On Semilocal Group Rings

Let R be an associative ring with identity. R is said to be semilocal if R/J（R） is （semisimple） Artinian, where J（R） denotes the Jacobson radical of R. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the group ring RG to be semilocal, where G is a locally finite nilpotent group.

Iterative methods for nonlinear equations and their semilocal convergence

We are concerned with the numerical methods for nonlinear equation and their semilocal convergence in this paper.The construction techniques of iterative methods are induced by using linear approximation,integral interpolation,Adomian series decomposition,Taylor expansion,multi-step iteration,etc.The convergent conditions and proof methods,including majorizing sequences and recurrence relations,in semilocal convergence of iterative methods for nonlinear equations are discussed in the theoretical analysis.The majorizing functions,which are used in majorizing sequences,are also discussed in this paper.

Convergence analysis for the Secant method based on new recurrence relations

A new convergence theorem for the Secant method in Banach spaces based on new recurrence relations is established for approximating a solution of a nonlinear operator equation. It is assumed that the divided difference of order one of the nonlinear operator is Lipschitz continuous. The convergence conditions differ from some existing ones and are easily satisfied. The results of the paper are justified by numerical examples that cannot be handled by earlier works.

LOCAL CONVERGENCE OF INEXACT NEWTON-LIKE METHOD UNDER WEAK LIPSCHITZ CONDITIONS

The paper develops the local convergence of Inexact Newton-Like Method(INLM)for approximating solutions of nonlinear equations in Banach space setting.We employ weak Lipschitz and center-weak Lipschitz conditions to perform the error analysis.The obtained results compare favorably with earlier ones such as[7,13,14,18,19].A numerical example is also provided.

KANTOROVICH THEOREM FOR VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES

Kantorovich theorem was extended to variational inequalities by which the convergence of Newton iteration,the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the problem can be tested via computational conditions at the initial point.

On Newton’s Method for Solving Nonlinear Equations and Function Splitting

We provided in[14]and[15]a semilocal convergence analysis for Newton’s method on a Banach space setting,by splitting the given operator.In this study,we improve the error bounds,order of convergence,and simplify the sufficient convergence conditions.Our results compare favorably with the Newton-Kantorovich theorem for solving equations.

THE KANTOROVICH THEOREM FOR NONLINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

Nonlinear complementarity problems (NCP) are a kind of important problem presenting in mathematical physics and economic management, whose numerical solution has recently been paid more attention to (see Refs. [1—5] and their references). Newton method and quasi-Newton methods are considerable approaches for solving NCP. There is a perfect semilocal convergence theory of the Newton method and quasi-Newton methods for solving the system of nonlinear equations.

METRICALLY REGULAR MAPPING AND ITS UTILIZATION TO CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS OF A RESTRICTED INEXACT NEWTON-TYPE METHOD

In the present paper,we study the restricted inexact Newton-type method for solving the generalized equation 0∈f(x)+F(x),where X and Y are Banach spaces,f:X→Y is a Frechet differentiable function and F:X■Y is a set-valued mapping with closed graph.We establish the convergence criteria of the restricted inexact Newton-type method,which guarantees the existence of any sequence generated by this method and show this generated sequence is convergent linearly and quadratically according to the particular assumptions on the Frechet derivative of f.Indeed,we obtain semilocal and local convergence results of restricted inexact Newton-type method for solving the above generalized equation when the Frechet derivative of f is continuous and Lipschitz continuous as well as f+F is metrically regular.An application of this method to variational inequality is given.In addition,a numerical experiment is given which illustrates the theoretical result.

Metrically regular mappings and its application to convergence analysis of a confined Newton-type method for nonsmooth generalized equations

Notion of metrically regular property and certain types of point-based approximations are used for solving the nonsmooth generalized equation f(x)+F(x)?0,where X and Y are Banach spaces,and U is an open subset of X,f:U→Y is a nonsmooth function and F:X■Y is a set-valued mapping with closed graph.We introduce a confined Newton-type method for solving the above nonsmooth generalized equation and analyze the semilocal and local convergence of this method.Specifically,under the point-based approximation of f on U and metrically regular property of f+F,we present quadratic rate of convergence of this method.Furthermore,superlinear rate of convergence of this method is provided under the conditions that f admits p-point-based approximation on U and f+F is metrically regular.An example of nonsmooth functions that have p-point-based approximation is given.Moreover,a numerical experiment is given which illustrates the theoretical result.
