Abstract

In this paper, a truncated conjugate gradient method with an inexact Gauss-Newton technique is proposed for solving nonlinear systems. The iterative direction is obtained by the conjugate gradient method solving the inexact Gauss-Newton equation. Global convergence and local superlinear convergence rate of the proposed algorithm are established under some reasonable conditions. Finally, some numerical results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
