Abstract

In this paper we consider a general class of Newton-like methods for calculating the solution of n nonlinear equations in n variables, which are continously differentiable.

Assuming nonsingularity and Lipschitz continuity of the jacobian (the matrix of first partial derivatives of the system) on a certain level set, then we can derive a global convergence theorem for iterative methods in the given class.
