Newton’s method and its variants are among the most efficient methods known for solving systems of non-linear equations when the functions involved are continuously differentiable. Besides its practical applications, Newton’s method is also a powerful theoretical tool. Therefore, it has been studied and used extensively. One of the famous results on Newton’s method is the well-known Kantorovich...

The goal of this paper is to present a local convergence analysis of Newton’s method for approximating a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space setting. Using the gauge function theory and our new idea of restricted convergence regions we present an extended and unified convergence theory. Key–Words: Newton’s method, Banach space, semilocal convergence, gauge function, converg...

We remind of the history of the transportation (Kantorovich) metric and the Monge–Kantorovich problem. We also describe several little-known applications: the first one concerns the theory of decreasing sequences of partitions (tower of measures and iterated metric), the second one relates to Ornstein's theory of Bernoulli automorphisms (¯ d-metric), and the third one is the formulation of the ...

A semi-analytical approach to the elastic nonlinear stability analysis of rectangular plates is developed. Arbitrary boundary conditions and general out-of-plane and in-plane loads are considered. The geometrically nonlinear formulation for the elastic rectangular plate is derived using the thin plate theory with the nonlinear von Kármán strains and the variational multi-term extended Kantorovi...

We apply the Poincaré inequality to study the extended Kantorovich method that was used to construct a closed-form solution for two coupled partial differential equations with mixed boundary conditions.

The order of simultaneous approximation and Voronovskaja-type results with quantitative estimate for complex q-Kantorovich polynomials q > 0 attached to analytic functions on compact disks are obtained. In particular, it is proved that for functions analytic in {z ∈ C : |z| < R}, R > q, the rate of approximation by the q-Kantorovich operators q > 1 is of order q−n versus 1/n for the classical K...

This work concerns the optimal regulation of single-input-single-output nonminimum-phase nonlinear processes of relative order one. The problem of calculation of an ISE-optimal, statically equivalent, minimum-phase output for nonminimum-phase compensation is formulated using Hamilton-Jacobi theory and the normal form representation of the nonlinear system. A Newton-Kantorovich iteration is deve...
