexact Newton-like methods to find solutions of nonlinear operator equations on Banach spaces with a convergence structure. Our technique involves the introduction of a generalized norm as an operator from a linear space into a partially ordered Banach space. In this way the metric properties of the examined problem can be analyzed more precisely. Moreover, this approach allows us to derive from the same theorem, on the one hand, semi-local results of Kantorovich-type, and on the other hand, global results based on monotonicity considerations. By imposing very general Lipschitz-like conditions on the operators involved, on the one hand, we cover a wider range of problems, and on the other hand, by choosing our operators appropriately we can find sharper error bounds on the distances involved than before. Furthermore, we show that special cases of our results reduce to the corresponding ones already in the literature. Finally, our results are used to solve integral equations that cannot be solved with existing methods.     

Semisummands and semiideals in banach spaces

Let |·| be a fixed absolute norm onR ². We introduce semi-|·|-summands (resp. |·|-summands) as a natural extension of semi-L-summands (resp.L-summands). We prove that the following statements are equivalent. (i) Every semi-|·|-summand is a |·|-summand, (ii) (1, 0) is not a vertex of the closed unit ball ofR ² with the norm |·|. In particular semi-L ^p-summands areL ^p-summands whenever 1<p≦∞. The concept of semi-|·|-ideal (resp. |·|-ideal) is introduced in order to extend the one of semi-M-ideal (resp.M-ideal). The following statements are shown to be equivalent. (i) Every semi-|·|-ideal is a |·|-ideal, (ii) every |·|-ideal is a |·|-summand, (iii) (0, 1) is an extreme point of the closed unit ball ofR ² with the norm |·|. From semi-|·|-ideals we define semi-|·|-idealoids in the same way as semi-|·|-ideals arise from semi-|·|-summands. Proper semi-|·|-idealoids are those which are neither semi-|·|-summands nor semi-|·|-ideals. We prove that there is a proper semi-|·|-idealoid if and only if (1, 0) is a vertex and (0, 1) is not an extreme point of the closed unit ball ofR ² with the norm |·|. So there are no proper semi-L ^p-idealoids. The paper concludes by showing thatw*-closed semi-|·|-idealoids in a dual Banach space are semi-|·|-summands, so no new concept appears by predualization of semi-|·|-idealoids.     

Optimization and differentiation in banach spaces

We show that some old ideas of Smulian can be used to give another proof of a theorem of Bourgain. We characterize subsets of Banach spaces having the Radon- Nikodym property by means of optimization results.     

Strong convergence theorems of common elements for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in banach spaces

In this paper,we consider hybrid algorithms for finding common elements of the set of common fixed points of two families quasi-φ-non-expansive mappings and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem.We establish strong convergence theorems of common elements in uniformly smooth and strictly convex Banach spaces with the property (K).     

Semilocal convergence of a modified multi-point Jarratt method in Banach spaces under general continuity condition

The semilocal convergence for a modified multi-point Jarratt method for solving non-linear equations in Banach spaces is established with the third-order Fréchet derivative of the operator under a general continuity condition. The recurrence relations are derived for the method, and from this, we prove an existence-uniqueness theorem, and give a priori error bounds. The R-order of the method is also analyzed with the third-order Fréchet derivative of the operator under different continuity conditions. Numerical application on non-linear integral equation of the mixed type is given to show our approach.
