We approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation containing a non-differentiable operator in a Banach space setting using Newton's method. Sufficient conditions for the semilocal convergence of Newton's method in this case have been given by several authors using mainly increasing sequences [1]-[6]. Here, we use center as well as Lipschitz conditions and decreasing majorizing sequences to obtain new sufficient convergence conditions weaker than before in many interesting cases. Numerical examples where our results apply to solve equations but earlier ones cannot [2], [5], [6] are also provided in this study.

Using more precise majorizing sequences than before [6], [10], [11], [14] we provide a finer semilocal convergence analysis for a certain class of Euler-Halley type methods for approximating a solution of an equation in a Banach space setting.

We present a unified local and semilocal convergence analysis for secant-type methods in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. Our analysis includes the computation of the bounds on the limit points of the majorizing sequences involved. Under the same computational cost our semilocal convergence criteria can be weaker; the error bounds more precise and in the local case the convergence balls can be larger and the error bounds tighter than in earlier studies such as [1-3,7-14,16,20,21] at least for the cases of Newton's method and the secant method. Numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results obtained in this study.

Using more precise majorizing sequences we provide a finer convergence analysis than before [1], [7] of Newton's method in Riemannian manifolds with the following advantages: weaker hypotheses, finer error bounds on the distances involved and a more precise information on the location of the singularity of the vector field.

We present a new local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for Steffensen's method in order to locate fixed points of operators on a Banach space setting. Using more precise majorizing sequences we show under the same or less computational cost that our convergence criteria can be weaker than in earlier studies such as [1-13], [21, 22]. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

We revisit the study of finding solutions of equations containing a differentiable and a continuous term on a Banach space setting [1]-[5], [9]-[11]. Using more precise majorizing sequences than before [9]-[11], we provide a semilocal convergence analysis for the generalized Newton's method as well the generalized modified Newton's method. It turns out that under the same or even weaker hypotheses: finer error estimates on the distances involved, and an at least as precise information on the location of the solution can be obtained. The above benefits are obtained under the same computational cost.

We present a semilocal convergence analysis of a third order method for approximating a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space setting. Recently, this method was studied by Chun, Stanica and Neta. These authors extended earlier results by Kou, Li and others. Our convergence analysis extends the applicability of these methods under less computational cost and weaker convergence criteria. Numerical examples are also presented to show that the earlier results cannot apply to solve these equations.
