Abstract

In 1986, I. Păvăloiu [6] has considered a Banach space and the fixed point problem \[x=\lambda D\left( x\right) +y, \qquad D:X\rightarrow X \ \textrm{nonlinear},\ \lambda\in {\mathbb R},\ y\in X \ \textrm{given}\]written in the equivalent form \(F(x):=x -\lambda D\left( x\right) -y=0\) and solved by the general quasi-Newton method\[x_{n+1}=x_n-A(x_n) \left[ x_n-\lambda D(x_n) -y\right] ,\qquad n=0,1,\ldots\]Semilocal convergence results were obtained, ensuring linear convergence of these iterates. Further results were obtained for the iterates \[x_{n+1}=x_n-[I+\lambda D^\prime(x_n)] \left[x_n+\lambda D(x_n) -y\right] ,\qquad n=0,1,\ldots\] In this note, we analyze the local convergence of these iterates, and, using the Ostrowski local attraction theorem, we give some sufficient conditions such that the iterates converge locally either linearly or with higher convergence orders. The local convergence results require fewer differentiability assumptions for \(D\).

1. INTRODUCTION

In [6], Păvăloiu has considered a Banach space ( X , X , X,||*||X,\|\cdot\|X, ), a nonlinear mapping D : X X D : X X D:X rarr XD: X \rightarrow XD:XX, a parameter λ R λ R lambda inR\lambda \in \mathbb{R}λR, an element y X y X y in Xy \in XyX and the equation (arising from certain integral equations)
(1) x = λ D ( x ) + y (1) x = λ D ( x ) + y {:(1)x=lambda D(x)+y:}\begin{equation*} x=\lambda D(x)+y \tag{1} \end{equation*}(1)x=λD(x)+y
solved by the following iterations:
(2) x k + 1 = x k A ( x k ) [ x k λ D ( x k ) y ] , k = 0 , 1 , , x 0 E X , (2) x k + 1 = x k A x k x k λ D x k y , k = 0 , 1 , , x 0 E X , {:(2)x_(k+1)=x_(k)-A(x_(k))[x_(k)-lambda D(x_(k))-y]","quad k=0","1","dots","x_(0)in E sube X",":}\begin{equation*} x_{k+1}=x_{k}-A\left(x_{k}\right)\left[x_{k}-\lambda D\left(x_{k}\right)-y\right], \quad k=0,1, \ldots, x_{0} \in E \subseteq X, \tag{2} \end{equation*}(2)xk+1=xkA(xk)[xkλD(xk)y],k=0,1,,x0EX,
where A ( x ) : E E A ( x ) : E E A(x):E rarr EA(x): E \rightarrow EA(x):EE is a linear continuous mapping (i.e., A ( x ) L ( X ) A ( x ) L ( X ) A(x)inL(X)A(x) \in \mathcal{L}(X)A(x)L(X) ), for each x E x E x in Ex \in ExE.
Denoting
(3) F ( x ) = x λ D ( x ) y (3) F ( x ) = x λ D ( x ) y {:(3)F(x)=x-lambda D(x)-y:}\begin{equation*} F(x)=x-\lambda D(x)-y \tag{3} \end{equation*}(3)F(x)=xλD(x)y
the above iterations can be written as
x k + 1 = x k A ( x k ) F ( x k ) , k = 0 , 1 , ; x k + 1 = x k A x k F x k , k = 0 , 1 , ; x_(k+1)=x_(k)-A(x_(k))F(x_(k)),quad k=0,1,dots;x_{k+1}=x_{k}-A\left(x_{k}\right) F\left(x_{k}\right), \quad k=0,1, \ldots ;xk+1=xkA(xk)F(xk),k=0,1,;
in a subsequent paper, Părăloiu [7] has analyzed the above iterations for general mappings F F FFF, not necessarily given by (3).
The following semilocal convergence results were obtained.
Theorem 1. [6] If the mappings D D DDD and A ( x ) A ( x ) A(x)A(x)A(x), the initial approximation x 0 x 0 x_(0)x_{0}x0 and the real number r > 0 r > 0 r > 0r>0r>0 satisfy the following conditions:
i. the mapping D D DDD admits Fréchet derivatives of order one and two on the ball S = S ( x 0 , r ) S = S x 0 , r S=S(x_(0),r)S=S\left(x_{0}, r\right)S=S(x0,r);
ii. A ( x ) β A ( x ) β ||A(x)|| <= beta\|A(x)\| \leq \betaA(x)β, for each x S x S x in Sx \in SxS, and some β > 0 β > 0 beta > 0\beta>0β>0;
iii. I F ( x ) A ( x ) α I F ( x ) A ( x ) α ||I-F^(')(x)A(x)|| <= alpha\left\|I-F^{\prime}(x) A(x)\right\| \leq \alphaIF(x)A(x)α, for each x S x S x in Sx \in SxS, and some α > 0 α > 0 alpha > 0\alpha>0α>0;
iv. D ( x ) M / | λ | D ( x ) M / | λ | ||D^('')(x)|| <= M//|lambda|\left\|D^{\prime \prime}(x)\right\| \leq M /|\lambda|D(x)M/|λ|, for each x S x S x in Sx \in SxS, and some M > 0 M > 0 M > 0M>0M>0;
v. β ρ 0 1 d 0 r β ρ 0 1 d 0 r (betarho_(0))/(1-d_(0)) <= r\frac{\beta \rho_{0}}{1-d_{0}} \leq rβρ01d0r, where ρ 0 = F ( x 0 ) , d 0 = M β 2 ρ 0 2 + α ρ 0 = F x 0 , d 0 = M β 2 ρ 0 2 + α rho_(0)=||F(x_(0))||,d_(0)=(Mbeta^(2)rho_(0))/(2)+alpha\rho_{0}=\left\|F\left(x_{0}\right)\right\|, d_{0}=\frac{M \beta^{2} \rho_{0}}{2}+\alphaρ0=F(x0),d0=Mβ2ρ02+α;
vi. d 0 < 1 d 0 < 1 d_(0) < 1d_{0}<1d0<1,
then the sequence ( x k ) k 0 x k k 0 (x_(k))_(k >= 0)\left(x_{k}\right)_{k \geq 0}(xk)k0 given by (2) converges: x = lim k x k x = lim k x k x^(**)=lim_(k rarr oo)x_(k)x^{*}=\lim _{k \rightarrow \infty} x_{k}x=limkxk, with F ( x ) = 0 F x = 0 F(x^(**))=0F\left(x^{*}\right)=0F(x)=0. The following estimations hold:
x x k β d 0 k ρ 0 1 d 0 , k = 0 , 1 , x x k β d 0 k ρ 0 1 d 0 , k = 0 , 1 , ||x^(**)-x_(k)|| <= (betad_(0)^(k)rho_(0))/(1-d_(0)),quad k=0,1,dots\left\|x^{*}-x_{k}\right\| \leq \frac{\beta d_{0}^{k} \rho_{0}}{1-d_{0}}, \quad k=0,1, \ldotsxxkβd0kρ01d0,k=0,1,
When λ D ( x ) < 1 λ D ( x ) < 1 ||lambdaD^(')(x)|| < 1\left\|\lambda D^{\prime}(x)\right\|<1λD(x)<1, it is known that the operator I λ D ( x ) I λ D ( x ) I-lambdaD^(')(x)I-\lambda D^{\prime}(x)IλD(x) is invertible, with ( I λ D ( x ) ) 1 = I + λ D ( x ) + λ 2 D ( x ) 2 + I λ D ( x ) 1 = I + λ D ( x ) + λ 2 D ( x ) 2 + (I-lambdaD^(')(x))^(-1)=I+lambdaD^(')(x)+lambda^(2)D^(')(x)^(2)+dots\left(I-\lambda D^{\prime}(x)\right)^{-1}=I+\lambda D^{\prime}(x)+\lambda^{2} D^{\prime}(x)^{2}+\ldots(IλD(x))1=I+λD(x)+λ2D(x)2+ Păvăloiu has considered the operator A ( x ) A ( x ) A(x)A(x)A(x) as being given by the first two terms of this expansion, obtaining the following iterates
(4) x k + 1 = x k ( I + λ D ( x k ) ) [ x k λ D ( x k ) y ] , k = 0 , 1 , , (4) x k + 1 = x k I + λ D x k x k λ D x k y , k = 0 , 1 , , {:(4)x_(k+1)=x_(k)-(I+lambdaD^(')(x_(k)))[x_(k)-lambda D(x_(k))-y]","quad k=0","1","dots",":}\begin{equation*} x_{k+1}=x_{k}-\left(I+\lambda D^{\prime}\left(x_{k}\right)\right)\left[x_{k}-\lambda D\left(x_{k}\right)-y\right], \quad k=0,1, \ldots, \tag{4} \end{equation*}(4)xk+1=xk(I+λD(xk))[xkλD(xk)y],k=0,1,,
and the following result.
Theorem 2. [6 If the mapping D D DDD, the initial approximation x 0 x 0 x_(0)x_{0}x0 and the real number r > 0 r > 0 r > 0r>0r>0 satisfy the following assumptions:
i. the mapping D D DDD admits Fréchet derivatives of order one and two for each x S = S ( x 0 , r ) x S = S x 0 , r x in S=S(x_(0),r)x \in S=S\left(x_{0}, r\right)xS=S(x0,r);
ii. D ( x ) b D ( x ) b ||D^(')(x)|| <= b\left\|D^{\prime}(x)\right\| \leq bD(x)b, for each x S x S x in Sx \in SxS;
iii. D ( x ) M / | λ | D ( x ) M / | λ | ||D^('')(x)|| <= M//|lambda|\left\|D^{\prime \prime}(x)\right\| \leq M /|\lambda|D(x)M/|λ|, for each x S x S x in Sx \in SxS;
iv. 2 M ρ 0 > 0 2 M ρ 0 > 0 2-Mrho_(0) > 02-M \rho_{0}>02Mρ0>0, where ρ 0 = x 0 λ D ( x 0 ) y ρ 0 = x 0 λ D x 0 y rho_(0)=||x_(0)-lambda D(x_(0))-y||\rho_{0}=\left\|x_{0}-\lambda D\left(x_{0}\right)-y\right\|ρ0=x0λD(x0)y;
v. ρ 0 ( 1 + | λ | b ) 1 d 0 r ρ 0 ( 1 + | λ | b ) 1 d 0 r (rho_(0)(1+|lambda|b))/(1-d_(0)) <= r\frac{\rho_{0}(1+|\lambda| b)}{1-d_{0}} \leq rρ0(1+|λ|b)1d0r, where d 0 = M ( 1 + | λ | b ) 2 2 ρ 0 + λ 2 b 2 d 0 = M ( 1 + | λ | b ) 2 2 ρ 0 + λ 2 b 2 d_(0)=M((1+|lambda|b)^(2))/(2)rho_(0)+lambda^(2)b^(2)d_{0}=M \frac{(1+|\lambda| b)^{2}}{2} \rho_{0}+\lambda^{2} b^{2}d0=M(1+|λ|b)22ρ0+λ2b2;
vi. | λ | 2 M ρ 0 b ( 2 + M ρ 0 ) | λ | 2 M ρ 0 b 2 + M ρ 0 |lambda| <= (2-Mrho_(0))/(b(2+Mrho_(0)))|\lambda| \leq \frac{2-M \rho_{0}}{b\left(2+M \rho_{0}\right)}|λ|2Mρ0b(2+Mρ0),
then the sequence given by (4) converges to a solution x x x^(**)x^{*}x of equation (1) and the following estimates hold:
x x k ( 1 + | λ | b ) d 0 k ρ 0 1 d 0 , k = 0 , 1 , x x k ( 1 + | λ | b ) d 0 k ρ 0 1 d 0 , k = 0 , 1 , ||x^(**)-x_(k)|| <= ((1+|lambda|b)d_(0)^(k)rho_(0))/(1-d_(0)),quad k=0,1,dots\left\|x^{*}-x_{k}\right\| \leq \frac{(1+|\lambda| b) d_{0}^{k} \rho_{0}}{1-d_{0}}, \quad k=0,1, \ldotsxxk(1+|λ|b)d0kρ01d0,k=0,1,
Remark 3. We note that the assumptions of the above results require the existence of the second derivative of D D DDD, and also that the smaller d 0 d 0 d_(0)d_{0}d0 (i.e., the smaller | λ | , b , M | λ | , b , M |lambda|,b,M|\lambda|, b, M|λ|,b,M and ρ 0 ρ 0 rho_(0)\rho_{0}ρ0 ), the faster is the convergence of sequence (4).

2. LOCAL CONVERGENCE

In order to analyze the local convergence of the considered iterates, we shall use the Ostrowski local attraction theorem, which offers sharp general conditions ensuring the local convergence. We shall consider for simplicity that X = R n X = R n X=R^(n)X=\mathbb{R}^{n}X=Rn, with ||*||\|\cdot\| an arbitrary given norm, though the results hold in Banach spaces (see, e.g., [5, NR 10.1-3.]).
Theorem 4 (Ostrowski local attraction theorem). [5, Th. 10.1.3] Suppose that G : Ω R n R n G : Ω R n R n G:Omega subR^(n)rarrR^(n)G: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}G:ΩRnRn has a fixed point x int ( Ω ) x int ( Ω ) x^(**)in int(Omega)x^{*} \in \operatorname{int}(\Omega)xint(Ω) and is differentiable at x x x^(**)x^{*}x. If the spectral radius of G ( x ) G x G^(')(x^(**))G^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)G(x) satisfies
ρ ( G ( x ) ) = σ < 1 , ρ G x = σ < 1 , rho(G^(')(x^(**)))=sigma < 1,\rho\left(G^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\right)=\sigma<1,ρ(G(x))=σ<1,
then x x x^(**)x^{*}x is a point of attraction of the successive approximations x k + 1 = G ( x k ) x k + 1 = G x k x_(k+1)=G(x_(k))x_{k+1}=G\left(x_{k}\right)xk+1=G(xk), k 0 k 0 k >= 0k \geq 0k0, i.e., there exists an open neighborhood V Ω V Ω V sube OmegaV \subseteq \OmegaVΩ of x x x^(**)x^{*}x such that x 0 V x 0 V AAx_(0)in V\forall x_{0} \in Vx0V, the successive approximations given above all lie in Ω Ω Omega\OmegaΩ and converge to x x x^(**)x^{*}x.
Remark 5. The classical book of Ortega and Rheinboldt also contains completions to this result (see [5, Ch. 10]), in the sense that the spectral radius σ σ sigma\sigmaσ yields the "worst" ( r r r-r-r )convergence factor among the sequences converging to the fixed point: when σ 0 σ 0 sigma!=0\sigma \neq 0σ0, the convergence of the (whole) process is not faster than linear (though, theoretically, there may exist sequences converging at least r r rrr-superlinearly), while when σ = 0 σ = 0 sigma=0\sigma=0σ=0, all the sequences converge at least r r rrr-superlinearly. This result was refined by us in [1], where we have shown that x k x q x k x q x_(k)rarrx^(**)qx_{k} \rightarrow x^{*} qxkxq-superlinearly iff G ( x ) G x G^(')(x^(**))G^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)G(x) has a zero eigenvalue and, starting from a certain step, x x k x x k x^(**)-x_(k)x^{*}-x_{k}xxk are corresponding eigenvectors. This implies that no q q qqq-superlinear convergence may occur when G ( x ) G x G^(')(x^(**))G^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)G(x) has no zero eigenvalue.
The above result can be applied to method (2) if we notice that the derivative of x A ( x ) F ( x ) x A ( x ) F ( x ) x-A(x)F(x)x-A(x) F(x)xA(x)F(x) has a simple form at the fixed point x x x^(**)x^{*}x, the following auxiliary result being similar to (Lemma) 10.2.1 in [5].
Lemma 6. Suppose that F : Ω R n R n F : Ω R n R n F:Omega subR^(n)rarrR^(n)F: \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}F:ΩRnRn is differentiable at a point x int ( Ω ) x int ( Ω ) x^(**)in int(Omega)x^{*} \in \operatorname{int}(\Omega)xint(Ω) for which F ( x ) = 0 F x = 0 F(x^(**))=0F\left(x^{*}\right)=0F(x)=0. Let A : Ω 0 L ( R n ) A : Ω 0 L R n A:Omega_(0)rarrL(R^(n))A: \Omega_{0} \rightarrow \mathcal{L}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right)A:Ω0L(Rn) be defined on an open neighborhood Ω 0 Ω Ω 0 Ω Omega_(0)sube Omega\Omega_{0} \subseteq \OmegaΩ0Ω of x x x^(**)x^{*}x and continuous at x x x^(**)x^{*}x. Then the mapping G : S R n G : S R n G:S rarrR^(n)G: S \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}G:SRn,
G ( x ) = x A ( x ) F ( x ) G ( x ) = x A ( x ) F ( x ) G(x)=x-A(x)F(x)G(x)=x-A(x) F(x)G(x)=xA(x)F(x)
is differentiable at x x x^(**)x^{*}x and
G ( x ) = I A ( x ) F ( x ) . G x = I A x F x . G^(')(x^(**))=I-A(x^(**))F^(')(x^(**)).G^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)=I-A\left(x^{*}\right) F^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right) .G(x)=IA(x)F(x).
Proof. The proof is elementary:
G ( x ) G ( x ) [ I A ( x ) F ( x ) ] ( x x ) = = ( A ( x ) A ( x ) ) F ( x ) + A ( x ) [ F ( x ) F ( x ) F ( x ) ( x x ) ] = o ( x x ) , as x x G ( x ) G x I A x F x x x = = A ( x ) A x F ( x ) + A x F ( x ) F x F x x x = o x x ,  as  x x {:[||G(x)-G(x^(**))-[I-A(x^(**))F^(')(x^(**))](x-x^(**))||=],[=||(A(x)-A(x^(**)))F(x)+A(x^(**))[F(x)-F(x^(**))-F^(')(x^(**))(x-x^(**))]||],[=o(||x-x^(**)||)","quad" as "x rarrx^(**)]:}\begin{aligned} & \left\|G(x)-G\left(x^{*}\right)-\left[I-A\left(x^{*}\right) F^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\right]\left(x-x^{*}\right)\right\|= \\ & =\left\|\left(A(x)-A\left(x^{*}\right)\right) F(x)+A\left(x^{*}\right)\left[F(x)-F\left(x^{*}\right)-F^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\left(x-x^{*}\right)\right]\right\| \\ & =o\left(\left\|x-x^{*}\right\|\right), \quad \text { as } x \rightarrow x^{*} \end{aligned}G(x)G(x)[IA(x)F(x)](xx)==(A(x)A(x))F(x)+A(x)[F(x)F(x)F(x)(xx)]=o(xx), as xx
Now we can state the main results of this note. First, consider iterations (2).
Theorem 7. Let D : R n R n , y R n , λ R , x D : R n R n , y R n , λ R , x D:R^(n)rarrR^(n),y inR^(n),lambda inR,x^(**)D: \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}, y \in \mathbb{R}^{n}, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}, x^{*}D:RnRn,yRn,λR,x a solution of F ( x ) := x λ D ( x ) y = 0 F ( x ) := x λ D ( x ) y = 0 F(x):=x-lambda D(x)-y=0F(x):= x-\lambda D(x)-y=0F(x):=xλD(x)y=0, and the mapping A A AAA is defined on an open neighborhood E E EEE of x , A : E L ( R n ) x , A : E L R n x^(**),A:E rarrL(R^(n))x^{*}, A: E \rightarrow \mathcal{L}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right)x,A:EL(Rn). If D D DDD is differentiable at x , A x , A x^(**),Ax^{*}, Ax,A is continuous at x x x^(**)x^{*}x and
ρ ( I A ( x ) ( I λ D ( x ) ) < 1 ρ I A x I λ D x < 1 rho(I-A(x^(**))(I-lambdaD^(')(x^(**))) < 1:}\rho\left(I-A\left(x^{*}\right)\left(I-\lambda D^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\right)<1\right.ρ(IA(x)(IλD(x))<1
then x x x^(**)x^{*}x is a point of attraction for the method (2).
The proof is an immediate application of Lemma 6 and Theorem 4.
The conditions are much simpler for the case of the second method.
Theorem 8. Let D : R n R n , y R n , λ R , x D : R n R n , y R n , λ R , x D:R^(n)rarrR^(n),y inR^(n),lambda inR,x^(**)D: \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}, y \in \mathbb{R}^{n}, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}, x^{*}D:RnRn,yRn,λR,x a solution of F ( x ) := x λ D ( x ) y = 0 F ( x ) := x λ D ( x ) y = 0 F(x):=x-lambda D(x)-y=0F(x):= x-\lambda D(x)-y=0F(x):=xλD(x)y=0. If the mapping D D DDD is differentiable on an open neighborhood of x x x^(**)x^{*}x, with D D D^(')D^{\prime}D continuous at x x x^(**)x^{*}x, and
| λ | ρ ( D ( x ) ) < 1 | λ | ρ D x < 1 |lambda|rho(D^(')(x^(**))) < 1|\lambda| \rho\left(D^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\right)<1|λ|ρ(D(x))<1
then x x x^(**)x^{*}x is a point of attraction for the method (4).
Proof. By Lemma 6 we get
G ( x ) = I ( I + λ D ( x ) ) ( I λ D ( x ) ) = λ 2 D ( x ) 2 , G x = I I + λ D x I λ D x = λ 2 D x 2 , G^(')(x^(**))=I-(I+lambdaD^(')(x^(**)))(I-lambdaD^(')(x^(**)))=lambda^(2)D^(')(x^(**))^(2),G^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)=I-\left(I+\lambda D^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\right)\left(I-\lambda D^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)\right)=\lambda^{2} D^{\prime}\left(x^{*}\right)^{2},G(x)=I(I+λD(x))(IλD(x))=λ2D(x)2,
whence, by Theorem 4, the conclusion follows.
The same observations as in Remark 5 apply.
