Finite-dimensional linear approximations of solutions to general irregular nonlinear operator equations and equations with quadratic operators

A general scheme for improving approximate solutions to irregular nonlinear operator equations in Hilbert spaces is proposed and analyzed in the presence of errors. A modification of this scheme designed for equations with quadratic operators is also examined. The technique of universal linear approximations of irregular equations is combined with the projection onto finite-dimensional subspaces of a special form. It is shown that, for finite-dimensional quadratic problems, the proposed scheme provides information about the global geometric properties of the intersections of quadrics.
