On the Local Convergence of Two-Step Newton Type Method in Banach Spaces under Generalized Lipschitz Conditions.

The motive of this paper is to discuss the local convergence of a two-step Newton-type method of convergence rate three for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. It is assumed that the first order derivative of nonlinear operator satisfies the generalized Lipschitz i.e., L-average condition. Also, some results on convergence of the same method in Banach spaces are established under the assumption that the derivative of the operators satisfies the radius or center Lipschitz condition with a weak L-average particularly it is assumed that L is positive integrable function but not necessarily non-decreasing. Our new idea gives a tighter convergence analysis without new conditions. The proposed technique is useful in expanding the applicability of iterative methods. Useful examples justify the theoretical conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
