An inverse free Broyden's method for solving equations


Ioannis K. Argyros, Santhosh George




Based on a center-Lipschitz-type condition and our idea of the restricted convergence domain, we present a new semi-local convergence analysis for an inverse free Broyden's method (BM) in order to approximate a locally unique solution of an equation in a Hilbert space setting. The operators involved have regularly continuous divided differences. This way we provide weaker sufficient semi-local convergence conditions, tighter error bounds, and a more precise information on the location of the solution. Hence, our approach extends the applicability of BM under the same hypotheses as before. Finally, we consider some special cases.
