Abstract




In this study we use Newton-like methods to approximate solutions of nonlinear equations in a Banach space setting. Most convergence results for Newton-like methods involve some type of a Lipschitz continuity condition on the Frechet-derivative of the operator involved However there are many interesting real life problems already in the literature where the operator can only satisfy a Holder continuity condition. That is why here we chose the Frcchet-derivativc of the operator involved to be only Holder continuous, which allows us to consider a wider range of problems than before. Special choices of our parameters reduce our results to earlier ones. An error analysis is also provided for our method. At the end of our study, we provide applications to show that our results apply where earlier results do not. In paricular we solve a two point boundary value problem appearing in physics in connection with the problem of bending of beams.
