Abstract

In this paper, we propose a generalized Newton-iterative method for solving semismooth equations and the R-linear convergence is obtained for the method. Furthermore, we verify that the method is superlinearly convergent under appropriate assumptions. Numerical results are included to illustrate the theory.
