Abstract

We study the problem of finding good starting points for the semilocal convergence of Newton's method to a locally unique solution of an operator equation in a Banach space setting. Using a weakened version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem we show that the procedure suggested by Kung [6] is improved in the sense that the number of Newton-steps required to compute a good starting point can be significantly reduced (under the same computational cost required in the Newton--Kantorovich theorem [3], [5]).
