Abstract
We show that a new sufficient condition for the convergence with q-order two of the inexact Newton iterates may be obtained by considering the normwise backward error of the approximate steps and a result on perturbed Newton methods. This condition is in fact equivalent to the characterization given by Dembo, Eisenstat and Steihaug.

A NOTE ON THE QUADRATIC CONVERGENCE OF THE INEXACT NEWTON METHODS*
Abstract
We show that a new sufficient condition for the convergence with qq-order two of the inexact Newton iterates may be obtained by considering the normwise backward error of the approximate steps and a result on perturbed Newton methods.
This condition is in fact equivalent to the characterization given by Dembo, Eisenstat and Steihaug.
1. INTRODUCTION
Choose an initial approximation y_(0)in Dy_{0} \in D
For k=0,1,dotsk=0,1, \ldots until "convergence" do
Find s_(k)s_{k} such that F^(')(y_(k))s_(k)=-F(y_(k))+r_(k)F^{\prime}\left(y_{k}\right) s_{k}=-F\left(y_{k}\right)+r_{k}
Set y_(k+1)=y_(k)+s_(k)y_{k+1}=y_{k}+s_{k},
and it constitutes a classical model for the practical solving of nonlinear systems F(y)=0F(y)=0 by the Newton method, where F:D subeR^(n)rarrR^(n)F: D \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}. The error terms (the residuals) r_(k)r_{k} represent the amounts by which the approximate solutions s_(k)s_{k} fail to satisfy the exact linear systems F^(')(y_(k))s=-F(y_(k))F^{\prime}\left(y_{k}\right) s=-F\left(y_{k}\right).
- there exists y^(**)in Dy^{*} \in D such that F(y^(**))=0F\left(y^{*}\right)=0;
- the mapping FF is differentiable on a neighborhood of y^(**)y^{*}, with the derivative F^(')F^{\prime} Lipschitz continuous at y^(**)⊴^(1)y^{*} \unlhd^{1}
- the Jacobian F^(')(y^(**))F^{\prime}\left(y^{*}\right) is nonsingular.
Theorem 1. [9] Suppose that F obeys the standard assumptions and that for some initial approximation y_(0)in Dy_{0} \in D, the sequence (y_(k))_(k >= 0)\left(y_{k}\right)_{k \geq 0} given by the IN method converges to y^(**)y^{*}. Then its qq-convergence order is at least two if and only if ||r_(k)||=O(||F(y_(k))||^(2))\left\|r_{k}\right\|=\mathcal{O}\left(\left\|F\left(y_{k}\right)\right\|^{2}\right) as k rarr ook \rightarrow \infty, or, equivalently,
In the following section we shall show that the sufficient condition (1) may be expressed in an equivalent form.
2. MAIN RESULT
Pi( tilde(x))=min{epsi:(A+Delta_(A))( tilde(x))=b+Delta_(b),||Delta_(A)||_(F) <= epsi||E||_(F),||Delta_(b)||_(2) <= epsi||f||_(2)}\Pi(\tilde{x})=\min \left\{\varepsilon:\left(A+\Delta_{A}\right) \tilde{x}=b+\Delta_{b},\left\|\Delta_{A}\right\|_{F} \leq \varepsilon\|E\|_{F},\left\|\Delta_{b}\right\|_{2} \leq \varepsilon\|f\|_{2}\right\}, where the parameters E inR^(n xx n)E \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n} and f inR^(n)f \in \mathbb{R}^{n} are arbitrary, and ||*||_(F)\|\cdot\|_{F} denotes the Frobenius norm: ||Z||_(F)=(sum_(i,j=1,dots,n)z_(ij)^(2))^(1//2)\|Z\|_{F}=\left(\sum_{i, j=1, \ldots, n} z_{i j}^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}. The value of Pi( tilde(x))\Pi(\tilde{x}) is
Theorem 3. Suppose that FF obeys the standard assumptions and that for some initial approximation y_(0)in Dy_{0} \in D, the sequence (y_(k))_(k >= 0)\left(y_{k}\right)_{k \geq 0} given by the IN method converges to y^(**)y^{*}. If
Proof. For each kk, consider the normwise backward errors of the approximate steps s_(k)s_{k}, choosing the parameters EE and ff such that ||E||_(F)=||F(y_(k))||_(2)\|E\|_{F}=\left\|F\left(y_{k}\right)\right\|_{2} and ||f||_(2)=||F(y_(k))||_(2)^(2)\|f\|_{2}=\left\|F\left(y_{k}\right)\right\|_{2}^{2}. Corollary 2 and the inequality ||Z||_(2) <= ||Z||_(F)\|Z\|_{2} \leq\|Z\|_{F}, true for all Z inR^(n xx n)Z \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n} (cf., e.g., [11]), lead to the stated result, provided that the epsi\varepsilon 's are uniformly bounded. This condition is written as
Remarks. 1. Condition (2) is in fact equivalent to condition (1). Indeed, Theorem 3 shows that relation (2) implies the quadratic convergence. For the converse, assuming that the IN iterates converge quadratically, we notice that
2. It is easy to prove that the Euclidean norm from (2) may be replaced by an arbitrary norm on R^(n)\mathbb{R}^{n}, since all norms are equivalent on a finite dimensional normed space.
3. Condition (2) has been obtained in a natural fashion by considering the normwise backward errors of the approximate steps. One can also obtain it taking into account that under the standard assumptions, the sequences (y_(k)-y^(**))_(k >= 0)\left(y_{k}-y^{*}\right)_{k \geq 0} and (s_(k))_(k >= 0)\left(s_{k}\right)_{k \geq 0} converge quadratically to zero only at the same time, with lim_(k rarr oo)||y_(k)-y^(**)||//||y_(k+1)-y_(k)||=1\lim _{k \rightarrow \infty}\left\|y_{k}-y^{*}\right\| /\left\|y_{k+1}-y_{k}\right\|=1 (see [18]). The same situation appears concerning (y_(k)-y^(**))_(k >= 0)\left(y_{k}-y^{*}\right)_{k \geq 0} and (F(y_(k)))_(k >= 0)\left(F\left(y_{k}\right)\right)_{k \geq 0}, since the standard assumptions ensure that there exists alpha > 0\alpha>0 such that ||y-y^(**)||//alpha <= ||F(y)|| <= alpha||y-y^(**)||\left\|y-y^{*}\right\| / \alpha \leq\|F(y)\| \leq \alpha\left\|y-y^{*}\right\| when yy is sufficiently close to y^(**)y^{*} (see [9]).
