A Comparison Study of the Classical and Modern Results of Semi-Local Convergence of Newton–Kantorovich Iterations-II

Abstract

This article is an independently written continuation of an earlier study with the same title [Mathematics, 2022, 10, 1225] on the Newton Process (NP). This process is applied to solve nonlinear equations. The complementing features are: the smallness of the initial approximation is expressed explicitly in turns of the Lipschitz or Hölder constants and the convergence order 1+p is shown for p∈(0,1]. The first feature becomes attainable by further simplifying proofs of convergence criteria. The second feature is possible by choosing a bit larger upper bound on the smallness of the initial approximation. This way, the completed convergence analysis is finer and can replace the classical one by Kantorovich and others. A two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP) is solved to complement this article.
