On the superlinear convergence of the successive approximations method

Abstract

The Ostrowski theorem is a classical result which ensures the attraction of all the successive approximations xk+1 = G(xk) near a fixed point x*. Different conditions [ultimately on the magnitude of G′(x*)] provide lower bounds for the convergence order of the process as a whole.

In this paper, we consider only one such sequence and we characterize its high q-convergence orders in terms of some spectral elements of G′(x*); we obtain that the set of trajectories with high q-convergence orders is restricted to some affine subspaces, regardless of the nonlinearity of G.

We analyze also the stability of the successive approximations under perturbation assumptions.
