Extended Newton-like Midpoint Method for Solving Equations in Banach Space

Abstract

In this study, we present a convergence analysis of a Newton-like midpoint method for solving nonlinear equations in a Banach space setting. The semilocal convergence is analyzed in two different ways. The first one is shown by replacing the existing conditions with weaker and tighter continuity conditions, thereby enhancing its applicability. The second one uses more general ω-continuity conditions and the majorizing principle. This approach includes only the first order Fréchet derivative and is applicable for problems that were otherwise hard to solve by using approaches seen in the literature. Moreover, the local convergence is established along with the existence and uniqueness region of the solution. The method is useful for solving Engineering and Applied Science problems. The paper ends with numerical examples that show the applicability of our convergence theorems in cases not covered in earlier studies.
