Abstract

In this study we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution of an operator equation in Banach space using Newton's method. The differentiability of the operator involved is not assumed, and we use Hölderian assumptions. We provide a semilocal convergence analysis based on a suitable point-based approximation. Our approach is justified by numerical examples where our results apply, whereas earlier ones cannot be applied in this way.
