Introduction Researchers in computational sciences are faced with the problem of solving a variety of equations. A large number of problems are solved by ﬁnding the solutions of certain equations. For example, dynamic systems are mathematically modelled by diﬀerence or diﬀerential equations, and their solutions represent usually the states of the systems. For the sake of simplicity, assume that a time-invariant systems is driven by the equation x = f (x), where x is the state, then the equilibrium states are determined by solving the equations f (x) = 0. Similar equations are used in the case of discrete systems. The unknowns of engineering equations can be functions (diﬀerence, diﬀerential, integral equations), vectors (systems of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations), or real or complex numbers (single algebraic equations with single unknowns). Except special cases, the most commonly used solutions methods are iterative, when starting from one or several initial approximations a sequences is constructed, which converges to a solution of the equation. Iteration methods are applied also for solving optimization problems. In such cases the iteration sequences converge to an optimal solution of the problem in hand. since all of these methods have the same recursive structure, they can be introduced and discussed in a general framework. To complicate the matter further, many of these equations are nonlinear. However, all may be formulated in terms of operators mapping a linear space into another, the solutions being sought as points in the corresponding space. Consequently, computational methods that work in this general setting for the solution of equations apply to a large number of problems, and lead directly to the development of suitable computer programs to obtain accurate approximate solutions to equations in the appropriate space. This monograph is intended for researchers in computational sciences, and as a reference book for an advanced numerical-functional analysis or computer science course. The goal is to introduce these powerful concepts and techniques at the earliest possible stage. The reader is assumed to have had basic courses in numerical analysis, computer programming, computational linear algebra, and an introduction to real, complex, and functional analysis. We have divided the material into twelve chapters. Although the monograph is of a theoretical nature, with optimization and weakening of existing hypotheses considerations each chapter contains several new theoretical results and important vii

Introduction

applications in engineering, in dynamic economic systems, in input-output systems, in the solution of nonlinear and linear diﬀerential equations, and optimization problems. The applications appear in the form of Examples or Applications or Exercises or study cases or they are implied since our results improve earlier one that have already been applied in concrete problems. Sections have been written as independent of each other as possible. Hence the interested reader can go directly to a certain section and understand the material without having to go back and forth in the whole textbook to ﬁnd related material. There are four basic problems connected with iterative methods. Problem 1 Show that the iterates are well deﬁned. For Example, if the algorithm requires the evaluation of F at each xn , it has to be guaranteed that the iterates remain in the domain of F . It is, in general, impossible to ﬁnd the exact set of all initial data for which a given process is well deﬁned, and we restrict ourselves to giving conditions which guarantee that an iteration sequence is well deﬁned for certain speciﬁc initial guesses. Problem 2 Concerns the convergence of the sequences generated by a process and the question of whether their limit points are, in fact, solutions of the equation. There are several types of such convergence results. The ﬁrst, which we call a local convergence theorem, begins with the assumption that a particular solution x∗ exists, and then asserts that there is a neighborhood U of x∗ such that for all initial vectors in U the iterates generated by the process are well deﬁned and converge to x∗ . The second type of convergence theorem, which we call semilocal, does not require knowledge of the existence of a solution, but states that, starting from initial vectors for which certain-usually stringent-conditions are satisﬁed, convergence to some (generally nearby) solutions x∗ is guaranteed. Moreover, theorems of this type usually include computable (at least in principle) estimates for the error xn − x∗ , a possibility not aﬀorded by the local convergence theorems. Finally, the third and most elegant type of convergence result, the global theorem, asserts that starting anywhere in a linear space, or at least in a large part of it, convergence to a solution is assured. Problem 3 Concerns the economy of the entire operations, and, in particular, the question of how fast a given sequence will converge. Here, there are two approaches, which correspond to the local and semilocal convergence theorems. As mentioned above, the analysis which leads to the semilocal type of theorem frequently produces error estimates, and these, in turn, may sometimes be reinterpreted as estimates of the rate of convergence of the sequence. Unfortunately, however, these are usually overly pessimistic. The second approach deals with the behavior of the sequence {xn } when n is large, and hence when xn is near the solutions x∗ . This behavior may then be determined, to a ﬁrst approximation, by the properties of the iteration function near x∗ and leads to so-called asymptotic rates of convergence.

Problem 4 Concerns with how to best choose a method, algorithm, or software program to solve a speciﬁc type of problem and its descriptions of when a given algorithm or method succeeds or fails. We have included a variety of new results dealing with Problems 1–4. Results by other authors (or us) are either explicitely stated or implicitely when compared with the corresponding ones of ours or they are left as exercises This monograph is an outgrowth of research work undertaken by us and complements/updates earlier works of ours focusing on in depth treatment of convergence theory for iterative methods [7]–[100]. Such a comprehensive study of optimal iterative procedures appears to be needed and should beneﬁt not only those working in the ﬁeld but also those interest in, or in need of, information about speciﬁc results or techniques. We have endeavored to make the main text as self contained as possible, to prove all results in full detail and to include a number of exercises throughout the monograph. In order to make the study useful as a reference source, we have complemented each section with a set of ”Remarks” in which literature citations are given, other related results are discussed, and various possible extensions of the results of the text are indicated. For completion, the monograph ends with a comprehensive list of references and an appendix containing useful contemporary numerical algorithms. Because we believe our readers come from diverse backgrounds and have varied interests, we provide ”recommended reading” throughout the textbook. Often a long monograph summarizes knowledge in a ﬁeld. This monograph, however, may be viewed as a report on work in progress. We provide a foundation for a scientiﬁc ﬁeld that is rapidly changing. Therefore we list numerous conjectures and open problems as well as alternative models which need to be explored. In this monograph we do not attempt to cover all the aspects of what is commonly understood to be computational methods. Although we make reference, and brieﬂy study (e.g. homotopy methods), our main concern is restricted to certain nongeometrical computational methods. For a geometrical approach to computational methods we refer the reader to the excellent book by Krasnosel’skii and Zabrejko [214]. The monograph is organized as follows. Chapter 1: The essentials on linear spaces are provided. Chapter 2: Some results on monotone convergence are reported. Chapter 3: Stationary and nonstationary Mann and Ishikawa-type iterations are studied. Recent results of ours are also compared favourably with earlier ones. Chapters 4–9: Newton-type methods and their implications/applications are covered here. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem 4.2.4 is one of the most important tools in nonlinear analysis and in classical numerical analysis. This theorem has been successfully used by numerical analysts for obtaining optimal bounds for many iterative procedures. The original paper of Kantorovich [206] contains optimal a-priori bounds for the Newton’s method, albeit not in explicit form. Explicit forms of those a-priori bounds were obtained independently by Ostrowski [264] and Gragg and Tapia [170] (see [284] for the equivalence of the bounds).

Introduction

The paper of Gragg and Tapia [170] also contains sharp a-posteriori bounds for Newton’s method. By using diﬀerent techniques and/or diﬀerent a-posteriori information, the a-posteriori error bounds were reﬁned by other authors [6], [121], [141], [143], [209]–[212], [274], [284] and us [11]–[99]. Various extensions of the Kantorovich theorem have been used to obtain error bounds for Newton-like methods [16], [29], [34], [35], [48], [121], [274], [351], inexact Newton methods [42], [58], [359], the secant method [13], [21], [275], Halley’s method [41], [160], etc. A survey of such results can be found in [68], [99], [350]. The Newton-Kantorovich theorem has also been used for proving existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear equations arising in various ﬁelds. The spectrum of applications of this theorem is immense. One can sit in front of a computer and make a search for the ”Newton-Kantorovich theorem” and will ﬁnd hundreds if not thousands of works related/based on this theorem. Our list below is therefore very incomplete. However we mention such diverse problems as the chaotic behavior of maps [314], optimal shape design [220], nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problems [104], optimal control [172], nonlinear ﬁnite element [324], integral equations [4], [141], [160], ﬂow problems [226], nonlinear elliptic problems [249], semideﬁnite programming [251], LP methods [294], interior point methods [282], multiparameter singularly perturbed systems [245]. We also mention that this theorem has been extended for analyzing Newton’s method on manifolds [162], [265] (see also our section 8.7). The relation between the Kantorovich Theorem and other existence theorems for solutions of nonlinear equations like Moore and Miranda theorems have been investigated in [1], [369] (see also the improvements in our chapter 8, sections 8.1 and 8.2). The foundation of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem is the famous for its simplicity and clarity Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51). This condition is the suﬃcient hypothesis for the convergence of Newton’s method. However, it is common knowledge as numerical experiments indicate that the convergence of the Newton method can be obtained even if that the initial guess is such that this condition is violated. Therefore weakening this condition is of extreme importance in computational mathematics, since the trust region will be enlarged. Recently [92] we showed that the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis can always be replaced by weaker hypothesis (5.1.56) which doubles (at most, if l0 = 0) the application of this theorem. Note that the veriﬁcation of condition (5.1.56) requires the same information and computational cost as (4.2.51), since in practice the computation of Lipschitz constant l requires that of center Lipschitz constant l0 . Moreover the following advantages hold: semilocal case: ﬁner error bounds on the distances involved and an at least as precise information on the location of the solution; local case: ﬁner error bounds and a larger trust region. The following advantages carry over if our approach is extended to Newton-like methods (see Chapter 5).

Introduction

For all the above reasons it is worth it for somebody to revisit all existing results using the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis and replace it with our weaker condition (5.1.56). Such a task is obviously impossible to be undertaken by us and we leave it to the motivated readers to pick on speciﬁc problems mentioned (or not) above. Here we simply have attempted (Chapters 5–9) to provide usefull but by far a complete list of such applications/implications. We report on some results on the study of variational inequalities on Chapter 10. Chapters 11 and 12 deal with the convergence of point to set mappings and their applications. Finally in Chapter 13 we improve the mesh independence principle [145] and also provide a more eﬃcient conjugate gradient solver for the normal equations [194].

Chapter 1

Linear Spaces The basic background for solving equations is introduced here.

1.1

Linear Operators

Some mathematical operations have certain properties in common. These properties are given in the following definition. Definition 1.1.1 An operator T which maps a linear space X into a linear space Y over the same scalar field S is said to be additive if T (x + y) = T (x) + T (y),

for all x, y ∈ X,

and homogeneous if T (sx) = sT (x),

for all x ∈ X, s ∈ S.

An operator that is additive and homogeneous is called a linear operator. Many examples of linear operators exist. Example 1.1.1 Define an operator T from a linear space X into it self by T (x) = sx, s ∈ S. Then T is a linear operator. Example 1.1.2 The operator D = given by D (x) =

d dt

mapping X = C 1 [0, 1] into Y = C[0, 1]

dx = y (t) , 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, dt

is linear. 1

1. Linear Spaces

If X and Y are linear spaces over the same scalar field S, then the set L(X, Y ) containing all linear operators from X into Y is a linear space over S if addition is defined by (T1 + T2 )(x) = T1 (x) + T2 (x),

for all x ∈ X,

and scalar multiplication by (sT )(x) = s(T (x)),

for all x ∈ X, s ∈ S.

We may also consider linear operators B mapping X into L(X, Y ). For an x ∈ X we have B(x) = T, a linear operator from X into Y . Hence, we have B(x1 , x2 ) = (B(x1 ))(x2 ) = y ∈ Y. B is called a bilinear operator from X into Y . The linear operators B from X into L(X, Y ) form a linear space L(X, L(X, Y )). This process can be repeated to generate j-linear operators (j > 1 an integer). Definition 1.1.2 A linear operator mapping a linear space X into its scalar S is called a linear functional in X. Definition 1.1.3 An operator Q mapping a linear space X into a linear space Y is said to be nonlinear if it is not a linear operator from X into Y .

1.2

Continuous Linear Operators

Some metric concepts of importance are introduced here. Definition 1.2.1 An operator F from a Banach space X into a Banach space Y is continuous at x = x∗ if lim kxn − x∗ kX = 0 =⇒ lim kF (xn ) − F (x∗ )kY = 0

n→∞

Theorem 1.2.2 If a linear operator T from a Banach space X into a Banach space Y is continuous at x∗ = 0, then it is continuous at every point x of space X. Proof. We have T (0) = 0, and from limn→∞ kxn k = 0 we get limn→∞ kT (xn )k = 0. If sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) converges to x∗ in X, by setting yn = xn − x∗ we obtain limn→∞ kyn k = 0. By hypothesis this implies that lim kT (xn )k = lim kT (xn − x∗ )k = lim kT (xn ) − T (x∗ )k = 0.

Definition 1.2.3 An operator F from a Banach space X into a Banach space Y is bounded on the set A in X if there exists a constant c < ∞ such that kF (x)k ≤ c kxk ,

for all x ∈ A.

The greatest lower bound (infimum) of numbers c satisfying the above inequality is called the bound of F on A. An operator which is bounded on a ball (open) U (z, r) = {x ∈ X | kx − zk < r} is continuous at z. It turns out that for linear operators the converse is also true. Theorem 1.2.4 A continuous linear operator T from a Banach space X into a Banach space Y is bounded on X. Proof. By the continuity of T there exists ε > 0 such that kT (z)k < 1, if kzk < ε. For 0 6= z ∈ X kT (z)k ≤

1 ε

kzk ,

(1.2.1)

ε , and kT (cz)k = |c| · kT (z)k < 1. Letting c = ε−1 in since kczk < ε for |c| < kzk (1.2.1), we conclude that operator T is bounded on X. The bound on X of a linear operator T denoted by kT kX or simply kT k is called the norm of T . As in Theorem 1.2.4 we get

kT k = sup kT (x)k.

(1.2.2)

kxk=1

Hence, for any bounded linear operator T kT (x)k ≤ kT k · kxk,

for all x ∈ X.

(1.2.3)

From now on, L(X, Y ) denotes the set of all bounded linear operators from a Banach space X into another Banach space Y . It also follows immediately that L(X, Y ) is a linear space if equipped with the rules of addition and scalar multiplication introduced in Section 1.1. The proof of the following result is left as an exercise (see also [129]). Theorem 1.2.5 The set L(X, Y ) is a Banach space for the norm (1.2.2).

1.3

Equations

In a Banach space X solving a linear equation can be stated as follows: given a bounded linear operator T mapping X into itself and some y ∈ X, find an x ∈ X such that T (x) = y. The point x (if it exists) is called a solution of Equation (1.3.1).

Definition 1.3.1 If T is a bounded linear operator in X and a bounded linear operator T1 exists such that T1 T = T T1 = I,

(1.3.2)

where I is the identity operator in X (i.e., I(x) = x for all x ∈ X), then T1 is called the inverse of T and we write T1 = T −1 . That is, T −1 T = T T −1 = I.

(1.3.3)

If T −1 exists, then Equation (1.3.1) has the unique solution x = T −1 (y).

(1.3.4)

The proof of the following result is left as an exercise (see also [147], [211], [214]). Theorem 1.3.2 (Banach Lemma on Invertible Operators). If T is a bounded linear operator in X, T −1 exists if and only if there is a bounded linear operator P in X such that P −1 exists and kI − P T k < 1.

Based on Theorem 1.3.2 we can immediately introduce a computational theory for Equation (1.3.1) composed by three factors: (A) Existence and Uniqueness. Under the hypotheses of Theorem 1.3.2 Equation (1.3.1) has a unique solution x∗ . (B) Approximation. The iteration xn+1 = P (y) + (I − P T )(xn ) (n ≥ 0)

(1.3.8)

gives a sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) of successive approximations, which converges to x∗ for any initial guess x0 ∈ X. (C) Error Bounds. Clearly the speed of convergence of iteration {xn } (n ≥ 0) to x∗ is governed by the estimate: kxn − x∗ k ≤

The Inverse of a Linear Operator

Let T be a bounded linear operator in X. One way to obtain an approximate inverse is to make use of an operator sufficiently close to T . Theorem 1.4.1 If T is a bounded linear operator in X, T −1 exists if and only if there is a bounded linear operator P1 in X such that P1−1 exists, and

kP1 − T k ≤ P1−1 . (1.4.1) If T −1 exists, then T −1 =

Proof. Let P = P1−1 in Theorem 1.3.2 and note that by (1.4.1)

I − P −1 T = P −1 (P1 − T ) ≤ P −1 · kP1 − T k < 1. 1 1 1

(1.4.2)

(1.4.3)

(1.4.4)

That is, (1.3.5) is satisfied. The bounds (1.4.3) follow from (1.3.7) and (1.4.4). That proves the sufficiency. The necessity is proved by setting P1 = T , if T −1 exists. The following result is equivalent to Theorem 1.3.2.

Theorem 1.4.2 A bounded linear operator T in a Banach space X has an inverse T −1 if and only if linear operators P , P −1 exist such that the series ∞ X

(I − P T ) P

(1.4.5)

Proof. If series (1.4.5) converges, then it converges to T −1 (see Theorem 1.3.2). The existence of P , P −1 and the convergence of series (1.4.5) is again established as in Theorem 1.3.2, by taking P = T −1 , when it exists. Definition 1.4.3 A linear operator N in a Banach space X is said to be nilpotent if N m = 0, for some positive integer m.

Theorem 1.4.4 A bounded linear operator T in a Banach space X has an inverse T −1 and only if there exist linear operators P , P −1 such that I − P T is nilpotent. Proof. If P , P −1 exists and I − P T is nilpotent, then series ∞ X

Fr´ echet Derivatives

The computational techniques to be considered later make use of the derivative in the sense of Fr´echet [211], [212], [264]. Definition 1.5.1 Let F be an operator mapping a Banach space X into a Banach space Y . If there exists a bounded linear operator L from X into Y such that lim

k∆xk→0

kF (x0 + ∆x) − F (x0 ) − L (∆x)k = 0, k∆xk

(1.5.1)

then P is said to be Fr´echet differentiable at x0 , and the bounded linear operator P ′ (x0 ) = L

(1.5.2)

is called the first Fr´echet-derivative of F at x0 . The limit in (1.5.1) is supposed to hold independently of the way that ∆x approaches 0. Moreover, the Fr´echet differential δF (x0 , ∆x) = F ′ (x0 ) ∆x

(1.5.3)

is an arbitrary close approximation to the difference F (x0 + ∆x) − F (x0 ) relative to k∆xk, for k∆xk small. If F1 and F2 are differentiable at x0 , then (F1 + F2 )′ (x0 ) = F1′ (x0 ) + F2′ (x0 ).

(1.5.4)

Moreover, if F2 is an operator from a Banach space X into a Banach space Z, and F1 is an operator from Z into a Banach space Y , their composition F1 ◦F2 is defined by (F1 ◦ F2 )(x) = F1 (F2 (x)),

for all x ∈ X.

(1.5.5)

7

1.5. Fr´echet Derivatives

It follows from Definition 1.5.1 that F1 ◦ F2 is differentiable at x0 if F2 is differentiable at x0 and F1 is differentiable at F2 (x0 ) of Z, with (chain rule): (F1 ◦ F2 )′ (x0 ) = F1′ (F2 (x0 ))F2′ (x0 ).

(1.5.6)

In order to differentiate an operator F we write: F (x0 + ∆x) − F (x0 ) = L(x0 , ∆x)∆x + η(x0 , ∆x),

(1.5.7)

where L(x0 , ∆x) is a bounded linear operator for given x0 , ∆x with lim

k∆xk→0

L(x0 , ∆x) = L,

(1.5.8)

and kη(x0 , ∆x)k = 0. k∆xk k∆xk→0 lim

(1.5.9)

Estimates (1.5.8) and (1.5.9) give lim

k∆xk→0

L(x0 , ∆x) = F ′ (x0 ).

(1.5.10)

If L(x0 , ∆x) is a continuous function of ∆x in some ball U (0, R) (R > 0), then L(x0 , 0) = F ′ (x0 ).

(1.5.11)

We need the definition of a mosaic: Higher-order derivatives can be defined by induction: Definition 1.5.2 If F is (m − 1)-times Fr´echet-differentiable (m ≥ 2 an integer), and an m-linear operator A from X into Y exists such that

(m−1)

F (x0 + ∆x) − F (m−1) (x0 ) − A (∆x) lim = 0, (1.5.12) k∆xk→0 k∆xk then A is called the m-Fr´echet-derivative of F at x0 , and A = F (m) (x0 )

(1.5.13)

Higher partial derivatives in product spaces can be defined as follows: Define Xij = L(Xj , Xi ),

(1.5.14)

where X1 , X2 , . . . are Banach spaces and L(Xj , Xi ) is the space of bounded linear operators from Xj into Xi . The elements of Xij are denoted by Lij , etc. Similarly, Xijm = L(Xm , Xij ) = L(Xm , L(Xj , Xi ))

denotes the space of bounded bilinear operators from Xk into Xij . Finally, we write Xij1 j2 ···jm = L Xjk , Xij1 j2 ···jm−1 , (1.5.16)

which denotes the space of bounded linear operators from Xjm into Xij1 j2 ···jm−1 . The elements A = Aij1 j2 ···jm of Xij1 j2 ···jm are a generalization of m-linear operators [10], [54]. Consider an operator Fi from space X=

into Xi , and that Fi has partial derivatives of orders 1, 2, . . . , m − 1 in some ball U (x0 , R), where R > 0 and (0) (0) (0) x0 = xj1 , xj2 , . . . , xjn ∈ X. (1.5.18) For simplicity and without loss of generality we renumber the original spaces so that j1 = 1, j2 = 2, . . . , jn = n.

(1.5.19)

Hence, we write (0)

(0)

x0 = (x1 , x2 , . . . , x(0) n ).

(1.5.20)

A partial derivative of order (m − 1) of Fi at x0 is an operator Aiq1 q2 ···qm−1 =

∂ (m−1) Fi (x0 ) ∂xq1 ∂xq2 · · · ∂xqm−1

(1.5.21)

(in Xiq1 q2 ···qm−1 ) where 1 ≤ q1 , q2 , . . . , qm−1 ≤ n.

(1.5.22)

Let P (Xqm ) denote the operator from Xqm into Xiq1 q2 ···qm−1 obtained from (1.5.21) by letting (0)

xj = xj ,

j 6= qm ,

(1.5.23)

for some qm , 1 ≤ qm ≤ n. Moreover, if P ′ (x(0) qm ) =

∂ m Fi (x0 ) ∂ ∂ m−1 Fi (x0 ) · = , ∂xqm ∂xq1 ∂xq2 · · · ∂xqm−1 ∂xq1 · · · ∂xqm

(1.5.24)

exists, it will be called the partial Fr´echet-derivative of order m of Fi with respect to xq1 , . . . , xqm at x0 .

1.6. Integration

Furthermore, if Fi is Fr´echet-differentiable m times at x0 , then ∂ m Fi (x0 ) ∂ m Fi (x0 ) xq1 · · · xqm = xs · · · xsm ∂xq1 · · · ∂xqm ∂xs1 ∂xs2 · · · ∂xsm 1

(1.5.25)

for any permutation s1 , s2 , . . . , sm of integers q1 , q2 , . . . , qm and any choice of points xq1 , . . . , xqm , from Xq1 , . . . , Xqm respectively. Hence, if F = (F1 , . . . , Ft ) is an operator from X = X1 × X2 × · · · × Xn into Y = Y1 × Y2 × · · · × Yt , then ∂ m Fi (m) (x0 ) = (1.5.26) F ∂xj1 · · · ∂xjm x=x0 i = 1, 2, . . . , t, j1 , j2 , . . . , jm = 1, 2, . . . , n, is called the m-Fr´echet derivative of F at (0) (0) (0) x0 = (x1 , x2 , . . . , xn ).

2.1

Partially Ordered Topological Spaces

Let X be a linear space. We introduce the following definition: Definition 2.1.1 a partially ordered topological linear space (POTL-space) is a locally convex topological linear space X which has a closed proper convex cone. A proper convex cone is a subset K such that K + K ⊂ K, αK ⊂ K for α > 0, and K ∩ (−K) = {0} . Thus the order relation ≤, defined by x ≤ y if and only if y − x ∈ K, gives a partial ordering which is compatible with the linear structure of the space. The cone K which defines the ordering is called the positive cone since K = {x ∈ X | x ≥ 0} . The fact that K is closed implies also that intervals, [a, b] = {z ∈ X | a ≤ z ≤ b}, are closed sets. Example 2.1.1 Some simple examples of POTL-spaces are: (1) X = E n , n-dimensional Euclidean space, with K = {(x1 , x2 , ..., xn ) ∈ E n | xi ≥ 0, i = 1, 2, ..., n} ; (2) X = E n with K = {(x1 , x2 , ..., xn ) ∈ E n | xi ≥ 0, i = 1, 2, ..., n − 1, xn = 0} ; 17

(3) X = C n [0, 1], continuous functions, maximum norm topology, pointwise ordering; (4) X = C n [0, 1], n−times continuously differentiable functions with kf k =

max f (K) (t) , and pointwise ordering;

(5) C = Lp [0, 1] , 0 ≤ p ≤ ∞ usual topology, K = {f ∈ Lp [0, 1] | f (t) ≤ 0 a.e.} . Remark 2.1.1 Using the above examples, it is easy to see that the closedness of the positive cone is not, in general, a strong enough connection between the ordering and the topology. Consider, for example, the following properties of sequences of real numbers: (1) x1 ≤ x2 ≤ · · · ≤ x∗ , and sup {xn } x∗ implies lim xn = x∗ ; n→∞

(2) lim xn = 0 implies that there exists a sequence {yn } with y1 ≥ y2 ≥ · · · ≥ 0, n→∞

inf {yn } = 0 and −yn ≤ xn ≤ yn ;

(3) 0 ≤ xn ≤ yn , and lim yn = 0 imply lim xn = 0. n→∞

n→∞

Unfortunately, these statements are not trues for all POTL-spaces: (a) In X = C [0, 1] let xn (t) = −tn . Then x1 ≤ x2 ≤ · · · ≤ 0, and sup {xn } = 0, but kxn k = 1 for all n, so lim xn does not exist. Hence (1) does not hold. n→∞

1 (b) In X = L1 [0, 1] let xn (t) = n for n+1 ≤ t ≤ n1 and zero elsewhere. Then lim kxn k = 0 but clearly property (2) does not hold. n→∞

n ˇ n ≤ yn , and lim yn = 0, (c) In X = C 1 [0, 1] let xn (t) = tn , yn (t) = n1 . then 0Sx n→∞ tn n−1 = 1 + 1 > 1; hence xn does not converge but kxn k = max n + max t n to zero.

We will now devote a brief discussion of certain types of POTL spaces in which some of the above statements are true.

Definition 2.1.2 A POTL-space is called regular if every order-bounded increasing sequence has a limit. Remark 2.1.2 Examples of regular POTL-spaces are E n and Lp , 0 ≤ p ≤ ∞, where as C [0, 1] , C n [0, 1] and L∞ [0, 1] are not regular, as was shown in (a) of the above remark. If {xn } n ≥ 0 is a monotone increasing sequence and lim xn = x∗ n→∞ exists, then for any k0 , n ≥ k0 implies xn ≥ xk0 . Hence x∗ = lim xn ≥ xk0 , i.e., n→∞

x∗ is an upper bound on {xn } n = 0. Moreover, if y is any other upper bound, then xn ≤ y, and hence x∗ = limn→∞ xn ≤ y, i.e., x∗ = sup {xn } . This shows that in any POTL-space, the closedness of the positive cone guarantees that, if a monotone increasing sequence has a limit, then it is also a supremum. In a regular space, the converse of this is true; i.e., if a monotone increasing sequence has a supremum, then it also has a limit. It is important to note that the definition of regularity involves both an order concept (monotone boundedness) and a topological concept (limit). Definition 2.1.3 A POTL-space is called normal if, given a local base U for the topology, there exists a positive number η so that if 0 ≤ x ∈ V ∈ U then [0, x] ⊆ η U . Remark 2.1.3 If the topology of a POTL-space is given by a norm then this space is called a partially ordered normed space (PON)-space. If a PON-space is complete with respect to its topology then it is called a partially ordered Banach space (POB)space. According to Definition 2.1.3. A PON-space is normal if and only if there exists a positive number α such that kxk ≤ α kyk

for all

x, y ∈ X

with

0 ≤ x ≤ y.

Let us note that any regular POB-space is normal. The converse is not true. For example, the space C [0, 1] , ordered by the cone of nonnegative functions, is normal but is not regular. All finite dimensional POTL-spaces are both normal and regular. Remark 2.1.4 Let us now define some special types of operators acting between two POTL-spaces. First we introduce some notation if X and Y are two linear spaces then we denote by (X, Y ) the set of all operators from X into Y and by L (X, Y ) the set of all linear operators from X into Y. If X and Y are topological linear spaces then we denote by LB (X, Y ) the set of all continuous linear operators from X into Y . For simplicity the spaces L (X, X) and LB (X, X) will be denoted by L (X) and LB (X) . Now let X and Y be two POTL-spaces and consider an operator G ∈ (X, Y ). G is called isotone (resp. antitone) if x ≥ y implies G (x) ≤ G (y) (resp. G (x) ≤ G (y)). G is called nonnegative if x ≥ 0 implies G (x) ≥ 0. For linear operators the nonnegativity is clearly equivalent with the isotony. Also, a linear operator is inverse nonnegative if and only if it is invertible and its inverse is nonnegative. If G is a nonnegative operator then we write G ≥ 0. If G and H are two operators from X into Y such that H − G is nonnegative then we write G ≤ H. If Z is a linear space then we denote by I = Iz the identity operator in Z (i.e., I (x) = x for all x ∈ Z). If Z is a POTL-space then we have obviously I ≥ 0. Suppose that X and Y are two POTL-spaces and consider the operators T ∈ L (X, Y ) and S ∈ L (Y, X). If ST ≤ Ix (resp. ST ≥ Ix ) then S is called a left subinverse (resp. superinverse) of T and T is called a right sub-inverse (resp. superinverse) of S. We say that S is a subinverse of T is S is a left-as a right subinverse of T .

We finally end this section by noting that for the theory of partially ordered linear spaces the reader may consult M.A. Krasnosel’skii [210]–[213], Vandergraft [332] or Argyros and Szidarovszky [99].

2.2

Divided Differences in a Linear Space

The concept of a divided difference of a nonlinear operator generalizes the usual notion of a divided difference of a scalar function in the same way in which the Fr´echet-derivative generalizes the notion of a derivative of a function. Definition 2.2.1 Let F be a nonlinear operator defined on a subset D of a linear space X with values in a linear space Y , i.e., F ∈ (D, Y ) and let x, y be two points of D. A linear operator from X into Y , denoted [x, y] , which satisfies the condition [x, y] (x − y) = F (x) − F (y)

(2.2.1)

is called a divided difference of F at the points x and y. Remark 2.2.1 If X and Y are topological linear spaces then we shall always assume the continuity of the linear operator [x, y]. (Generally, [x, y] ∈ L (X, Y ) if X, Y are POTL-spaces then [x, y] ∈ LB (X, Y )). Obviously, condition (2.2.1) does not uniquely determine the divided difference, with the exception of the case when X is one-dimensional. An operator [·, ·] : D × D → L (X, Y ) satisfying (2.2.1) is called a divided difference of F on D. If we fix the first variable, we get an operator

x0 , · : D → L (X, Y ) .

(2.2.2)

Let x1 , x2 be two points of D. A divided difference of the operator (2.2.2) at the points x1 , x2 will be called a divideddifferenceof the second order of F at the points x0 , x1 , x2 and will be denoted by x0 , x1 , x2 . We have by definition

x0 , x1 , x2

x1 − x2 = x0 , x1 − x0 , x2 .

(2.2.3)

Obviously, x0 , x1 , x2 ∈ L (X, L (X, Y )) . Let us now state a well known result due to Kantorovich concerning the location of fixed points which will be used extensively later. Theorem 2.2.2 Let X be a regular POTL-space and let x, y be two points of X such that x ≤ y. If H : [x, y] → X is a continuous isotone operator having the property that x ≤ H (x) and y ≥ H (y) , then there exists a point z ∈ [x, y] such that H (z) = z.

Divided Difference in a Banach Space

In this section we will assume that X and Y are Banach spaces. Accordingly we shall have [x, y] ∈ LB (X, Y ) , [x, y, z] ∈ LB (X, LB (X, Y )) . As we will see in later chapters, most convergence theorems in a Banach space require that the divided differences of F satisfy Lipschitz conditions of the form: k[x, y] − [x, z]k ≤ c0 ky − zk

k[y, x] − [z, x]k ≤ c1 ky − zk k[x, y, z] − [u, y, z]k ≤ c2 kx − yk

(2.3.1) for all x, y, z, u ∈ D.

(2.3.2) (2.3.3)

It is a simple exercise to show that if [·, ·] is a divided difference of F satisfying (2.3.1) or (2.3.2) then F is Fr´echet differentiable on D and we have F ′ (x) = [x, x]

for all x ∈ D.

(2.3.4)

Moreover, if (2.3.1) and (2.3.2) are both satisfied then the Fr´echet derivative F ′ is Lipschitz continuous on D with Lipschitz constant I = c0 + c1 . At the end of this section we shall give an example of divided differences of the first and of the second order in the finite dimensional case. We shall consider the space Rq equipped with the Chebysheff norm which is given by kxk = max {|xi | ∈ R|1 ≤ I ≤ q}

for x = (x1 , x2 , ..., xq ) ∈ Rq .

(2.3.5)

It follows that the norm of a linear operator L ∈ LB (Rq ) represented by the matrix with entries Iij is given by   q X  kLk = max |Iij | | |1 ≤ i ≤ q . (2.3.6)   j=1

We cannot give a formula for the norm of a bilinear operator. However, if B is a bilinear operator with entries bijk then we have the estimate   q X q  X |bijk | |1 ≤ i ≤ q . (2.3.7) kBk ≤ max   j=1 k=1

Let U be an open ball of Rq and let F be an operator defined on U with values in Rq . We denote by f1 , ..., fq the components of F . For each x ∈ U we have F (x) = (f1 (x) , ..., fq (x))T .

(2.3.8)

Moreover, we introduce the notation Dj fi (x) =

∂f (x) , ∂xj

Dkj fi (x) =

∂ 2 fi (x) . ∂xj ∂xk

(2.3.9)

22

2. Monotone convergence Let x, y be two points of U and let us denote by [x, y] the matrix with entries [x, y]ij =

1 xj −yj

(fi (x1 , ..., xj , yj+1 , ..., yq ) − fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , yj , ..., yq )) . (2.3.10)

The linear operator [x, y] ∈ LB (Rq ) defined in this way obviously satisfies condition (2.2.1). If the partial derivatives Dj fi satisfy some Lipschitz conditions of the form |Dj fi (x1 , ..., xk + t, ..., xq ) − Dj fi (x1 , ..., xk , ..., xq )| ≤ pijk |t| then condition (2.3.1) and (2.3.2) will be satisfied with Pq 1 Pq i i p + p c0 = max |1 ≤ i ≤ q k=j+1 jk 2 j=1 jj and

c1 = max

Pj−1 i 1 Pq i p + p |1 ≤ i ≤ q . k=1 jk 2 j=1 jj

We shall prove (2.3.1) only since (2.3.2) can be proved similarly. Let x, y, z be three points of U . We shall have in turn Pq n [x, y]ij − [x, z] = k=1 [x, (y1 , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )]ij o − [x (y1 , ..., yk−1 , zk , ..., zq )]ij .

(2.3.11)

(2.3.12)

(2.3.13)

(2.3.14)

by (2.3.10). If k ≤ j then we have

[x, (y1 , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )]ij − [x, (y1 , ..., yk−1 , zk , ..., zq )]ij = 1 {fi (x1 , ..., xj , zj+1 , ..., zq ) − fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , zj , ..., zq )} = xj −z j 1 − xj −zj {fi (x1 , ..., xj , zj+1 , ..., zq ) − fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , zj , ..., zq )} = 0. For k = j we have h i [x, (y1 , ..., yj , zj+1 , ..., zq )]ij − x, (y1 , ..., yj−1 , zj , ..., zq )ij = 1 = xj −y {fi (x1 , ..., xj , zj+1 , ..., zq ) − fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , yi , zj+1 , ..., zq )} j 1 − xj −y {f (x , ..., x , z , ..., z ) − f (x , ..., x , z , ..., z )} i 1 j j+1 q i 1 j−1 j q j Z 1 = {Dj fi (x1 , ..., xj , yj + t (xj − yj ) , zj+1 , ..., zq ) 0

23

(by (2.3.11)). Finally for k > j we have using (2.3.10) and (2.3.14) again [x, (y1 , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )]ij − [x, (y1 , ..., yk−1 , zk , ..., zq )]ij = 1 = xj −y {fi (x1 , ..., xj , yj+1 , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq ) j − fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , yj , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )

−fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , yj + t (xj − yj ) , yj+1 , ..., yk−1 , zk , ..., zq )} dt|

By adding all the above we get q 1 X i y] − [x, z] ≤ |y − z | p + |yk − zk | pijk [x, ij j j jj ij 2 k=j+1    q q  1 X X pijj + pijk  . ≤ ky − zk  2 j=1 k=j+1

Consequently condition (2.3.1) is satisfied with c0 given by (2.3.12). If each fj has continuous second order partial derivatives which are bounded on U we have pijk = sup {|Djk fi (x)| |x ∈ U } . In this case pijk = pikj so that c0 = c1 . Moreover, consider again three points x, y, z of U . Similarly with (2.3.14) the second divided difference of F at x, y, z is the bilinear operators defined by [x, y, z]ijk =

1 yk −zk

n o [x, (y1 , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )]ij − [x, (y1 , ..., yk−1 , zk , ..., zq )]ij .

(2.3.15)

It is easy to see as before that [x, y, z]ijk = 0 for k < j. For k = j we have [x, y, z]ijj = [xj , yj , zj ]t fi (x1 , ..., xi−1 , t, zj+1 , ..., zq )

(2.3.16)

where the right hand side of (2.3.16) represents the divided difference of fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , t, zj+1 , ..., zq ) as a function of t, at the points xj , yj , zj . Using Genocchi’s

Hence, for k > j we obtain [x, y, z]ijk = =

{fi (x1 , ..., xj , yj+1 , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )

− fi (x1 , ..., xj , xj+1 , ..., yk−1 , zk , ..., zq ) − fi (x1 , ..., xj−1 , yj , ..., yk , zk+1 , ..., zq )

We now want to show that if ij |Dkj fi (v1 , ..., vm + t, ..., vq ) − Dkj fi (v1 , ..., vm , ...vq )| ≤ qkm |t|

for all v = (v1 , ..., vq ) ∈ U, 1 ≤ i, j, k, m ≤ q,

(2.3.19)

then the divided difference of F of the second order defined by (2.3.15) satisfies condition (2.3.3) with the constant c2 = max

If m = j the terms in (2.3.21) vanish so that using (2.3.18) and (2.3.19) we deduce that for k > j [x, y, z]ijk − [u, y, z]ijk = Z 1Z 1 Pj−1 = m=1 {Dkj fi (x1 , ..., xm , um+1 , ..., uj−1 , yj + s (xj − yj ) , 0

Finally using the estimate (2.3.7) of the norm of a bilinear operator, we deduce that condition (2.3.3) holds with c2 given by (2.3.20).

2.4

Divided Differences and Monotone Convergence

In this section we make an introduction to the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x∗ of the nonlinear operator equation F (x) = 0, in a POTL-space X. In particular, consider an operator F : D ⊆ X → Y where X is a POTL-space

26

2. Monotone convergence

with values in a POTL-space Y . Let x0 , y0 , y−1 be three points of D such that x0 ≤ y0 ≤ y−1 ,

[x0 , y−1 ] ,

and denote D1 = (x, y) ∈ X 2 | x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ y0 , D2 = (y, y−1 ) ∈ X 2 | x0 ≤ u ≤ y0 ,

D3 = D1 ∪ D2 .

(2.4.1)

Assume there exist operators A0 : D3 → LB (X, Y ) , A : D1 → L (X, Y ) such that: (a) F (y) − F (x) ≤ A0 (w, z) (y − x) f orall (x, y) , (y, w) ∈ D1 , (w, z) ∈ D3 ; (2.4.2) (b) the linear operator A0 (u, v) has a continuous nonsingular nonnegative left subinverse; (c) F (y) − F (x) ≥ A (x, y) (y − x)

for all

(x, y) ∈ D1 ;

(2.4.3)

(d) the linear operator A (x, y) has a nonegative left superinverse for each (x, y) ∈ D1 F (y) − F (x) ≤ A0 (y, z) (y − x)

for all x, y ∈ D1 , (y, z) ∈ D3 . (2.4.4)

Moreover, let us define approximations F (yn ) + A0 (yn , yn−1 ) (yn+1 − yn ) = 0 F (xn ) + A0 (yn , yn−1 ) (xn+1 − xn ) = 0

2.4. Divided Differences and Monotone Convergence

27

For a complete survey on these results we refer to the works of [279], Argyros and Szidarovszky [97]–[99]. Here we will use similar conditions (i.e. like (2.4.2), (2.4.3), (2.4.4)) for two-point approximations of the form (2.4.5) and (2.4.6) or (2.4.7) and (2.4.8). Consequently a discussion must follow on the possible choices of the linear operators A0 and A. Remark 2.4.1 Let us now consider an operator F : D ⊆ X → Y, where X, Y are both POTL-spaces. The operator F is called order-complex on an interval [x0 , y0 ] ⊆ D if F (λx + (1 − λ) y) ≤ λF (x) + (1 − λ) F (y)

(2.4.11)

for all comparable x, y ∈ [x0 , y0 ] and λ ∈ [0, 1] . If F has a linear G-derivative F ′ (x) at each point [x0 , y0 ] then (2.4.11) holds if and only if F ′ (x) (y − x) ≤ F (y) − F (x) ≤ F ′ (y) (y − x)

for

x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ y0 . (2.4.12)

(See e.g. Ortega and Rheinboldt [263] or our Exercise 2.25 for the properties of the Gateaux-derivative). Hence, for order-convex G-differentiable operators conditions (2.4.3) and (2.4.4) are satisfied with A0 (y, v) = A (y, v) = F ′ (u). In the unidimensional case (2.4.12) is equivalent with the isotony of the operator x → F ′ (x) but in general the latter property is stronger. Assuming the isotony of the operator x → F ′ (x) it follows that F (y) − F (x) ≤ F ′ (w) (y − x)

for

x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ w ≤ y0

Hence, in this case condition (2.4.2) is satisfied for A0 (w, z) = F ′ (w) . The above observations show to choose A and A0 for single or two-step Newtonmethods. We note that the iterative algorithm (2.4.5)-(2.4.8) with A0 (u, v) = F ′ (u) is the algorithm proposed by Fourier in 1818 in the unidimensional case and extended by Baluev in 1952 in the general case. The idea of using an algorithm of the form (2.4.7)-(2.4.8) goes back to Slugin [311]. In Ortega and Rheinboldt [263] it is shown that with Bn properly chosen (2.4.7) reduces to a general Newton-SOR algorithm. In particular,suppose (in the finite dimensional case) that F ′ (yn ) is an M -matrix and let F ′ (y) = Dn − Ln − Un be the partition of F ′ (yn ) into diagonal, strictly lower - and strictly upper-triangular parts respectively for all n ≥ 0. Consider an integer mn ≥ 1, a real parameter wn ∈ (0, 1] and denote Pn = wn−1 (Dn − wn Ln ) ,

Hn =

Pn−1 Qn ,

Qn = wn−1 [(1 − wn ) Dn + wn Un ] , and Bn = I + Hn + · · · + Hnmn −1 Pn−1 .

(2.4.13) (2.4.14)

28

2. Monotone convergence

It can easily be seen that Bn n ≥ 0 is a nonnegative subinverse of F ′ (yn ) (see, also [99]). If f : [a, b] → | R is a real function of a real variable, then f is (order) convex if and only if f (u) − f (v) f (x) − f (y) ≤ , x−y u−v

∀x, y, u, v ∈ [a, b] such that x ≤ u and y ≤ v.

This fact motivates the notion of convexity with respect to a divided difference considered by J.W. Schmidt and H. Leonhardt [307]. Let F : D ⊆ X → Y be a nonlinear operator between the POTL-spaces X and Y. Assume that the nonlinear operator F has a divided difference [·, ·] on D. F is called convex with respect to the divided difference [·, ·] on D if [x, y] ≤ [u, v] for all x, y, u, v ∈ D with x ≤ u and y ≤ v.

(2.4.15)

In the above quoted study, Schmidt and Leonhardt studied (2.4.5)-(2.4.6) with A0 (u, v) = [u, v] in case the nonlinear operator F is convex with respect to [·, ·]. Their result was extended by N. Schneider [308] who assumed instead of (1.2.1) the milder condition [u, v] (u − v) ≥ F (u) − F (v) for all comparable u, v ∈ D.

(2.4.16)

An operator [·, ·] : D × D → L (X, Y ) satisfying (2.4.16) is called a generalized divided difference of F on D. If both (2.4.15) and (2.4.16) are satisfied, then we say that F is convex with respect to the generalizedivided difference of [·, ·] . It is easily seen that if (2.4.15) and (2.4.16) are satisfied on D = [x0 , y−1 ] then conditions (2.4.2) and (2.4.3) are satisfied with A = A0 = [·, ·] . Indeed for x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ w ≤ z ≤ y−1 we have [x, y] (y − x) ≤ F (y) − F (x) ≤ [y, x] (y − x) ≤ [w, z] (y − x) . Moreover, concerning general secant-SOR methods, in case the generalized difference [yn , yn−1 ] is an M -matrix and if Bn n ≥ 0 is computed according to (2.4.13) and (2.4.14) where [yn , yn−1 ] = Dn − Ln − Un n ≥ 0 is the partition of [yn , yn−1 ] into its diagonal, strictly lower- and strictly upper-triangular parts. We remark that an operator which is convex with respect to a generalized divided difference is also order-convex. To see that, consider x, y ∈ D, x ≤ y, λ ∈ [0, 1] −1 and set z = λx + (I − λ) y. Observing that y − x = (1 − λ) (z − x) = λ−1 (y − z) and applying (2.4.16) we have in turn: (1 − λ)−1 (F (z) − F (x)) ≤ (1 − λ)−1 [z, x] (z − x)

= [z, x] (y − x) ≤ [z, y] (y − x)

= λ−1 [z, y] (y − z) ≤1 (F (y) − F (z)) . By the first and last term we deduce that F (z) ≤ λF (x) + (1 − λ) F (y) . Thus, Schneider’s result can be applied only to order-convex operators and its importance

2.4. Divided Differences and Monotone Convergence

29

resides in the fact that the use of a generalized divided difference instead of the G-derivative may be more advantageous from a numerical point of view. We note however, that conditions (2.4.2) and (2.4.3) do not necessarily imply convexity. For example, if f is a real function of a real variable such that f (x) − f (y) = m > 0, x−y x,y∈[x0 ,y0 ] inf

f (x) − f (y) =M <∞ x−y x,y∈[x0 ,y0 ] sup

then (2.4.2) and (2.4.3) are satisfied for A0 (u, v) = M and A (u, v) = m. It is not difficult to find examples of nonconvex operators in the finite (or even in the infinite) dimensional case satisfying a condition of the form A (y − x) ≤ F (y) − F (x) ≤ A0 (y, x) ,

x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ y0

where A0 and A are fixed linear operators. If A0 has a continuous nonsingular nonnegative left subinverse and A has a nonnegative right superinverse, then convergence of the algorithm (2.4.5)-(2.4.6) can be discussed. This algorithm becomes extremely simple in this case. The monotone convergence of such an iterative procedure seems to have been first investigated by S. Slugin [256]. In the end of this section we shall consider a class of nonconvex operators which satisfy condition (2.4.2) but do not necessarily satisfy condition (2.4.3). Consequently from convergence theorems involving (2.4.5) and (2.4.6) it will follow that Jacobi-Newton and the Jacobi-secant methods have monotonous convergence for operators belonging to this class (see, also the elegenat papers by F. Potra[274], [277], [279]. T0 Let F = (f1 , ..., fq ) be an operator acting in the finite dimensional space Rq , endowed with the natural (componentwise) partial ordering. Let us denote by ei the i−th coordinate vector of Rq . We say that F is off-diagonally antitone if the functions gij : R → R,

gij (t) = fi (x + tej ) , i 6= j, i, j = 1, ..., q

are antitone. Suppose that at each point x belonging to an interval U = [x0 , y−1 ] the partial derivatives ∂i Fi (x) , i = 1, 2, ..., q, exist and are positive. For any two points x, y ∈ U we consider the quotients ( fi (y)−fi (y−eT i (y−x)ei ) , if eTi (y − x) 6= 0 eT [x, y]i = (2.4.17) i (y−x) ∂i Fi (x) if eTi (y − x) = 0. Let us denote ∆ [x, y] the diagonal matrix having as elements the number [x, y]i , i = 1, 2, ..., q. For the diagonal matrix ∆ [x, y] formed by the partial derivatives ∂i fi (x), i = 1, 2, ..., q, we shall also use the notation DF (x) . Suppose now that F is off-diagonally antitone and that the operator DF : U → LB (Rq ) is isotone (i.e. all functions ∂i Fi : R → R) are isotone. In this case for all

2. Monotone convergence

x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ w ≤ z ≤ y−1 and all i ∈ {1, 2, ..., q} there exist λ, µ ∈ [0, 1] such that fi (y) − fi (x) ≤ fi (y) − fi y − eTi (y − x) ei = ∂i fi y − λeTi (y − x) ei , eTi (y − x) ≤ ∂i fi (y) eTi (y − x) ≤ ∂i fi (w) eTi (y − x) ≤ ∂i fi z − µeTi (z − w) eTi (y − x) = [w, z]i eTi (y − x) .

It follows that condition (2.4.2) is satisfied for A0 (w, z) = DF (w) as well as for A0 (w, z) = [∆w, z] . With the choice A0 (w, z) = ∆ [w, z] the iterative procedure (2.4.5) is a Jacobi-secant method while with the choice A0 (w, z) = DF (w) it reduces to the Jacobi-Newton method. For some applications of the latter method, see W. Torning [320].

Divided Differences and Fr´ echet-derivatives

Let F be a nonlinear operator defined on an open subset D of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y. Choose also x0 ∈ D to be fixed. Definition 2.5.1 The operator F : D ⊆ X → Y is Fr´echet - differentiable at the point x0 ∈ D if there exists a linear operator L ∈ LB (X, Y ) such that 1 kF (x0 + h) − F (x0 ) − A (h)k = 0. khk→0 khk lim

It is easy to see that such an operator is unique if it exists. This operator L is called the first Fr´echet-derivative of F at the point x0 and is denoted by F ′ (x0 ). The following facts are left as exercises: 1. If F is Fr´echet differentiable at the point x0 then F is continuous at this point. 2. If A ∈ LB (X, Y ) and F (x) for all x ∈ X, then F is Fr´echet-differentiable at every point x ∈ X and F ′ (x) = A. 3. Let F and G be two operators defined on D with values in Y . If F and G are Fr´echet-differentiable at a point x0 ∈ D, then the operator F + G is also ′ Fr´echet-differentiable at x0 and (F + G) (x0 ) = F ′ (x0 ) + G′ (x0 ) . 4. Let X, y and Z be three Banach spaces and consider the operators F : D1 ⊆ X → Y , G : D2 ⊆ Y → Z. Let x0 ∈ D10 such that y0 = F (x0 ) is a point in D20 . If F is Fr´echet-differentiable at x0 and G is Fr´echet differentiable at y0 then the mapping H = G0 F is Fr´echet-differentiable at x0 and H ′ (x0 ) = G′ (y0 ) F ′ (x0 ) . If the operator F is Fr´echet-differentiable at all x ∈ D, then we shall say that F is Fr´echet-differentiable on D. In this case we may consider an operator F ′ : D → LB (X, Y ) which associates to each point x ∈ D the Fr´echet-derivative of F at x. This operator will be called the first Fr´echet-derivative of F.

2.5. Divided Differences and Fr´echet-derivatives

31

Let x, y be two points in D and suppose that the segment S = {x + t (y − x) |t ∈ [0, 1]} ⊆ D. Let y ′ be a continuous linear functional, set h = y − x and define ϕ (t) = (F (x + th) , y ′ ) . If F is fr´echet-differentiable at each point of the segment S, then ϕ is differentiable on [0, 1] and ϕ (t) = (F ′ (x + th) , y ′ ) . Let us now suppose that α = sup kF ′ (x + t (y − x))k < ∞; t∈[0,1]

then we have k(F (y) − F (x) , y ′ )k = kϕ (1) − ϕ (0)k

≤ sup kϕ′ (t)k ≤ α ky ′ k ky − xk . t∈[0,1]

But, we also have kF (y) − F (x)k = sup k(F (y) − F (x) , y ′ )k , ky ′ k≤1

we deduce that kF (y) − F (x)k ≤ sup kF ′ (x + t (y − x))k · ky − xk

(2.5.1)

t∈[0,1]

so, we proved: Theorem 2.5.2 Let D be a convex subset of a Banach space X and F : D ⊆ X → Y . If F is Fr´echet-differentiable on D and if there exists a constant c such that kF ′ (x)k ≤ M

for all

x ∈ D ⇒ kF (x) − F (y)k ≤ c kx − yk

for all

x ∈ D. (2.5.2)

The estimate (2.5.1) is the analogue of the famous mean value formula from real analysis. If the operator F ′ is Riemann integrable on the segment S we can give the following integral representation of the mean value formula Z 1 F (x) − F (y) = F ′ (x + t (y − x)) dt (x − y) . (2.5.3) 0

32

2. Monotone convergence

Let now D be a convex open subset of X and let us suppose that we have associated to each pair (x, y) of distinct points from D a divided difference [x, y] of F at these points. In applications one often has to require that the operator (x, y) → [x, y] satisfy a Lipschitz condition (see also Section 2.3). We suppose that there exists a nonnegative c > 0 such that k[x, y] − [x1 , y1 ]k ≤ c (kx − x1 k + ky − y1 k)

(2.5.4)

for all x, y, x1 , y1 ∈ D with x 6= y and x1 = y1 . We say in this case that F has a Lipschitz continuous difference on D. This condition allows us to extend by continuity the operator (x, y) → [x, y] to the whole Cartesian product D × D. From (1.2.1) and (2.5.4) it follows that F is Fr´echet-differentiable on D and that [x, x] = F ′ (x). It also follows that kF ′ (x) − F ′ (y)k ≤ c1 kx − yk

with

c1 = 2c

(2.5.5)

and k[x, y] − F ′ (z)k ≤ c (kx − zk + ky − zk)

(2.5.6)

for all x, y ∈ D. conversely if we assume that F is Fr´echet-differentiable on D and that its Frechet derivative satisfies (2.5.5) then it follows that F has a Lipschitz continuous divided difference on D. We can certainly take Z 1 [x, y] = F ′ (x + t (y − x)) dt. (2.5.7) 0

We now want to give the definition of the second Frechet derivative of F . We must first introduce the definition of bounded multilinear operators (which will also be used later). Definition 2.5.3 Let X and Y be two Banach spaces. An operator A : X n → y (n ∈ N ) will be called n-linear operator from X to Y if the following conditions are satisfied: (a) The operator (x1 , ..., xn ) → A (x1 , ..., xn ) is linear in each variable xk k = 1, 2, ..., n. (b) There exists a constant c such that kA (x1 , x2 , ..., xn )k ≤ c kx1 k ... kxn k

(2.5.8)

The norm of a bounded n−linear operator can be defined by the formula kAk = sup {kA (x1 , ..., xn )k | kxn k = 1} . Set LB (1) (X, Y ) = LB (X, Y ) and define recursively LB (k+1) (X, Y ) = LB X, LB (k) (X, Y ) , k ≥ 0.

(2.5.9)

(2.5.10)

2.5. Divided Differences and Fr´echet-derivatives

33

In this way we obtain a sequence of Banach spaces LB (n) (X, Y ) (n ≥ 0) . Every A ∈ LB (n) (X, Y ) can be viewed as a bounded n-linear operator if one takes A (x1 , ..., xn ) = (... (A (x1 ) (x2 ) (x3 )) ...) (xn ) .

(2.5.11)

In the right hand side of (2.5.11) we have A (x1 ) ∈ LB (n−1) (X, Y ) ,

(A (x1 )) (x2 ) ∈ LB (n−2) (X, Y ) ,

etc.

Conversely, any bounded n-linear operator A drom X to Y can be interpreted as an element of B (n) (X, Y ) . Moreover the norm of A as a bounded n-linear operator coincides with the norm as an element of the space LB (n) (X, Y ) . Thus we may identify this space with the space of all bounded n−linear operators from X to Y. In the sequel we will identify A (x, x, ..., x) = Axn , and A (x1 ) (x2 ) ... (xn ) = A (x1 , x2 , ..., xn ) = Ax1 x2 ...xn . Let us now consider a nonlinear operator F : D ⊆ X → Y where D is open. Suppose that F is Fr´echet differentiable on D. Then we may consider the operator F ′ : D → LB (X, Y ) which associated to each point x the Fr´echet derivative of F at x. If the operator F ′ is Fr´echet differentiable at a point x0 ∈ D then we say that F is twice Fr´echet differentiable at x0 . The Fr´echet derivative of F ′ at x0 will be denoted by F ′′ (x0 ) and will be called the second Fr´echet derivative of F at x0 . Note that F ′′ (x0 ) ∈ LB (2) (X, Y ) . Similarly we can define Fr´echet derivatives of higher order. Finally by analogy with (2.5.7) [x0 , ..., xk ] = Z 1 Z 1 = ··· tk−1 tk−2 · · · tk−1 F (x0 + t1 (x1 − x0 ) + t1 t2 (x2 − x1 ) 1 2 0

0

+ · · · + t1 t2 , ..., tk (xk − xk−1 )) dt1 dt2 ...dtk .

(2.5.12)

It is easy to see that the multilinear operators defined above verify [x0 , ..., xk−1 , xk , xk+1 ] (xk − xk+1 ) = [x0 , ..., xk−1 , xk+1 ] .

(2.5.13)

We note that throughout this sequel a 2−linear operator will also be called bilinear. Finally, we will also need the definition of a n−linear symmetric operator. Given a n-linear operator A : X n → Y and a permutation i = (i1 , i2 , ..., in ) of the integers 1, 2, ..., n, the notation A (i) (or An (i) if we want to emphasize the n−linearity of A) can be used for the n−linear operator A (i) = An (i) such that A (i) (x1 , x2 , ..., xn ) = An (i) (x1 , x2 , ..., xn ) = An (xi1 , xi2 , ..., xin ) An xi1 xi2 ...xin (2.5.14) for all x1 , x2 , ..., xn ∈ X. Thus, there are n! n−linear operators A (i) = An (i) associated with a given n−linear operator A = An .

34

2. Monotone convergence

Definition 2.5.4 A n-linear operator A = An : X n → Y is said to be symmetric if A = An = An (i)

(2.5.15)

for all i belonging in Rn which denotes the set of all permutations of the integers 1, 2, ..., n. The symmetric n−linear operator A = An =

1P An (i) n! i∈Rn

(2.5.16)

is called the mean of A = An .

Definition 2.5.5 A n−linear operator A = An : X n → Y is said to be symmetric if A = An = An (i) for all i belonging in Rn which denotes the set of all permutations of the integers 1, 2, ..., n. The symmetric n−linear operator A = An =

1 X An (i) n!

(2.5.17)

i∈Rn

is called the mean of A = An . Notation 2.5.6 The notation An X P = An xx...x (p-times)

(2.5.18)

p ≤ n, A = An : X n → Y , for the result of applying An to x ∈ X p−times will be used. If p < n, then (2.5.17) will represent a (n − p)-linear operator. For p = n, note that Ak xk = Ak xk = Ak (i) xk

(2.5.19)

for all i ∈ Rk , x ∈ X. It follows from (2.5.18) that whenever we are dealing with an equation involving n-linear operators An , we may assume that they are symmetric without loss of generality, since each An may be replaced by An without changing the value of the expression at hand.

2.6

Enclosing the Root of an Equation

We consider the equation L (x) = T (x)

(2.6.1)

2.6. Enclosing the Root of an Equation

35

where L is a linear operator and T is a nonlinear operator defined on some convex subset D of a linear space E with values in a linear space Y. We study the convergence of the iterations L (yn+1 ) = T (yn ) + An (y, x) (yn+1 − yn )

(2.6.2)

L (xn+1 ) = T (xn ) + An (y, x) (xn+1 − xn )

(2.6.3)

and

to a solution x∗ of equation (2.6.1), where An (y,x) , n ≥ 0 is a linear operator. If P is a linear projection operator P 2 = P , that projects the space Y into YP ⊆ Y, then the operator P T will be assumed to be Fr´echet differentiable on D and its derivative P Tx′ (x) corresponds to the operator P B (y, x) , y, x ∈ D × D, ′ P TX (x) = P B (x, x) for all x ∈ D. We will assume that An (y, x) = AP B (yn , xn ) ,

n ≥ 0.

Iterations (2.6.2) and (2.6.3) have been studied extensively under several assumptions [68], [99], [100], [263], [277], [279], when P = L = I, the identity operator on D. However, the iterates {xn } and {yn } can rarely be computed in infinite dimensional spaces in this case. But if the space YP is finite dimensional with dim (YP ) = N, then iterations (2.6.2) and (2.6.3) reduce to systems of linear algebraic equations of order at most N. This case has been studied in [100], [205] and in particular in [225]. The assumptions in [230] involve the positivity of the operators P B (y, x) − AP B (y, x) , QTx′ (x) with Q = I − P and L (y) − An (y, x) y on some interval [y0 , x0 ], which is difficult to verify. In this section we simplify the above assumptions and provide some further conditions for the convergence of iterations (2.6.2) and (2.6.3) to a solution x∗ of equation (2.6.1). We finally illustrate our results with an example. We can now formulate our main result. Theorem 2.6.1 Let F = D ⊂ X → Y, where X is a regular POTL-space and Y is a POTL-space. Assume (a) there exist points x0 , y0 , y−1 ∈ D with x0 ≤ y0 ≤ y−1 ,

[x0 , y−1 ] ⊂ D,

L (x0 ) − T (x0 ) ≤ 0 ≤ L (y0 ) − T (y0 ) .

Set

and

S1 = (x, y) ∈ X 2 ; x0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ y0 , S2 = (u, y−1 ) ∈ X 2 ; x0 ≤ u ≤ y0 S3 = S1 ∪ S2 .

36

2. Monotone convergence

(b) Assume that there exists an operator A : S3 → B (X, Y ) such that (L (y) − T (y)) − (L (x) − T (x)) ≤ A (w, z) (y − x)

(2.6.4)

for all (x, y) , (y, w) ∈ S2 , (w, z) ∈ S3 . (c) Suppose that for any (u, v) ∈ S3 the linear operator A (u, v) has a continuous nonsingular nonnegative left subinverse. Then there exist two sequences {xn } , {yn } , n ≥ 1 satisfying (2.6.2), (2.6.3), L (xn ) − T (xn ) ≤ 0 ≤ L (yn ) − T (yn ) , (2.6.5) x0 ≤ x1 ≤ · · · ≤ xn ≤ xn+1 ≤ yn+1 ≤ yn ≤ · · · ≤ y1 ≤ y0 (2.6.6) and lim xn = x∗ ,

n→∞

lim yn = y ∗ .

(2.6.7)

n→∞

Moreover, if the operators An = A (yn , yn−1 ) are inverse nonnegative then any solution of the equation (2.6.1) from the interval [x0 , y0 ] belongs to the interval [x∗ , y ∗ ] . Proof. Let us define the operator M : [0, y0 − x0 ] → X by M (x) = x − L0 (L (x0 ) − T (x0 ) + A0 (x)) where L0 is a continuous nonsingular nonnegative left subinverse of A0 . It can easily be seen that M is isotone, continuous with M (0) = −L0 (L (x0 ) − T (x0 )) ≥ 0 and M (y0 − x0 ) = y0 − x0 − L0 (L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) + L0 [(L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) − (L (x0 ) − T (x0 )) − A0 (y0 − x0 )] ≤ y0 − x0 − L0 (L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) ≤ y0 − x0 .

It now follows from the theorem of L.V. Kantorovich 2.2.2 on fixed points that the operator M has a fixed point w ∈ [0, y0 − x0 ] . Set x1 = x0 + w to get L (x0 ) − T (x0 ) + A0 (x1 − x0 ) = 0,

x0 ≤ x1 ≤ y0 .

By (2.6.4), we get L (x1 ) − T (x1 ) = (L (x1 ) − T (x1 )) − (L (x0 ) − T (x0 )) + A0 (x0 − x1 ) ≤ 0.

2.6. Enclosing the Root of an Equation

37

Let us now define the operator M1 : [0, y0 − x1 ] → X by M1 (x) = x + L0 (L (y0 ) − T (y0 ) − A0 (x)) . It can easily be seen that M1 is continuous, isotone with M1 (0) = L0 (L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) ≥ 0 and M1 (y0 − x1 ) = y0 − x1 + L0 (L (x1 ) − T (x1 )) + L0 [(L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) − (L (x1 ) − T (x1 )) − A0 (y0 − x1 )] ≤ y0 − x1 + L0 (L (x1 ) − T (x1 )) ≤ y0 − x1 .

As before, there exists z ∈ [0, y0 − x1 ] such that M1 (z) = z. Set y1 = y0 − z to get L (y0 ) − T (y0 ) + A0 (y1 − y0 ) = 0,

x1 ≤ y1 ≤ y0 .

But from (2.6.4) and the above L (y1 ) − T (y1 ) = (L (y1 ) − T (y1 )) − (L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) − A0 (y1 − y0 ) ≥ 0. Using induction on n we can now show, following the above technique, that there exist sequences {xn } , {yn } , n ≥ 1 satisfying (2.6.1), (2.6.2), (2.6.5) and (2.6.6). since the space X is regular (2.6.6) we get that there exist x∗ , y ∗ ∈ E satisfying (2.6.7), with x∗ ≤ y ∗ . Let x0 ≤ z ≤ y0 and L (z) − T (z) = 0 then we get A0 (y1 − z) = A0 (y0 ) − (L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) − A0 (z)

= A0 (y0 − z) − [(L (y0 ) − T (y0 )) − (L (z) − T (z))] ≥ 0

and A0 (x1 − z) = A0 (x0 ) − (L (x0 ) − T (x0 )) − A0 (z)

= A0 (x0 − z) − [(L (x0 ) − T (x0 )) − (L (z) − T (z))] ≤ 0.

If A0 is inverse isotone, then x1 ≤ z ≤ y1 and by induction xn ≤ z ≤ yn . Hence x∗ ≤ z ≤ y ∗ . That completes the proof of the theorem. Using (2.6.1), (2.6.2), (2.6.5), (2.6.6) and (2.6.7) we can easily prove the following theorem which gives us natural conditions under which the points x∗ and y ∗ are solutions of the equation (2.6.1). Theorem 2.6.2 Let L − T be continuous at x∗ and y ∗ and the hypotheses of Theorem 2.6.1 be true. Assume that one of the conditions is satisfied: (a) x∗ = y ∗ ;

38

2. Monotone convergence

(b) X is normal and there exists an operator H : X → Y (H (0) = 0) which has an isotone inverse continuous at the origin and An ≤ H for sufficiently large n; (c) Y is normal and there exists an operator G : X → Y (G (0) = 0) continuous at the origin and such that An ≤ G for sufficiently large n. (d) The operators Ln , n ≥ 0 are equicontinuous. Then L (x∗ )−T (x∗ ) = L (y ∗ )−T (y ∗ ) = 0. Moreover, assume that there exists an operator G1 : S1 → L (X, Y ) such that G1 (x, y) has a nonnegative left superinverse for each (x, y) ∈ S1 and L (y) − T (y) − (L (x) − T (x)) ≥ G1 (x, y) (y − x)

for all

(x, y) ∈ S1 .

Then if (x∗ , y ∗ ) ∈ S1 and L (x∗ ) − T (x∗ ) = L (y ∗ ) − T (y ∗ ) = 0 then x∗ = y ∗ . We now complete this paper with an application.

Chapter 3

Contractive Fixed Point Theory The ideas of a contraction operator and its fixed points are fundamental to many questions in applied mathematics. In Section 1 we outline the essential ideas, whereas in Section 2 some examples are provided. An extension of the contraction mapping theorem with an application to a boundary value problem is provided in Section 3. Stationary and nonstationary projection methods are studied in Section 5. A special iteration method is analysed in Section 5 whose convergence results improves earlier ones. Finally, in Section 6 the stability of the Ishikawa iteration is discussed. Further results on fixed points are given in Chapter 12.

3.1

Fixed Points

Definition 3.1.1 Let F be an operator mapping a set X into itself. A point x ∈ X is called a fixed point of F if x = F (x).

(3.1.1)

Equation (3.1.1) leads naturally to the construction of the method of successive approximations or substitutions xn+1 = F (xn ) (n ≥ 0) x0 ∈ X.

(3.1.2)

If sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) converges to some point x∗ ∈ X for some initial guess x0 ∈ X, and F is a continuous operator in a Banach space X, we can have x∗ = lim xn+1 = lim F (xn ) = F lim xn = F (x∗ ) . n→∞

n→∞

n→∞

∗

That is, x is a fixed point of operator F . Hence, we showed:

Theorem 3.1.2 If F is a continuous operator in a Banach space X, and the sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) generated by (3.1.2) converges to some point x∗ ∈ X for some initial guess x0 ∈ X, then x∗ is a fixed point of operator F . 47

48

3. Contractive Fixed Point Theory

We need information on the uniqueness of x∗ and the distances kxn − x∗ k, kxn+1 − xn k (n ≥ 0). That is why we introduce the concept: Definition 3.1.3 Let (X, k k) be a metric space and F a mapping of X into itself. The operator F is said to be a contraction or a contraction mapping if there exists a real number c, 0 ≤ c < 1, such that kF (x) − F (y)k ≤ c kx − yk ,

for all x, y ∈ X.

(3.1.3)

It follows immediately from (3.1.3) that every contraction mapping F is uniformly continuous. Indeed, F is Lipschitz continuous with a Lipschitz constant c. The point c is called the contraction constant for F . We now arrive at the Banach contraction mapping theorem [207]. Theorem 3.1.4 Let (X, k·k) be a Banach space, and F : X → X be a contraction mapping. Then F has a unique fixed point. Proof. Uniqueness: Suppose there are two fixed points x, y of F . Since F is a contraction mapping, kx − yk = kF (x) − F (y)k ≤ c kx − yk < kx − yk , which is impossible. That shows uniqueness of the fixed point of F . Existence: Using (3.1.2) we obtain kx2 − x1 k ≤ c kx1 − x0 k

kx3 − x2 k ≤ x kx2 − x1 k ≤ c2 kx1 − x0 k .. . kxn+1 − xn k ≤ cn kx1 − x0 k

(3.1.4)

and, so kxn+m − xn k ≤ kxn+m − xn+m−1 k + · · · + kxn+1 − xn k ≤ cm+1 + · · · + c + 1 cn kx1 − x0 k cn ≤ kx1 − x0 k . 1−c Hence, sequence {xn }(n ≥ 0) is Cauchy in a Banach space X and such it converges to some x∗ . The rest of the theorem follows from Theorem 3.1.2. Remark 3.1.1 It follows from (3.1.1), (3.1.3) and x∗ = F (x∗ ) that kxn − x∗ k = kF (xn−1 ) − F (x∗ )k ≤ c kxn−1 − x∗ k ≤ cn kx0 − x∗ k (n ≥ 1) .

(3.1.5)

3.2. Applications

49

Inequality (3.1.5) describes the convergence rate. This is convenient only when an a priori estimate for x0 − x∗ is available. Such an estimate can be derived from the inequality kx0 − x∗ k ≤ kx0 − F (x0 )k + kF (x0 ) − F (x∗ )k ≤ kx0 − F (x0 )k + c kx0 − x∗ k , which leads to kx0 − x∗ k ≤

1 kx0 − F (x0 )k . 1−c

(3.1.6)

By (3.1.5) and (3.1.6), we obtain kxn − x∗ k ≤

cn kx0 − F (x0 )k (n ≥ 1) . 1−c

(3.1.7)

Estimates (3.1.5) and (3.1.7) can be used to determine the number of steps needed to solve Equation (3.1.1). For example if the error tolerance is ε > 0, that is, we use kxn − x∗ k < ε, then this will certainly hold if n>

3.2

1 ε (1 − c) ln . ln c kx0 − F (x0 )k

(3.1.8)

Applications

These are examples of operators with fixed points that are not contraction mappings: Example 3.2.1 Let F : R → R, q > 1, F (x) = qx + 1. Operator F is not a contraction, but it has a unique fixed point x = (1 − q)−1 . Example 3.2.2 Let F : X → X, x = (0, √16 ], F (x) = x3 . We have |F (x) − F (y)| = x3 − y 3 ≤ |x|2 + |x| · |y| + |y|2 |x − y| ≤

1 2

|x − y|

That is, F is a contraction with c = 12 , with no fixed points in X. This is not violating Theorem 3.1.4 since X is not a Banach space. Example 3.2.3 Let F : [a, b] → [a, b], F differentiable at every x ∈ (a, b) and |F ′ (x)| ≤ c < 1. By the mean value theorem, if x, y ∈ [a, b] there exists a point z between x and y such that F (x) − F (y) = F ′ (z) (z − y) , from which it follows that F is a contraction with constant c.

50

3. Contractive Fixed Point Theory

Example 3.2.4 Let F : [a, b] → R. Assume there exist constants p1 , p2 such that p1 p2 < 0 and 0 < p1 < F ′ (x) ≤ p−1 and assume that F (a) < 0 < F (b). How 2 can we find the zero of F (x) guaranteed to exist by the intermediate value theorem? Define a function P by P (x) = x − p2 F (x). Using the hypotheses, we obtain P (a) = a − p2 F (a) > a, P (b) = b − F (b) < b, P ′ (x) = 1 − p2 F ′ (x) ≥ 0, and P ′ (x) ≤ 1 − p1 p2 < 1. Hence P maps [a, b] into itself and |p′ (x)| ≤ 1 for all x ∈ [a, b]. By Example 3.2.3, P (x) is a contraction mapping. Hence, P has a fixed point which is clearly a zero of F . Example 3.2.5 (Fredholm integral equation). Let K(x, y) be a continuous function on [a, b] × [a, b], f0 (x) be continuous on [a, b] and consider the equation Z b f (x) = f0 (x) + λ K (x, y) f (y) dy. a

Define the operator P : C[a, b] → C[a, b] by p(f ) = g given by Z b g (x) = f0 (x) + λ K (x, y) f (y) dy. a

Note that a fixed point of P is a solution of the integral equation. We get kP (q1 ) − P (q2 )k = sup p (q1 (x)) − P (q2 (x)) x∈[a,b]

Z b = |λ| sup k (x, y) (q1 (y) − q2 (y)) dy x∈[a,b] a Z b (q1 (y) − q2 (y)) dy (by Weierstrass theorem) ≤ |λ| δ a ≤ |λ| δ (b − a) sup |q1 (y) − q2 (y)| x∈[a,b]

≤ |λ| δ (b − a) kq1 − q2 k . Hence, P is a contraction mapping if there exists a c > 1 such that |λ| δ (b − a) ≤ c.

3.3

Extending the contraction mapping theorem

An extension of the contraction mapping theorem is provided in a Banach space setting. Our approach is justified by numerical examples where our results apply whereas the contraction mapping theorem 3.1.4 cannot. We provide the following fixed point theorem:

3.3. Extending the contraction mapping theorem

51

Theorem 3.3.1 Let Q : D ⊆ X → X be an operator, p, q scalars with p < 1, q ≥ 0 and x0 a point in D such that: kQ(x) − Q(y)k ≤ qkx − ykp for all x, y ∈ D. 1

(3.3.1)

Set a = q 1−p and b = q p kQ(x0 ) − x0 k. Moreover assume: 0≤b<1

(3.3.2)

and U (x0 , r) ⊆ D, where, n r ≥ kQ(x0 ) − x0 k + a bp + · · · + bp .

(3.3.3)

Then sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) generated by successive approximations xn+1 = Q(xn )

(n ≥ 0)

(3.3.4)

remains in U (x0 , r) for all n ≥ 0 and converges to a fixed point x∗ ∈ U (x0 , r), so that for all n ≥ 1: n

and n n+m−1 kxn − x∗ k ≤ a lim bp + · · · + bp = cn m→∞ np ≤ a lim b + · · · + b(n+m−1)p m→∞

abnp ≤ . 1 − bp

(3.3.6)

Moreover if r < q −1/p

(3.3.7)

then x∗ is the unique fixed point of Q on U (x0 , r). Proof. By hypothesis (3.3.3) Q(x0 ) = x1 ∈ U (x0 , r). Let us assume xk ∈ U (x0 , r) for k = 0, 1, . . . , n. Then by (3.3.1), (3.3.2) and (3.3.4) we obtain in turn kxn+1 − xn k = kQ(xn ) − Q(xn−1 )k ≤ qkxn − xn−1 kp ≤ q(qkxn−1 − xn−2 kp )p 2

which shows (3.3.5). Using (3.3.3) and (3.3.5) we get kxn+1 − x0 k ≤ kxn+1 − xn k + kxn − xn−1 k + · · · + kx2 − x1 k + kx1 − x0 k n (3.3.8) ≤ a bp + · · · + bp + kx1 − x0 k ≤ r,

which shows xn+1 ∈ U (x0 , r). Moreover for all m ≥ 0 we can have

kxn+m − xn k ≤ ≤ kxn+m − xn+m−1 k + kxn+m−1 − xn+m−2 k + · · · + kxn+1 − xn k n+m−1 n ≤ a bp + · · · + bp ≤ a b(n+m−1)p + · · · + bnp 1 − bmp = abnp , 1 − bp

(3.3.9)

which shows that {xn } is a Cauchy sequence in a Banach space X and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , r) (since U (x0 , r) is a closed set). By letting m → ∞ in (3.3.9) we obtain (3.3.6). Furthermore by letting n → ∞ in (4) we obtain x∗ = Q(x∗ ) (since Q is continuous by (3.3.1)). Finally to show uniqueness, let y ∗ ∈ U (x0 , r) be a fixed point of Q. Then we can get as above kxn+1 − y ∗ k = kQ(xn ) − Q(y ∗ )k ≤ qkxn − y ∗ kp ≤ q(qkxn−1 − y ∗ kp )p n

x =y .

Remark 3.3.1 (a) Case p > 1. Under hypotheses (3.3.1), (3.3.2) and (3.3.3) n n+m−1 the proof of the theorem goes through since bp + · · · + bp is still a Cauchy sequence but estimate (3.3.6) only holds as kxn − x∗ k ≤ cn .

(3.3.11)

(b) Case p = 1. We simply have the contraction mapping theorem 3.1.4. Next we provide a numerical example to show that our Theorem can apply in cases where p 6= 1. That is in cases where the contraction mapping principle cannot apply.

3.3. Extending the contraction mapping theorem

Stationary and nonstationary projection-iteration methods

The aim of this work is to study the existence of the solutions of the equation x = A(x, x)

(3.4.1)

and their approximations for nonlinear operator A. It is clear that equation (3.4.1) contains the equation x = Ax as a special case and the approximations xn = An (xn , xn−1 ), n = 1, 2, ...

(3.4.2)

generalize a lot of approximate methods such as the Picard, Seidel and NewtonKantorovich methods and so on. In the sequel we study the strong and weak convergence of this type of projection-iteration method, stationary as well as non stationary for equation (3.4.1). A new generalized fixed point Edelstein’s theorem [149], [150] will be stated and some examples will be shown. Theorem 3.4.1 (Stationary) Let X be a topological vector space, D a compact set in X, A a continuous mapping from D × D into D, and F = {x ∈ D : A(x, x) = x} Let g : D × F → [0, ∞). Assume 1. F 6= ∅ and g = 0, x ∈ D, p ∈ F ⇔ x = p ∈ F ; 2. g(A(x, y), p) < max{g(x, p), g(y, p)}, ∀x, y ∈ D, p ∈ F such that there are no such relations x = y = p; 3. the function g(x, p) is continuous in x; 4. the system un = A(un , vn ), (3.4.3) vn = Ak (un , un−1 ) is solvable for arbitrary element u0 ∈ D anf for all n ≥ 1, where A1 (x, y) = A(x, y), Ai (x, y) = A(x, Ai−1 (x, y)), i = 2, 3, ..., k. Then the sequences {un }, {vn } constructed by (3.4.3) converge (in the topology of X) to the unique solution of equation (3.4.1). Proof. By assumption 2/ we have g(un , p) < max(g(un , p), g(vn , p)), i.e. g(un , p) < g(vn , p). However g(vn , p) = g(Ak (un , un−1 ), p) < max(g(un , p), g(Ak−1 (un , un−1 ), p)) ≤ ... ≤ ≤ max(g(un , p), g(un−1 , p)),

hence g(un , p) < g(vn , p) < g(un−1 , p).

3.4. Stationary and nonstationary projection-iteration methods

55

Therefore lim g(un , p) = lim g(vn , p). By the compactness of D we get the subsequences {unj } ⊂ {un }, {vnj } ⊂ {vn } such that unj → u, vnj → v. Since g is continuous g(u, p) = g(v, p). On the other hand A(unj , vnj ) → A(u, v) and g(u, p) = g(A(u, v), p) < max{g(u, p), g(v, p)}. This is a contradiction. So u = v = p. Note that F contains only one element. Indeed if p 6= q, p, q ∈ F, then g(p, q) = g(A(p, q), p) < max g(p, q). This is impossible. Consequently the sequences {un , vn } converge to the unique solution p of equation (3.4.1). Remark 3.4.1 Instead of condition 3/ we can use the condition R: from lim g(un , p) = lim g(vn , p), p ∈ F, and v is a limit of the sequence {vn } it follows that either g(u, p) ≤ g(v, p) or g(u, p) ≥ g(v, p) for all limits u of the sequence {un }.

To verify this Remark it suffices to use conditions 2/, 4/. Indeed it is clear that from the sequences {unj }, {vnj }, we can choose the subseqeunces {unjk −1 } such that unjk −1 → u¯. Then we have unjk = A(unjk , vnjk ), unjk → u = A(u, v)

¯). vnjk = A(unjk , unjk −1 ), vnjk → v = A(u, u

Hence g(u, p) < max{g(u, p), g(v, p)} implies g(u, p) < g(v, p) g(v, p) < max{g(u, p), g(¯ u, p)} implies g(v, p) < g(¯ u, p), if either u = v = p or u = u ¯ = p do not hold. However the last inequalities contradict condition R). Therefore u = v = p or u = u ¯ = p, i.e. v = Ak (u, u) = Ak (p, p) = p. Lemma 3.4.2 [332] Let M be a bounded weakly closet subset in a reflexive Banach space, and mf a lower weakly semicontinuous functional on M. Then f is lower bounded and attains its infinimum on M. Theorem 3.4.3 Let X, D, A, F, g be as in Theorem 3.4.1. Assume that conditions 1/, 3/, 4/ of Theorem 3.4.1 hold and instead of condition 2/ of this theorem the following conditions are satisfied: 5/ < max(g(x, p), g(y, p)), if g(x, p) 6= g(y, p), g(A(x, y), p) ≤ max(g(x, p), g(y, p)), if g(x, p) = g(y, p),

56

3. Contractive Fixed Point Theory

∀x, y ∈ D, p ∈ F ; 6/ ∀y ∈ / F, x ∈ D satisfying x = A(x, y), ∃q = q(x, y) ∈ F such that g(A(x, y), p) < max(g(x, q), g(y, q)). Then subsequence {unj , vnj } of the sequence {un , vn } constructed by (3.4.3) must converge simultaneously to the solution p of equation (3.4.1). Proof. As in the proof of Theorem 3.4.1 we have lim g(un , p) = lim g(vn , p).

(3.4.4)

Now from {un }, {vn } we take {unj }, {vnj } such that unjk → u, vnjk → v. It will be shown that v ∈ F. If it is not true, i.e. v ∈ / F, then ∃q = q(u, v) ∈ F, such that g(u, p) = g(A(u, v), q) < max(g(u, p), g(v, p)) i.e. g(u, p) < g(v, p).

(3.4.5)

Since the function g is continuous g(u, p) = g(v, p) by (3.4.4). But this contradicts (3.4.5). Hence v ∈ F. Moreover, if g(u, v) 6= g(v, v) = 0 then g(u, p) = g(A(u, v), v) < max(g(u, v), g(v, v)), this is impossible. So g(u, v) = 0, i.e. u = v ∈ F. Lemma 3.4.4 Let X be a strictly convex Banach space, D a convex subset in X, A : D × D → D a continuous mapping satisfying the condition kA(x, y) − pk ≤ max(kx − pk , ky − pk), ∀x, y ∈ D, p ∈ F = {x ∈ D : A(x, x) = x}. If F 6= ∅, then F is convex. The proof of this Lemma is similar to the one in a work by W.V. Petryshyn and J.R. Williamson (see [273]). Lemma 3.4.5 [332]. In a Banach space if the functional f is quasiconvex, i.e. for any t ∈ (0, 1) f (tx − (1 − t)y) ≤ max(f (x), f (y)) and lower semicontinuous, then f is lower weakly semicontinuous. From now on a mapping V is said to be quasiconvex if

x1 + x2

V (

≤ max(kV (x1 )k , kV (x2 )k). )

Theorem 3.4.6 Let X be a strictly convex and reflexive Banach space, D a convex closed subset in X, A a continuous mapping from D × D into D and 7/ F 6= ∅; 8/ ≤ max(kx − pk , ky − pk) if kx − pk 6= ky − pk , kA(x, y) − pk ≤ max(kx − pk , ky − pk) if kx − pk = ky − pk ; 9/ the system (3.4.3) is solvable for all n and kun − vn k → 0 as n → ∞; 10/ either the mapping Ix − A, where (Ix − A)(x, y) = x − A(x, y), is quasiconvex ot the mapping Iy −A, where (Iy −A)(x, y) = y −A(x, y), is quasiconvex; 11/ thespace mX W

has the property: if {yn } ⊂ X, yn → y0 ∈ X, then the limkyn − yk >limkyn − y0 k , ∀y 6= y0 , y ∈ X. Then the sequences {un }, {vn } defined by (3.4.3) weakly converge simoultaneously to the solution p ∈ F. Proof. Similarly to the proof of Theorem 3.4.1 we obtain: kun − pk ≤ kvn − pk ≤ kun−1 − pk . Hence lim kun − pk = lim kvn − pk .

Consequently {un }, {vn } ⊂ B(p, ku0 − pk), where mB is a ball with center at p ∈ F. Therefore from {un }, {vn } we can choose weakly convergent subsequences {unj }, {vnj } such that W

W

unj → u, vnj → v. However,

ku − vk ≤ lim unj − vnj = lim kun − vn k = 0.

Hence u = v. By condition 10/, if the mapping Iy −a is quasiconvex (and continuous, of course) then it is weakly lower semicontinuous, we thus have

kv − A(u, v)k ≤ lim unj − A(unj , vnj ) = 0.

Hence u = A(u, v), i.e. u = v = A(u, u) = A(v, v). Therefore for both cases the subsequences {unj }, {vnj } weakly converge to the solution p ∈ F. Now let f (p) = lim kun − pk . This function is defined on the set F0 = F ∩ B(p ku0 − pk) which is convex closed bounded by the convexity and closedness of F. and hence it is weakly compact. On the other hand it is easy to see that f (p) is convex and continuous and thus f (p) is lower weakly semicontinuous. Therefore f (p) attains on F0 its infinimum, say, at a point p∗∗ . It will be shown that p is a unique limit point of both sequences {un }, {vn }. Indeed if there exists a subsequence {unk } weakly converging to u 6= p then by condition 11/ we have lim kunk − pk > lim kunk − uk .

58

3. Contractive Fixed Point Theory

However lim kunk − pk = lim kun − pk = f (p), and lim kunk − uk = lim kun − uk = f (u). That is f (p) > f (u), which is a contradiction. Theorem 3.4.7 Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space, D a convex subset in X and A : D × D → D a continuous mapping satisfying conditions 7/, 8/ and a/ assume that for a point c ∈ [0, 1) the mapping Jc − A, where Jc (x, y) = cx + (1 − c)y is quasiconvex on D × D; then for any t ∈ (0, 1) the sequences un = ((tJc − (I − t)A)(un , vn ), vn = ((tJc − (I − t)A)k (un , un−1 ), weakly converge simultaneously to the solution p ∈ F ; b/ when the mapping Ix − A is quasiconvex, we construct an algorithm as follows: u ¯0 = u0 , then by means of the system un = A(un , vn ), n ≥ 1

(3.4.6)

vn = Ak (un , u ˜n−1 ),

we obtain (u1 , v1 ),then we take u ˜1 = tu1 + (1 − t)v1, and again using system (3.4.6) we get (u2 , v2 ) etc; we claim that such obtained sequences {un }, {vn } will weakly converge to the solution p ∈ F. Proof. It suffices to show that the constructed sequences {un }, {vn } satisfy condition 9/ i.e. kun − vn k → 0 as n → ∞. i/ First we study the case c 6= 1. We have kun − pk = k(tJc − (I − t)A)(un , vn ) − pk ≤ t kJc (un , vn ) − pk + (1 − t) kA(un , vn ) − pk

≤ t(c kun − pk + (1 − c) kvn − pk) + (1 − t) kA(un , vn ) − pk .

But (1 − t) kA(un , vn ) − pk < (1 − t) max(kun − pk , kvn − pk), if kun − pk 6= kvn − pk ≤ (1 − t) max(kun − pk , kvn − pk), if kun − pk = kvn − pk . It follows that kun − pk ≤ kvn − pk .

3.4. Stationary and nonstationary projection-iteration methods

59

Analogously we obtain kvn − pk = k(tJc + (1 − t)A)k (un , un−1 ) − pk ≤ kun−1 − pk . Therefore there exists d such that d = lim kun − pk = lim kvn − pk . If d = 0, then un → p, vn → p and, of course, W

Obviously

Wn ≤ 1, kZn k ≤ 1. Hence from ktWn + (1 − t)Zn k → 0 as n → ∞ and by the uniform convexity of X it follows that kWn − Zn k → 0 as n → ∞, i.e. kc(un − p) + (1 − c)(vn − p) − (A(un , vn ) − p)k → 0 as n → ∞. Taking into account that kcun + (1 − c)vn − A(un , vn )k = 1 = k(1 − t)(cun + (1 − c)vn ) − (1 − t)A(un , vn )k 1−t 1 = kcun + (1 − c)vn − [t(cun + (1 − c)vn ) + (1 − t)A(un , vn )]k 1−t 1 = kcun + (1 − c)vn − un k 1−t 1 = k(1 − c)(vn − un )k , 1−t

we have kvn − un k → ∞ as n → ∞. At the same time it is easily seen (Jc − A)(un − vn ) = cun + (1 − c)vn − A(un , vn ) =

1−c (vn − un ). 1−t

Now as in the proof of Theorem 3.4.1 we obtain W

unj → u, vnj → v, u = v. By the quasiconvexity of the mapping Jc − A we get

kcu + (1 − c)v − A(un , vn )k = ku − A(u, u)k ≤ lim (Jc − A)(unj − vnj ) 1−c = lim kvn − un k = 0, 1−t

i.e. u = v = A(u, u) = A(v, v). It remains to apply the same arguments as in the proof of Theorem 3.4.1. ii/ The case c = 1. By condition 7/ we have kun+1 − pk ≤ kvn+1 − pk ≤ k¯ un − pk and kun − pk ≤ kvn − pk . But u¯n = tun + (1 − t)vn so k¯ un − pk ≤ kvn − pk . Thus there exists d such that d = lim k¯ un − pk = lim kvn − pk . If d = 0, then kvn − pk → 0 as n → ∞. If d 6= 0, then

u

Nevertheless

kvn − pk kvn − pk kvn − pk

Setting

Wn =

we have kWn k ≤ 1,

kZn k = 1.

Hence kWn − Zn k → 0 as n → ∞, i.e.

u

¯n − p

¯n − p − vn − p = u

kvn − pk kvn − pk vn − p → 0 as n → ∞.

So kun − vn k → 0, as n → ∞. The proof of the theorem is complete. Let us deal with the algorithm un = An (un , vn ), n ≥ 1, vn = An,k (un , un−1 ),

(3.4.7)

where An,1 (x, y) = An (x, y), An,i (x, y) = An (x, An,i−1 (x, y)), i = 1, 2, ..., k. Lemma 3.4.8 Let (X, d) be a metric space, Mn , n = 0, 1, 2, ... compact subsets in B

X, and Mn → M0 as n → ∞ i.e. sup inf d(x, y) → 0 as n → ∞. Then the set

∪∞ n=0 Mn is compact too.

x∈Mn y∈M0

Remark 3.4.2 Similarly to the proofs of the last Theorem and of Theorems 3.4.6, 3.4.7 it is able to show the weak convergence of the approximants defined by (3.4.7) or by un = (tJc − (I − t)An )(un , vn ), n ≥ 1, vn = (tJc − (I − t)An )k (un , un−1 ), for any t ∈ (0, 1), the the cases when X is a reflexive Banach space or an uniformly convex one and An are continuous mappings from D×D into Dn , where Dn , mn≥ 0 are convex closed subsets in D ⊂ X. Theorem 3.4.9 Let X be a Banach space, D a closed subset of X. Assume that An , n > 0 are continuous and weakly compact mappings from D × D into D. Moreover the following conditions are satisfied: 12/ F = {x : A(x, x) = x} 6= ∅; 13/ < max(kx − pk , ky − pk) if kx − pk 6= ky − pk , kAn (x, y) − pk ≤ max(kx − pk , ky − pk) if kx − pk = ky − pk ∀x, y ∈ D, p ∈ F, n ≥ 0; 14/ f or c ∈ [0, 1] the mapping Jc − A0 is quasiconvex W on D × D. 15/ the space X has the property: if {yn } ⊂ X, yn → y0 ∈ X, then limkyn − yk >limkyn − y0 k , ∀y 6= y0 , y ∈ X; 16/ The system (3.4.7) is solvable for n ≥ 1 and kun − vn k → 0 as n → ∞; 17/ kAn (x, y) − A0 (x, y)k ≤ ε, ε → 0 as n → ∞, ∀x, y ∈ D. Then the sequences {un } , {vn } defined by formula (3.4.7) weakly converge to the solution of equation (3.4.1) .

62

3. Contractive Fixed Point Theory

Proof. As in the proof of Theorem 3.4.1 we have lim kvn − pk = lim kun − pk ≤ ku0 − pk . Hence {un } , {vn } ⊂ D0 = B(p, ku0 − pk) ∩ D (convex and closed in D). Let Mn be the image of the restriction of An on D0 × D0 , n ≥ 0. By the weak compactness of An , Mn are weakly compact. By means of constructed method (3.4.7) it is clear that un , vn ∈ Mn , n ≥ 1. By condition 17/ and Lemma 3.4.8, M = ∪n≥0 Mn is weakly compact. Therefore from the sequences {un } , {vn } we can choose weakly convergent subsequences unj , vnj such that W

W

unj → u, vnj → v. But

ku − vk ≤ lim unj − vnj = lim kun − vn k = 0, that is, u = v. On the other hand,

k(Jc − A0 ) (u, v)k = kcu + (1 − c) v − A0 (u, v)k

≤ lim cunj + (1 − c) vnj − A0 unj , vnj + εnj

≤ lim cunj + (1 − c) vnj − Anj unj , vnj + εnj

≤ lim (1 − c) unj , vnj (since unj = Anj unj , vnj ) = (1 − c) lim kun − vn k = 0.

Hence cu + (1 − c) v = A0 (u, v), and u = v, so u = v ∈ F. It will be shown that {un } , {vn } have just one limit point (in the weak sense), say, p. In order to do it we consider the function f (p) = lim kvn − pk defined on F0 = F ∩ M0 . Since the function f is lower weakly semicontinuous and the set F is weakly compact (as the image of a bounded closed set under a weakly compact mapping), we claim that the function f attains on F0 its infinimum at a point, say, p¯. Suppose that a subsequence {unk } weakly converges to u 6= p¯. Then by condition 15/ we have lim kunk − p¯k > lim kunk − uk . W

W

This is a contradiction. So un → p, vn → p. The theorem is thus proved. By the use of Edelstein’s Theorem from [149], [150] for the operator An (x) = A(x, v) it is easy to prove

3.4. Stationary and nonstationary projection-iteration methods

63

Theorem 3.4.10 Let D be a closed bounded subset of a normed space X, and A a mapping from D × D to D satisfying the condition  < max {kx − zk , ky − tk} , if (x, y) 6= (z, t) and x 6= y or z 6= t, kA(x, y) − A(z, t)k  ≤ kx − zk = ky − tk , if x = y and z = t,

(3.4.8)

for all x, y, z, t ∈ D. Assume that either D is compact or A maps D × D into a compact subset of D. Then the equation A (x, x) = x

(3.4.9)

has a unique solution in D. Moreover every equation xn = A(xn , xn−1 ), n ≥ 0,

(3.4.10)

has also a unique solution xn and the sequence {xn } defined by (3.4.10) converges to the solution of equation (3.4.9) for any x0 ∈ D. Remark 3.4.3 If instead of (3.4.9) under the assumptions as in Theorem 3.4.10 we use the Picard iteration for A∗ (x) = A (x, x) as in [105] by L.P. Belluce and W.A. Kirk, in [111] by F.E. Browder, in [149] by M. Edelstein, in [273] by W.V. Petryshyn and T.E. Williamson, etc., then obviously it is impossible to assert either the existence or the convergence of the approximate solution for equation (3.4.10). In what follows some simple examples will be shown. Example 3.4.1 Let us consider the set D of C(−∞, +∞) with elements defined as follows x (t) ∈ D if |x (t)| ≤ M, M is a constant, x (k) = 0 for all integers k ∈ Z, 2 (t − k) x (k + 1/2) , for t ∈ [k, k + 1/2] x (t) = 2 (k + 1 − tx (k + 1/2)) , for t ∈ [k + 1/2, k + 1] |x (k + 1/2)| ≤ |x (k + 3/2)| for all k ∈ Z. Let A (x, y) =

x (t + 1) + y (t + 1) , ∀x (t) , y (t) ∈ D, 2 + kx − yk / (kx − yk + M )

where kx − yk =

sup t∈(−∞,∞)

kx (t) − y (t)k .

Mapping A satisfies all conditions of Theorem 3.4.10. Hence for any x0 (t) ∈ D, the sequence xn (t) = A (xn (t) , xn−1 (t)) must converge to the solution of (3.4.10) x (k + 1/2) = x (k + 3/2) , ∀k ∈ Z (including x (t) ≡ 0). On the other hand the iteration xn = A (xn−1 , xn−1 ) may have got any limit point when, for instance, x0 (t) is such that: x0 (k0 + 1/2) < x0 (k0 + 3/2) for some k0 ∈ Z.

3. Contractive Fixed Point Theory

Example 3.4.2 Let D = lp , 1 < p < ∞, A (x, y) =

τy exp (kx − yk)

where τ : x = (x1 , x2 , . . .) 7−→ τ x = (0, x1 , x2 , . . .) , x ∈ lp . Finally for arbitrary x0 = (x01 , x02 , . . .) , x01 6= 0, the sequence defined by (3.4.10) converges to 0 as n → ∞.

A Special iteration method

The convergence of the iteration algorithm based on the algorithmic function x → αx + (1 − α) A(x) is analyzed, where A : Rn → Rn is a point to point mapping, and the coefficient α may change during the process. We consider iteration methods of the form xk+1 = αk xk + (1 − αk ) A(xk )

(3.5.1)

where A : D → D with D ⊆ Rn being convex, and for all k, 0 ≤ αk < 1. The convexity of D implies that the iteration sequence exists for arbitrary x0 ∈ D. In Section 3.1 the convergence of this procedure was studied for the special case, when A is a contraction and αk ≡ α for all k. This result was further generalized for the nonstationary case [99]. These earlier results guarantee the convergence of process (3.5.1) in cases when the original algorithm zk+1 = A (zk )

(3.5.2)

also converges to the unique fixed point of mapping A. In this section we will find convergence condition even in the cases when the original process (3.5.2) diverges. In such cases the optimal selection of the weights αk will also be determined. The following conditions will be assumed: (A) kA (x) − z ∗ k ≤ K (x) kx − z ∗ k , for all x ∈ D,

(3.5.3)

where z ∗ ∈ D is a fixed point of A, k·k is the Euclidean norm, and K : D → R is a real valued function; (B) T

(x − z ∗ ) (A (x) − z ∗ ) ≤ β (x) kx − z ∗ k , for all x ∈ D, where β : D → R is a real valued function.

3.5. A Special iteration method

65

Before analyzing the convergence of process (3.5.1), some comments are in order. If mapping A is bounded on D, that is, if kA (x) − A (y)k ≤ K kx − yk , the constant function K (x) ≡ K. If mapping −A is monotonic, that is, if T

(x − z) (A (x) − A (y)) ≤ 0 for all x, y ∈ D, then we may select β (x) ≡ 0. The Cauchy-Schwartz inequality implies that for all x ∈ D T

2

(x − z ∗ ) (A (x) − z ∗ ) ≤ kx − z ∗ k · kA (x) − z ∗ k ≤ K (x) kx − z ∗ k . Therefore we may assume that β (x) ≤ K (x) , otherwise we may replace β (x) by K (x) . Under assumptions (A) and (B) 2

1 + Kk2 − 2βk ≥ 1 + Kk2 − 2Kk = (1 − Kk ) ≥ 0, this is the case if and only if Kk = βk = 1. In this special case p (αk ) ≡ 1. Otherwise the stationary point of function p is α∗ =

Kk2 − βk , 1 + Kk2 − 2βk

which is in [0, 1) if and only if βk ≤ Kk2 and βk < 1. Easy calculation shows that p (α∗ ) =

Kk2 − βk2 , 1 + Kk2 − 2βk

which is below 1 − ε (where ε is small) when (βk − 1) ≥ ε. 1 + Kk2 − 2βk If α∗ ∈ / [0, 1), then min {p (α) : 0 ≤ α ≤ 1} =

Kk2 , if Kk ≤ 1, 1, if Kk > 1.

The above iteration can be summarized as follows. Theorem 3.5.1 Assume that for each k ≥ 0, either Kk ≤ 1 − δ, βk > Kk2 ; or Kk ≤ 1, βk ≤ Kk2 , βk ≤ 1 − δ; or 1 < Kk ≤ Q, βk ≤ 1 − δ, where δ and Q are fixed constants. Then with appropriate selection of αk , kxk+1 − z ∗ k ≤ (1 − ε) kxk − z ∗ k for all k with some ε > 0, therefore the process converges to z ∗ . Assume next that K (x) ≡ K and β (x) ≡ β for all x ∈ D. Then the theorem reduces to the following result. Theorem 3.5.2 Assume that either K < 1, or K ≥ 1 and β < 1. Then the process converges to z ∗ with the appropriate selection of the coefficients αk . Corollary 3.5.3 If mapping A is bounded and −A is monotonic, then all conditions of Theorem 3.5.2 are satisfied. In this special case the best selection for αk is the following αk =

K2 , for all k. 1 + K2

3.5. A Special iteration method

This relation follows from (3.5.5) and the fact that in this case K (x) ≡ K and β (x) ≡ 0. Example 3.5.1 Consider equation x = −2x, that is, select D = R, A (x) = −2x, and z ∗ = 0. Mapping A is bounded and K = 2. The original iteration process xk+1 = A (zk ) does not converge for x0 6= 0. However, by selecting αk = 45 , the modified process has the form xk+1 =

The iteration procedure is convergent, if for all k, the optimal objective function value is below 1 − ε with some fixed small ε > 0. Since for all k, the constraints are linear, the solution of problem (3.5.7) is a simple task. Process (3.5.6) can be further generalized as xk+1 = Fk (A1 (xk ) , . . . , AI (xk )) ,

Finally we note that D may be a subset of an infinite dimensional Euclidean space, and in the last result k·k is not necessarily the Euclidean norm.

Stability of the Ishikawa iteration

Let X be an uniformly real smooth Banach space and T : X → X be Φ-strongly pseudocontractive mapping with the bounded range. It is shown that Ishikawa iteration procedures are almost T -stable and half T -stable. our results improve and extend corresponding results announced by others. Let X be a real Banach space and J the normalized duality mapping from X ∗ into 2X given by 2

J(x) = {f ∈ X ∗ : hx, f i = kxk = kf k },

3.6. Stability of the Ishikawa iteration

69

where X ∗ denotes the dual space of X and h·, ·i denotes the generalized duality pairing. It is well known that if X ∗ is strictly convex then J is single-valued and such that J(tx) = tJ(x) for all t ≥ 0 and x ∈ X, and if X ∗ is uniformly convex, then J is uniformly continuous on the bounded subsets of X. In the sequel we shall denote the single-valued normalized duality mapping by j. Definition 3.6.1 A mapping T with domain D(T ) and range R(T ) in X is called Φ-strongly pseudocontraction if for all x, y ∈ D(T ) there exist j(x − y) ∈ J(x − y) and a strictly increasing function Φ : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) with Φ(0) = 0 such that 2

hT x − T y, j(x − y)i ≤ kx − yk − Φ(kx − yk) kx − yk

(3.6.1)

T is called strongly pseudocontraction if there exists k > 0 such that (3.6.1) is satisfied with Φ(t) = kt, and it is called Φ-hemicontractive if the nullspace of T, N (T ) = {x ∈ D(T ); T x = 0} is nonempty and (3.6.1) is satisfied for all x ∈ D(T ) but y ∈ N (T ). Furthermore, the class of strongly pseudocontraction mapping is a proper subclass of the class of Φ-strongly pseudocontraction mappings. Recently, some stability results for certain classes of nonlinear maps have been researched by several authors, the study topic on stability is both of theoretical and of numerical interest. In order to prove the main results of the paper, we need the following some concepts. Let mK be a nonempty convex subset of a real banach space X and T be a self-mapping of K. Let {αn } be a real sequence in [0, ∞). Assume that x0 ∈ K and xn+1 = f (T, xn , αn ) defines an iteration procedure which yields a sequence of points {xn } in K. Suppose, furthermore, that F (T ) = {x ∈ X : T x = x} 6= ∅ and that {xn } converges strongly to x∗ ∈ F (T ). Let {yn }∞ n=0 be any sequence in K and + {εn }∞ a sequence in R = [0, ∞) given by ε = ky n n+1 − f (T, yn , αn )k . n=0 Definition 3.6.2 1) If lim εn = 0 implies that lim yn = x∗ , then the iteration n→∞

by xn+1 = f (T, xn , αn ) is said to be almost T -stable. 3) If εn = o(αn ) implies that lim yn = x∗ , then the iteration procedure {xn } n→∞

defined by xn+1 = f (T, xn , αn ) is said to be half T -stable. ∞ P 4) If εn = ε′n + ε′′n with ε′n < ∞ and ε′′n = o(αn ) implies that lim yn = x∗ , n=1

n→∞

then the iteration procedure {xn } defined by xn+1 = f (T, xn , αn ) is said to be weakly T -stable.

We remark immediatly that, if an iterative sequence {xn } is T -stable, then it is weakly T -stable and, if the iterative sequence {xn } is weakly T -stable, then it is both almost and half T -stable. Conversly, it is evident that an iterative sequence {xn } which is either almost or half T -stable may fail to be weakly T -stable. Accordingly, it is of important theoretical interest for us to study the weak stability.

Then the Ishikawa iteration procedure {xn }∞ n=1 is half T -stable. Proof. Let q denote the unique fixed point of T. Let εn = o(αn ) → 0 as n → ∞. It suffices to prove that yn → q as n → ∞.

Since βn → 0 and en → 0 as n → ∞, then there exists some integer N1 such that M 2 βn + 2en − 2Φ(δ)δ < 0 for all n > N1 . Thus we have kτn − qk ≤ kyn − qk and −Φ(kτn − qk) kτn − qk ≥ −Φ(kyn − qk) kyn − qk

Chapter 4

Solving Smooth Equations In this chapter we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space. The Newton-Kantorovich method is undoubtedly the most popular method for solving such equations. The theoretical importance of this method should be also emphasized, since using it we can draw conclusions about the existence, uniqueness and domain of distribution of solutions without finding the solution itself, this being sometimes of greater value than the actual knowledge of the solution.

4.1

Linearization of Equations

Let F be a Fr6chet-differentiable operator mapping an open and convex subset D of a Banach space X into a Banach space Y. Consider the equation

F (x) = 0.

(4.1.1)

The principal method for constructing approximations x, to a solution x* (if it exists) of Equations (4.1.1) is based on successive linearization of the equation. Assuming that an approximation x, has been found, we compute the next x,+l by replacing Equation (4.1.1) by

If F' (x,)-I

E L (Y, X), then approximation x,+l is given by

The iterative procedure generated by (4.1.3) is the famous Newton or NewtonKantorovich method [205]. Iterates {x,) ( n 0) are not always easy to compute. First, x, may fall outside the set D for a certain n, and secondly, even if this does not happen, F' (x,)-'

may not exist. If sequence {x,) converges to x* and xo is chosen sufficiently close to x*,the operations F' (x,) and F' (xo)will differ only by a small amount due to the continuity of F'. Therefore the modified Newton-Kantorovich method

Yn+l = Yn - F' (YO)-' F (yn) (n2 0) (yo = XO)

(4.1.4)

can also be used to approximate x*. Method (4.1.4) is easier to use than (4.1.3) since the inverses are computed only once and for all. However the latter method yields worse approximations.

4.2

The Newton-Kantorovich Method

Define the operator

P on D by

P(x)= x - F1(x)-IF (x)

(4.2.1)

Then the Newton-Kantorovich method may be regarded as the usual iterative method

for approximating the fixed point x* of the equation

x = P (x)

(4.2.3)

Consequently, all the results of the previous chapters involving Equation (4.2.3) are applicable. Suppose that lim x, = x*

We would like to know under what conditions on F and F' the point x* is a solution of Equation (4.1.1). Proposition 4.2.1 If F' is continuous at x = x* E

D,then we have (4.2.5)

Proof. The approximations x, satisfy the equation

4.2. The Newton-Kantorovich Method

93

Remark 4.2.1 It is well known (see, e.g., [207]) that conclusions of Theorem 4.2.4 hold, if we assume operator F is only once Re'chet differentiable; conditions (4.2.14), (4.2.16), (4.2.17) are replaced by Lipschitz condition

and the so-called Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis

The advantages ofpresenting the results in afine invariant form have been explained in [143].

Remark 4.2.2 Although upper bounds on the Lipschitz K have already been given by severala authors [6], [68], [99], [129], [13O], (1341, [141], [143], (1451, [180], [183], [207], [210], [211], [213], [223], [257], [263], [264], [288], and for large classes of operators F (see also the exercises at the end of the Chapters 1 and 4) here we decided to provide an interesting and nontrivial example where in contrast to the results mentioned in the references above, the actual value o f t and not just an upper bound can be obtained. Example 4.2.1 Assume that the second Fre'chet derivative of F is a quadratic integral operator Q, where [Ft'(x)vw]( s ) = Q ( x ) ( s )=

Convergence under Twice-F'r6chet Differentiability Only at a Point

Recently Hu and Ding in [I961 being motivated by our work in [91] provided a semilocal convergence analysis for method (4.1.3), assuming that operator F is continuously twice F'rBchet-differentiable only at the initial guess xo. The order of convergence according to their analysis is only linear. Here we show that the order of convergence is quadratic and under weaker hypotheses. The local case not considered in [I961 is also covered here. Finally a numerical example is provided to show how our results can be applied.

4.4.1 Semilocal Convergence Analysis for Comparison Reasons We can state the following semilocal convergence result for Newton's method whose proof can be found in [I961 (see also our proof in Theorem 4.2.4): Theorem 4.4.1 Let X , Y be Banach spaces, and F : D C X + Y be a twice continuously Fre'chet-diflerentiable operator at some xo E D. The hypothesis on the operator F implies: for all E > 0 there exists 6 = 6 ( ~>) 0 such that

Next we show how to improve on the above result. We can obtain the following local result for method (4.1.3)corresponding to Theorem 4.4.1.

and

Furthermore the solution x* is unique in U(xo,6) if a06 < 1. Proof. We first show operator F' (x)-' is invertible for all x E U ( x o 6). , Indeed we can obtain the identity:

By hypotheses we get

holds. We can certainly choose E = EO in (4.4.3). However in case strict inequality holds in (4.4.23) more precise error bounds can be obtained. Conditions (4.4.3) and (4.4.4) certainly hold if operator F is twice continuously Re'chet-diferentiable. (b) If condition (4.4.3) is replaced by

This case was considered in [196](see Theorem 1). However the stronger condition that operator F is actually twice continuously Frkchet-differentiable was imposed and the convergence of the sequence {x,) is only linear. (c) Note that even in the case of Theorem 4.4.2 using (4.4.9, (4.4.4) instead of (4.4.22)' and (4.4.4) essentially used there the results can be weaker provided that

We can prove the following local convergence theorem for Newton's method:

Theorem 4.4.3 Let F : D C_ X + Y be a twice-Fre'chet diferentiable operator. Assume: (a) there exists a solution x* of equation F ( x ) = 0 such that F f ( x * ) - l E L(Y,X I ; (b) for all EO > 0, E > 0, t E [ O i l ] there exist 6 = 6 ( ~EO, , t ) and b > 0 such that:

Moreover according to the analog of the proof of Theorem 4.4.1 the order of convergence would have been only linear. We provide an example for Theorem 4.4.3.

Moreover if (4.4.33), (4.4.34) are used instead of (4.4.26) and (4.4.213 respectively, then for F = .999 we obtain using (4.4.35) that r ; = .0010005. Choosing 6 < .368 all conditions hold but r;

(4.4.38)

Hence in this case our Theorem 4.4.3 provides a wider range of initial guesses xo than the corresponding one mentioned in Remark 4.4.2. Furthermore the order of convergence is quadratic instead of only linear. Remark 4.4.3 If only (4.4.33) is used it can easily be seen by (4.4.21) that

Newton-like methods We provide a local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for Newton-like methods in a Banach space setting under very relaxed conditions.

5.1

Two-point methods

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x* of the nonlinear equation

where F, G are operators defined on a closed ball u ( w , R) centered at point w and of radius R > 0, which is a subset of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y. F is F'rkchet-differentiable on g ( w , R), while the differentiability of operator G is not assumed. However we note that the actual condition (4) (see below) used here implies the continuity (but not necessarily the differentiability) of operator G on u ( w , R). We use the two-point Newton-like method

to generate a sequence converging to x*. Here A(x, y) E L(X, Y), for each fixed x, y E p ( w , R). Special cases of method (5.1.2) have already been studied. For example: if A(x, y) = Ft(y) and G(x) = 0 we obtain the Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3); if A(%,y) = [x, y; F], and G(x) = 0 method (5.1.2) reduces to the Secant method; if A(x,y) = Ff(y), we obtain the Zincenko iteration, and for A(x, y) = A(y) (A(x) E L(X, Y)) we obtain the Newton-like method studied. Our motivation originates from the following observation: Consider the scalar Then for the initial equation F(d) = d3 - p = 0 on interval b,2 - p] (p E [0, guess do = 1, the famous Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis, which is the sufficient convergence condition for the convergence of Newton's method to x* is violated.

i)).

122

5. Newton-like methods

Therefore under the Newton-Kantorovich theorem 4.2.4 there is no guarantee that method (4.1.3) converges to x* in this case. However one can easily see that Newton's method indeed converges for several values of p, say p E [O, .46) (see also Example 5.1.3). Therefore one expects that the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51) can be weakened. In order for us to cover a wider range of problems and present a finer unified convergence analysis for iterative methods we decided to introduce method (5.1.2). We provide a local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for method (5.1.2) under very relaxed hypotheses (see (5.1.3), (5.1.4)). Since we are further motivated by optimization considerations, our new idea is to use center-Lipschitz conditions instead of Lipschitz conditions for the upper bounds on the inverses of the linear operators involved. It turns out that this way we obtain more precise majorizing sequences 12631. Moreover, despite the fact that our conditions are more general than related ones already in the literature, we can provide weaker sufficient convergence conditions, and finer estimates on the distances involved. Several applications are provided: e.g., in the semilocal case we show that the famous for its simplicity and transparency Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (see (4.2.51)) is weakened (see (5.1.57)), whereas in the local case we can provide a larger convergence radius using the same information (see (5.1.131) and (5.1.132)). Assume there exists fixed v E X such that v E g ( w , R), A(v, w)-' E L(Y,X ) , and for any x, y, z E r ( w , r) 2 r ( w , R), r E [0, R], t E [0, 11, the following hold: l l ~ ( vw)-'[A(x, , Y) - A(v, w>lll I 0 o ( b - vll, I

To show uniqueness in V ( w ,t * ) ,let y* be a solution of equation (5.1.1) in V ( w ,t*).Then as in (5.1.31) we obtain the identity:

Operator A ( x ) is intended there to be an approximation t o the Frdchet-derivative F 1 ( x ) of F . However we also want the choice of the operator A to be more flexible, and be related to the difference G ( z ) - G ( y ) for all y, z E U ( w ,R) (see Application 5.1.1 and Example 5.1.1). (b) If we choose

for all x , y E U ( w , r ) , q, q l , q2, q3 E [O,r], t E [O, 11 we obtain the NewtonKantorovich method (4.1.3) (see also Application 5.1.4). (c) Assume:

Define F = 0 , A ( x , Y ) = [Y,x ; GI, G ( x ) - G ( Y ) = [ z ,Y ;G l ( z - Y ) , %?l, q2, q3, t ) = d?(q2, q3)q2 where [ z ,y; GI is a divided digerenee of order one for G (see Chapter 2), and $ is a continuous nondecreasing function in two variables. Then note that function was used in [I901 in the case of the secant method. Note also that obviously (5.1.4) implies again the continuity of operator G for this special choice of function 8.

If the hypotheses of Theorem 5.1.2 hold for the above choices, the conclusions follow. Note that conditions (5.1.49)-(5.1.52) are weaker than the corresponding ones in [117,pp. 48-49], [99].Indeed, conditions IIF1(x)-F1(y)I15 &IIx-yll, IIA(x, y)-l11 I e 6 , II[x,Y,~;G]II I e 7 , and

Example 5.1.1 Let X = Y = (R2, 11 -

In the application that follows we show that the famous Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (see (5.1.58)) is weakened under the same hypotheses/information. Application 5.1.4 Returning back to Remark 5.1.3 and (5.1.dl), iteration (5.1.2) reduces to the famous Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3). Condition (5.1.6) reduces to:

5. Newton-like methods

Example 5.1.4 Let X = Y = C[O,11 the space of continuous functions on [O,1] equipped with the sup-norm. Consider the integral equation on ~ ( X O;),, ( r E [0,R ] ) given by

where the kernel k ( t , s , x ( s ) ) with ( t ,s ) E [O,1]x [ O , l ] is a nondi~erentiableoperator on ( x o ,;). Define operators F , G on U ( x o , ); by F ( x ) ( t ) = I x ( t ) ( I the identity operator) f1

Choose xo = 0 , and assume there exists a constant kl ( t ,s ) such that

In order to cover the local case, let us assume x* is a zero of equation (5.1.1), A ( x * , x*)-l exists and for any x , y E U ( x * ,r ) G r ( x * ,R), r E [0,R],t E [0,11:

where, $0, $1 are as 60, 0 (in three variables), respectively. In order for us to compare our results with earlier ones, we only consider the case ro = 0 , x-1 = u , xo = w in (5.1.2), and call the corresponding sequence {x,) instead of {y,). Then as in the identity (5.1.36) and estimate (5.1.37) with y*, v , w , replaced by x*, x*, x* respectively but using (5.1.122), (5.1.123), instead of (5.1.4), (5.1.5) we can show along the lines of the proof of the uniqueness part of Theorem 5.1.2 the following local result for method (5.1.2).

5.1. Two-point methods Theorem 5.1.9 Assume: there exist solutions of equation

f ( A ) = 0, in [0,R] where

Denote by A* the smallest of the solutions in [0,r ] . Then, sequence {x,) ( n 2 -1) generated by Newton-like method (5.1.2) is well defined, remains in U ( x * ,A*) for all n 2 0 and converges to x* provided that x-1, xo E U ( x * ,A*). Moreover the following estimates hold for all n 2 0:

where,

Application 5.1.10 Let us again consider Newton's method, i.e., F 1 ( x )= A ( x , y), G ( x ) = 0, and assume:

and

go ( r ,r ) = Aor

where -

-

h3 = 0, h l ( r ) = & ( r ) = Ar, for all r E [O, R ] .

Using (5.1.128), (5.1.129) we get:

Local results were not given in (1211, [138], [351], [363]. However Rheinboldt in [295] showed that under only (129) (call the corresponding radius AR" in this case) the convergence radius is given by

5. Newton-like methods But i n general (5.1.133)

Hence we conclude: ARH 5 A*.

The corresponding estimates become:

where,

and

That is

If strict inequality holds in (5.1.133) then (5.1.134) and (5.1.139) hold as strict inequalities also (see also Example 5.1.4). Remark 5.1.10 A s noted in [68], (1121, (991, [142], [143], [355]-[359], the local results obtained here can be used for projection methods such as Arnoldi's, the generalized minimum residual method (GMRES), the generalized conjugate residual method (GCR), for combined Newton/finite projection methods and i n connection with the mesh independence principle to develop the cheapest and most eficient mesh refinement strategies. Remark 5.1.11 The local results can also be used to solve equations of the form F ( x ) = 0, where F' satisfies the autonomous diflerential equation [68]:

where, P : Y + X is a known continuous operator. Since F1(x*)= P ( F ( x * ) )= P(O), we can apply our results without actually knowing the solution x* of equation (5.1.1).

5.1. Two-point methods

143

Example 5.1.5 Let X = Y = R,U ( x * ,R) and define function F on U ( 0 , l ) by

and F'(x*)-~[IIF'(x) - F'(x*)II]5 ( e - 1)11x - x* 11. That is A. = e - 1. By (5.1.131) and (5.1.132) we get

and A* = .324947231. That is our convergence radius A* is larger than the corresponding one A R due ~ to Rheinboldt [295] and our error bounds (5.1.137) are also finer than (5.1.138) so that (5.1 .I 39) holds as a strict inequality. If we define

we can choose -

OO(r,r ) = er 4

and -

O(r,r , t ) = e [ ( l- t)rI4.

Solving equation (5.1.124) with the above choices we obtain

whereas (5.1.132) for A = 9e gives A R= ~ .027250329. Hence again our convergence radius A* constitutes a significant improvement over ARH.

144

5. Newton-like methods

Finally note that all these improvements are made using the same hypotheses/information as in the earlier results. This observation is important in computational mathematics, since a wider choice of initial guesses xo becomes available (see also Remark 5.1.10). Remark 5.1.12 The results obtained here can be extended to m-point methods (m > 2 an integer) [85], and can be used in the solution of variational inequalities (see chapter 10). However we leave the details to the motivated reader.

5.2

Relaxing the convergence conditions

In this section we further relax conditions (5.1.64) and (5.1.65). For simplicity we set G(x) = 0 for all x E D. We consider Newton-like methods of the form:

where A(x) E L(X,Y) (x E D) to approximate x* solving equation (5.1.1). The conditions used so far (see section 5.1) can be summarized as follows: For all x, y E U(xo, R), A(xo)-l E L(Y, X), R > 0,

and R is such that

where v, vo, vl are nondecreasing nonnegative functions defined on [0,R]. Our motivation for introducing conditions weaker than (5.2.2)-(5.2.4) can be seen from the following example in the case of Newton's method. Let X = Y = R, and D = [0,m). Define F on D by

where cl, cz are real parameters and i > 2 an integer. Set vo(r) = v(r) = vl(r) = r . Then F1(x) = xlli cl is not Lipschitz on D. That is conditions (5.2.2)-(5.2.4) do not hold in this case. Therefore we need to introduce conditions that will cover such cases. Indeed we assume instead of (5.2.2)-(5.2.4) that the following weaker centerLipschitz conditions hold:

+

5.2. Relaxing the convergence conditions where functions wo, w l are as vo, v l . Further introduce the conditions:

and

We call by (C) conditions (5.2.5), (5.2.7)-(5.2.10). Clearly w o ( r ) I v ( r ) , w l ( r ) l v l ( r ) and a l v ( R ) f o r a l l r € [ O , R ] ,

can be arbitrarily large. Moreover hold in general. Moreover and wo, w l and a are easier to compute than v and v l . Note that returning back to the example given by (5.2.6) and setting w o ( r ) = w l ( r ) = r and for say xo = 1, we obtain

That is conditions (C) can be used in this case. Here motivated by the above we provide a local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for method (5.2.1). Certain examples are also provided. It is convenient to define functions q and f on ( 0 ,R] by

q ( r ) = wO(r) w l ( r ) a , provided that w l (r) # 1, 1 - w I(r) +

+

wo(r) a [I+ l-wl(r) +

+r-ai;i]7,

provided that w l ( r ) # 1 and q ( r ) # 1.

We can now state and prove the main semilocal convergence theorem for Newtonlike method (5.2.1): Theorem 5.2.1 Under conditions (C) assume: (a) r < R and function f has fixed points i n [q,R]; Denote by ro the smallest; and (b)

w l ( r o ) < 1 and

q(r0) < 1.

(5.2.15)

Then sequence {xn) ( n > 0 ) generated by Newton-like method (5.2.1) is well defined, remains i n U ( x o , r o ) and converges to a unique solution x* E U ( x o ,r o ) of equation F ( x ) = 0 . Moreover the following estimates hold for all n 2 0:

Moreover the following estimates hold for all n 2 0:

Proof. By simply replacing y*, 20, W O , W I , a , q, f by x*, x*, W O ,W1, zi, ij, f respectively in (5.2.25) and using (5.2.27)-(5.2.32) instead of (5.2.7)-(5.2.9), (5.2.12), (5.2.13), we obtain

5. Newton-like methods

We complete this study with a n example where (5.2.3) holds but (5.2.2) fails. For simplicity we take A ( x ) = F 1 ( x ) ( x E D ) . Let us illustrate the previous results with an example.

Example 5.2.1 W e consider the integral equation

Here, f is a given continuous function satisfying f ( s ) > 0, s E [a,b], X is a real number, and the kernel G is continuous and positive i n [a,b] x [a,b]. For instance, when G ( s , t ) is the Green kernel, the corresponding integral equation is equivalent to the boundary value problem

These kinds of problems have been also treated in [134]. Equations like (5.2.42) are a type of generalixation of equation of the form

studied by Davis [134]. Instead of (5.2.42) we can try t o solve the equation F ( u ) = 0 where F : R G C [ a , b ]+ C [ a , b ] , R = { u E C [ a ,b] : u ( s ) L 0 , s

First of all, we notice that F' does not satisfy a Lipschitx-type condition i n R. Let us consider, for instance, [a,b] = [O, 11, G ( s , t ) = 1 and y ( t ) = 0. Then F 1 ( y ) v ( s )= v ( s ) and

If F' were a Lipschitz function, then

If these are substituted into (5.2.43),

This inequality is not true when j + CQ. Therefore, condition (5.2.2) fails in this case. However, condition (5.2.3) holds. To show this, let xo(t) = f ( t ) and a = minsE[a,b~ f ( s ) ,a > 0. Then, for v E 0 ,

A fast method

It turns out that special choices of linear operator A introduced in Section 5.2 can increase the order of convergence. In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a solution x* of the nonlinear equation

where F is a Frkchet-differentiable operator defined on an open subset D of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y.

5. Newton-like methods

152

The secant method is the most popular iterative procedure using two previous iterates and divided differences of order one for approximating x*. The order of the Secant method is 1.618.. . . In the elegant paper of F.A. Potra [277]a three point method was used and divided differences of order one (see also (8.1.24) and (8.1.25)). This method is of order 1.839.. .. More recently Secant-like methods of order between 1.618. . . and 1.839. . . were introduced in the works of Hernandez, Gutierrez et al. [186]-[191].The question arises if it is then possible to realize an iterative method using two previous iterates and divided differences of only order one with at least quadratic convergence. It turns out that this is possible. Indeed we introduce the method

for approximating x*. Here, a linear operator from X into Y , denoted by [ x ,y; F ] or simply [ x ,y] which satisfies the condition

is called a divided difference of order one. Iteration (5.3.2) has a geometrical interpretation similar to the Secant method in the scalar case. We provide a local and semilocal convergence analysis for method (5.3.2) using Lipschitz-type conditions and the majorant principle. The monotone convergence of method (5.3.2) is also examined on partially ordered topological spaces. We can show the following local convergence result for method (5.3.2). Theorem 5.3.1 Let F be a nonlinear operator defined on an open subset D of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y . Assume: equation F ( x ) = 0 has a solution x* E D at which the Fre'chet derivative F f ( x * ) exists, and is invertible; operator F is Fre'chet-diferentiable with divided diference of order one on Do G D satisfying the Lipschitz conditions:

Hence, sequence {x,} (n -1) is well defined, remains in U(x*,r * ) for all n -1 and converges to x*. Let x, y, x E Do, and define the divided differences of order two of operator F at the points x, y and x denoted by [x,y, x] by

instead of (5.3.4) and (5.3.5). Note that (5.3.19) implies (5.3.4) and (5.3.5). Moreover we have:

and

Therefore stronger condition (5.3.19) can replace (5.3.4), (5.3.6) and (5.3.9) i n Theorem 5.3.1. Assuming F has divided differences of order two, condition (5.3.6) can be replaced by the stronger

or the even stronger

Note also that

converges to x* with order 1.839.. . which is the solution of the scalar equation

Potra in [236] has also shown how to compute the Lipschitz constants appearing here in some cases. It follows from (5.3.11) that there exist co, N sufficiently large such that:

I ~ x ~ -x*II + ~

for a11n2 N.

(5.3.28)

Hence the order of convergence for method (5.3.2) is essentially at least two, which is higher than 1.839.. . . Note also that the radius of convergence r* given by (5.3.9) is larger than the corresponding one given in [[236],estimate (5.3.22)]. This observation is very important since it allows a wider choice of initial guesses x-1 and xo. It turns out that our convergence radius r* given by (5.3.9) can even be larger than the one given by Rheinboldt [295] (see, e.g., Remark 4.2 in [277])for Newton's method. Indeed under condition (5.3.19) radius rk is given by

We showed in Section 5.1 that have: rk

(or %) can be arbitrarily large. Hence we can

< r*.

(5.3.30)

In 5.1 we also showed that rk is enlarged under the same hypotheses and computational cost as in [247]. We note that condition (5.3.10) suffices to hold only for x, y being iterates of method (5.3.2) (see, e.g., Example 5.3.2). Condition (5.3.24) can be removed if D = X. In this case (5.3.7) is also satisfied. Delicate condition (5.3.9) can also be replaced by stronger but more practical one which we decided not to introduce originally in Theorem 5.3.1, so we can leave the result as uncluttered-general as possible. Indeed, define ball Ul by U1 = U (x*,R*)

with

R* = 3r*.

If xn-l,xn E U* (n L 0) then we conclude 22, - xn-1 E Ul (n 2 0). This is true since it follows from the estimates

Hence the proof of Theorem 5.3.1 goes through if both conditions (5.3.7), (5.3.9) are replaced by

u1 c Do. We provide an example to justify estimate (5.3.30).

Remark 5.3.2 (a) It follows from (5.3.42), (5.3.43), (5.3.50) and (5.3.55) that the order of convergence of scalar sequence {t,} and iteration {x,} is quadratic. (b) The conclusions of Theorem 5.3.2 hold i n a weaker setting. Indeed assume:

The resulting majorizing sequence call it {s,) is also converging to zero and is finer than {t,) because of (5.3.66)

A simple numerical example follows to show: (a) how to choose divided difference in method (5.3.2); (b) method (5.3.2) is faster than the Secant method [68]

(c) method (5.3.2) can be as fast as Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3) Note that the analytical representation of F f ( x n ) may be complicated which makes the use of method (5.3.2) very attractive.

We conclude this section with an example involving a nonlinear integral equation: Example 5.3.3 Let H ( x , t ,x ( t ) ) be a continuous function of its arguments which is sufficiently many times differentiable with respect to x . It can easily be seen that i f operator F i n (5.3.1) is given by

then divided difference of order one appearing in (5.3.2) can be defined as h n ( s ,t ) =

H ( s , t , 2 x n ( t ) - xn-I ( t ) )- H ( s , t ,2,-1 ( t ) ) > 2(xn( t )- xn-1 ( t ) )

provided that if for t = t, we get x,(t) = ~ , - ~ ( tthen ) , the above function equals Note that this way h,(s, t ) is continuous for all t E [0, 11. HL(s, t,, x,(t,)).

W e refer the reader t o Chapter 2 for the concepts concerning partially ordered topological spaces (POTL-spaces). The monotone convergence o f method (5.3.2) is examined in the next result. Theorem 5.3.4 Let F be a nonlinear operator defined on an open subset of a regular POTL-space X with values in a POTL-space Y. Let xo, yo, y-1 be points 0.f D such that:

Moreover assume: there exists a divided difference [., .] : D all ( x ,y) E Dz with x 5 y

such that for (5.3.87)

Furthermore, assume that for any ( x ,y) E 0: with x I y, and ( x ,2y - x ) E D i the linear operator [ x ,2y - x ] has a continuous non-singular, non-negative left subinverse. Then there exist two sequences { x n } (n 2 I ) , { y n ) (n 2 I ) , and two points x*, y* of X such that for all n 2 0:

lim xn = x*,

lim yn = y*

n+m

Finally, if linear operators An = [yn-l, 2yn - yn-I] are inverse non-negative, then any solution of the equation F ( x ) = 0 from the interval Do belongs to the interval ( x * ,y*) (i.e., xo I v I yo and F ( v ) = 0 imply x* I v I y*). Proof. Let & be a continuous non-singular, non-negative left subinverse o f Ao. Define the operator Q : (0,yo - x o ) + X by

It is easy t o see that Q is isotone and continuous. W e also have:

According to Kantorovich's theorem 2.2.2 on POTL-spaces [99],[272],operator Q has a fixed point w E ( 0 ,yo - xo). Set xl = xo w.Then we get

By (5.3.88) and (5.3.94) we deduce:

Consider the operator H: ( 0 ,yo - xl) + X given by

Operator H is clearly continuous, isotone and we have:

By Kantorovich's theorem there exists a point z E (0, yo - xl) such that H ( z ) = z . Set yl = yo - z to obtain

Using (5.3.88), (5.3.95) we get:

Proceeding by induction we can show that there exist two sequences {x,) ( n 2 I), {y,) ( n 2 1) satisfying (5.3.89)-(5.3.92) in a regular space X , and as such they converge to points x*,y* E X respectively. We obviously have x* I y*. If xo 5 uI yo and F ( u ) = 0 , then we can write

If the operator A. is inverse non-negative then it follows that xl 5 u 5 yl. Proceeding by induction we deduce that x, < u 5 y, holds for all n 0. Hence we conclude

Remark 5.3.3 Hypotheses of Theorem 5.3.4 can be weakened along the lines of Remarks 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 above and the works i n [277, pp.102-1051, or Chapter 2 on the monotone convergence of Newton-like methods.

More Results on Newton's Method We exploit the weaker conditions introduced in Section 5 to improve on recent results on the local and semilocal convergence analysis of Newton's method.

6.1

Convergence radii for the Newton-Kantorovich method

Motivated by the works in Wang [341], [343] and using the same type of weak Lipschitz conditions we show that a larger convergence radius can be obtained for Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3). Recently in [341], [343] a Lipschitz-type condition

for all x E D, where L is an integrable, nondecreasing, nonnegative function, s(x) = IIx - x* 11 and xe = x* O(x - x*) 0 E [0, 11,was used to obtain larger convergence radii than the ones given by the relevant works in [136], [340], [312]. Condition (6.1.1) is weaker than the famous Lipschitz condition

+

where w is also a nondecreasing, nonnegative function. Condition (6.1.2) has been used e.g. in [295] (when w is a constant function). It turns out that (6.1.1) instead of the stronger (6.1.2) is really needed to show the local convergence of method (6.1.1) to x* [341],[343]. Based on this observation it became possible to obtain convergence radii larger than the ones obtained in [136], [295], [340], [312]. Here we show that all the above mentioned results can be further improved under weaker or the same hypotheses and under less or the same computational cost. A numerical example is also provided where our results compare favorably with all earlier ones. Several areas of application are also suggested.

6. More Results on Newton's Method

We provide the following local convergence theorems:

Theorem 6.1.1 Let F : D C X + Y be a Fre'chet-dzfferentzable operator. Assume: (a) there exists a simple zero x* E D of equation F ( x ) = 0 so that F1(x*)-I E L ( Y , X ) , positive integrable nondecreasing functions L , Lo such that the radius Lipschitz condition with L average and the center radius Lipschitz condition with Lo average

In particular xo E U ( x * , r * ) by hypothesis. Let us assume x , E U ( x * , r * ) . We obtain the identity

By (6.1.3), (6.1.4) and (6.1.11) we get

which shows the convergence of x, to x* and x,+l E U ( x * ,r*). Hence sequence {x,) ( n 0 ) remains in U ( x * ,r * ) by the principle of mathematical induction.

That is our theorem provides a wider range of initial guesses xo and more precise error estimates o n the distances 112, - x*11 (n > 0 ) than Theorem 3.1 and under the same computational cost since i n practice the evaluation of function L requires that of Lo.

Estimates (6.3.49), (6.3.50) imply that (6.3.43)' (6.3.44) hold for n = k 1. The proof of (6.3.43) and (6.3.44) is now complete by induction. Lemma 6.3.5 implies I t n ) (n 2 0) is a Cauchy sequence. From (6.3.43), (6.3.44) {xn) (n 2 0) becomes a Cauchy sequence too, and as such it converges to some U(xo,s) such that (6.3.40) holds. The combination of (6.3.40) and (6.3.46) yields F(x*) = 0. Finally to show uniqueness let y* be a solution of equation F(x) = 0 in U(xo, R). It follows from (6.3.12), the estimate

< Z2( s * + R) 5 1 (by (6.3.42)), and the Banach Lemma on invertible operators that linear operator

Both methods improve the computational efficiency with (6.3.53)-(6.3.55) being although the more preferable because it raises the convergence order to 1 number of function evaluations doubles when compared with Newton's method. Using (6.3.12) instead of (6.3.14) or (6.3.19) to compute upper error bounds on 11 F1(x)-I F1(xo)11 (see e.g. (6.3.48)) we can show as in Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 in [342] respectively:

A Deformed Method

We assume that F is a twice continuously FrBchet-differentiable operator in this section. We use the following modification of King's iteration [208] proposed by Werner [345]:

Although the number of function evaluations increases by one when compared to Newton's method, the order of convergence is raised from 2 to 1 4 [345]. Here in particular using more precise majorizing sequences than before we provide finer error bounds on the distances llxn+l - xnII, lix, - x*11 and a more precise information on the location of the solution x*. Finally, we suggest an approach for even weakening the sufficient convergent condition (6.4.8) for this method along the lines of the works in Section 5.1. Let p 2 0, y > 0, and yo > 0 be given parameters. It is convenient to define real function f by

The Inverse Function Theorem

We provide a semilocal convergence analysis for Newton's method in a Banach space setting using the inverse function theorem. Using a combination of a Lipschitz as well as a center Lipschitz type condition we provide: weaker sufficient convergence conditions; finer error bounds on the distances involved, and a more precise information on the location of the solution than before [340]. Moreover, our results are obtained under the same or less computational cost, as already indicated in Section 5.1. Let xo E D such that U ( x o ,r ) G D for some r > 0, and F1(xo)-' E L(Y, X ) . The inverse function theorem under the above stated conditions guarantees the existence of E > 0, operator Fr(xo)-l: U ( F ( x o ) , & ) Y + X such that Ff(xo)-' is differentiable,

The rest of the error bounds i n (3401 can also be improved by simply using Lo i n (6.5.7) instead of L see Section 5.1.

Chapter 7

Equations with Nonsmooth Operators In recent years, Newton-type methods have been generalized to solve many problems in mathematical programming. An excellent treatment of these generalizations in the form of a genearlized equation was inaugurated by S. M. Robinson [297], [298]. Relevant work has been conducted by Josephy [200]–[203] and Argyros [76], [81]–[89]. When applied to an optimization problem Newton-type methods constitute a type of sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithms. These algorithms are very efficient and among the most promising for solving large-scale problems. See Gill, Murray and Wright [168] for more discussions on the numerical aspects of these algorithms. There have been several previous papers dealing with Newton’s method for solving non-Fr´echet differentiable operators in normed spaces Kojima and Shindo [209] analized Newton and quasi-Newton methods for systems of piecewise continuously differentiable operators, and Kummer [215] extended the Kojima-Shindo result to real Banach spaces and studied Newton’s method defined by a large family of linear continuous operators. Catinas [117], Chen and Yamamoto [121] Nguen and Zabrejko [363], Argyros [18], [34], [68] have provided results on equations involving a Fr´echet differentiable term and another term whose differentiability is not assumed. Robinson [302] discusses a Newton method for nonsmooth operators which admits a certain kind of a point-based approximating operator. He then provides a semilocal convergence analysis using the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis and the nondiscrete mathematical induction (see Potra and Ptak [284], [286]. In this chapter we further exploit the weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem. The benefits of this approach have already been explained in Section 5.1. In particular in the first section we show that under weaker hypotheses and same computational cost we can provide a finer convergence analysis and a better information on the location of the solution than the corresponding one in [302]. 245

246

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

Moreover, in sections 2–4 we examine the semilocal convergence of Newton’s method under even weaker hypotheses. Furthermore in Sections 5 and 6 we do the same for the secant method under different hypotheses whose advantages over each other have already been explained in Section 5.1. Finally as a future research we suggest to the motivated reader to further exploit our work here to improve the results obtained by Robinson [302], Pang et. all [267], Qi [287], Han [178], Shapiro [309], Ip et all [197] concerning Bouligand and other types of derivatives in connection with Newton-type methods.

7.1

Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 1: Lipschitzian Assumptions

The classical Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3) replaces the operator whose solution is sought by an approximate operator that we hope can be solved easier. A solution of the approximation (linearization) can be used to restart the process. Under certain conditions a sequence is being generated that converges to x∗ . In particular in the case of the Newton–Kantorovich theorem (see Section 4.1) the approximating operators are linearizations of the form F (x) + F ′ (x)(x − z) where given x we solve for z. Robinson [302] extended this theorem to hold for nonsmooth operators, where the linearization is no longer available. This class includes smooth operators as well as nonsmooth reformulations of variational inequalities. He used as an alternative a point-based-approximation which imitates the properties of linearization of Newton’s method. Here we extend Robinson’s work, and in particular we show that it is possible under weaker hypotheses, and the same computational cost to provide finer error bounds on the distances involved, and a more precise information on the location of the solution x∗ . We need the definitions. Definition 7.1.1 Let F be an operator from a closed subset D of a metric space (X, m) to a normed linear space Y . Operator F has a point-based approximation PBA on D if there exist an operator A : D × D → Y and a number η ≥ 0 such that for each u and v in D, (a) kF (v) − A(u, v)k ≤ 12 ηm(u, v)2 , and (b) operator A(u, ·) − A(v, ·) is Lipschitzian on D with modulus ηm(u, v). We then say operator A is a PBA for F with modulus η. Moreover if for a given point x0 ∈ D (c) operator A(u, ·) − A(x0 , ·) is Lipschitzian on D with modulus η0 m(u, x0 ), then we say operator A is a PBA for F with moduli (η, η0 ) at the point x0 . Note that if F has a Fr´echet-derivative that is Lipschitzian on a closed, convex set D with modulus η, and X is also a normed linear space then by choosing A(u, v) = F (u) + F ′ (u)(v − u)

(used in method (4.1.3)), we get by (a) kF (v) − F (u) − F ′ (u)(v − u)k ≤

1 ηkv − uk2 , 2

whereas (b) and (c) are obtained by the Lipschitzian property of F ′ . As already noted in [300] the existence of a PBA does not necessarily imply differentiability. Method (4.1.3) is applicable to any operator having a PBA A, if solving the equation A(x, z) = 0 for z provided that x is given is possible. We also need the definition concerning bounds for the inverses of operators: Definition 7.1.2 Let X, D, and Y be as in Definition 7.1.1, and F : D → Y . Then we define the number: kF (u) − F (v)k δ(F, D) = inf , u= 6 v, u, v ∈ D . m(u, v) Clearly, if δ (F, D) 6= 0 then F is 1–1 on D. We also define the center-Lipschitzian number kF (u) − F (x0 )k δ0 (F, D) = inf , u 6= x0 , u ∈ D . m(u, x0 ) Set d = δ(F, D) and d1 = δ0 (F, D). At this point we need two lemmas. The first one is the analog of the Banach Lemma on invertible operators 1.3.2. The second one gives conditions under which operator F is 1–1. Lemma 7.1.3 Let (X, d) be a Banach space, D a closed subset of X, and Y a normed linear space. Let F and G be functions from D into Y , G being Lipschitzian with modulus η and center-Lipschitzian with modulus η0 . Let x0 ∈ D with F (x0 ) = y0 . Assume: (a) U (y0 , α) ⊆ F (D), (b) 0 ≤ η < d, (c) U (x0 , d−1 1 α) ⊆ D, and (d) θ0 = (1 − η0 d−1 1 )α − kG(x0 )k ≥ 0. Then the following hold: U (y0 , θ0 ) ⊆ (F + G) U (x0 , d−1 1 α) and

0 < d − η ≤ δ(F + G, D).

−1 Proof. Let y ∈ U (y0 , θ0 ), x ∈ U (x0 , d−1 (y − G(x)). 1 α) and define T y(x) = F Then we can have in turn

ky − G(x) − y0 k ≤ ky − y0 k + kG(x) − G(x0 )k + kG(x0 )k ≤ θ0 + η0 d−1 1 α + kG(x0 )k = α.

That is the set T y(x) 6= ∅ and in particular it contains a single point because d > 0. The rest follows exactly as in Lemma 3.1 in [300, p. 298] (see also the more detailed proof of Lemma 7.2.2). Remark 7.1.1 In general η0 ≤ η,

and

d ≤ d1

(7.1.2)

hold and ηη0 , dd1 can be arbitrarily large (see Section 5.1). If η0 is replaced by η and d1 by d in Lemma 1 then our result reduces to the corresponding one in [Lemma 3.1, [300]]. Denote θ0 by θ if η0 is replaced by η and d1 by d. Then in case strict inequality holds in any of the inequalities in (7.1.2), we get θ < θ0 ,

(7.1.3)

which improves the corresponding Lemma 3.1 in [302], and under the same computational cost, since in practice the computation of η requires the computation of η0 or d1 respectively. Lemma 7.1.4 Let X and Y be normed linear spaces, and let D be a closed subset of X. For x0 ∈ D and F : D → Y assume: function A : D × D → Y is a PBA for F on D with moduli (η, η0 ) at the point x0 ; there exists x0 ∈ D such that U (x0 , ρ) ⊆ D. Then the following hold: δ F, U (x0 , ρ) ≥ d − η1 ρ

(7.1.4)

where,

1 d = δ A(x0 , ·), D , and η1 = η0 + η. 2

Moreover, if d − η1 ρ > 0 then F is 1–1 on U (x0 , ρ). Proof. It follows as in the proof of Lemma 2.4 in [302, p. 295] but there are some 2 differences. Set x = x1 +x for x1 and x2 in U (x0 , ρ). Then we can write: 2 F (x1 ) − F (x2 ) = [F (x1 ) − A(x, x1 )] + [A(x, x1 ) − A(x, x2 )] + [A(x, x2 ) − F (x2 )].

(7.1.5)

7.1. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 1: Lipschitzian Assumptions

249

We will find bounds on each one of the quantities inside the brackets above. First by (a) of Definition 7.1.1, we obtain kF (xi ) − A(x, xi )k ≤

1 1 ηkx − xi k2 = ηkx1 − x2 k2 . 2 8

(7.1.6)

Using the triangle inequality we get kA(x, u) − A(x, v)k ≥ kA(x0 , u) − A(x0 , v)k − k[A(x, u) − A(x0 , u)] − [A(x, v) − A(x0 , v)]k.

(7.1.7)

By the definition of d, and (7.1.7) we get in turn δ(A(x, ·), D) ≥ δ(A(x0 , ·), D) − sup{k[A(x, u) − A(x0 , u)]

− [A(x, v) − A(x0 , v)]k/ku − vk, u 6= v, u, v ∈ D} ≥ d − η0 kx − x0 k ≥ d − η0 ρ.

(7.1.8)

Hence by (7.1.5), (7.1.8) and (c) of Definition 7.1.1 we have 1 kF (x1 ) − F (x2 )k ≥ (d − η0 ρ) − ηkx1 − x2 k kx1 − x2 k 4 and for x1 6= x2 , 1 kF (x1 ) − F (x2 )k/kx1 − x2 k ≥ d − η0 ρ − ηkx1 − x2 k 4 1 1 ≥ d − η0 ρ − ηk(x1 − x0 ) + (x0 − x2 )k ≥ d − η0 ρ − ηρ. 4 2

Remark 7.1.2 If equality holds in (7.1.2), then Lemma 7.1.4 reduces to Lemma 2.4 in [302]. Otherwise our result provides a wider range for δ(F, U (x0 , ρ)). Let r0 and d0 be positive numbers. It is convenient to define scalar sequences {tn }, {tn } by tn+2 = tn+1 +

2 d−1 0 η(tn+1 − tn ) , t0 = 0, t1 = r0 −1 2(1 − d0 η0 tn+1 )

sn+2 = sn+1 +

2 d−1 0 η(sn+1 − sn ) , s0 = 0, s1 = r0 . 2(1 − d−1 0 ηsn+1 )

and (7.1.10)

We set hA = d−1 0 ηr0 ,

and hK = d−1 0 ηr0 .

(7.1.12)

Note that 1 hK ≤ hA ≤ hK . 2

(7.1.13)

If strict inequality holds in (7.1.2) then so does in (7.1.13). It was shown in Section 5.1 that sequence {tn } converges monotonically to some t∗ ∈ (0, 2r0 ] provided that hA ≤ 1.

(7.1.14)

Moreover by the Newton–Kantorovich theorem for nonsmooth equations 4.2.4 sequence {sn } converges monotonically to some s∗ with 0 < s∗ =

r0 1 − (1 − 2hK )1/2 ≤ 2r0 hK

(7.1.15)

provided that the famous Newton–Kantorovich hypotheses hK ≤ 1.

(7.1.16)

holds. Note also that hK ≤ 1 ⇒ hA ≤ 1

(7.1.17)

but not vice versa unless equality holds in (7.1.2). Under hypotheses (7.1.14) and (7.1.16) we showed in Section 5.1 (for η0 < η): tn < s n

(n ≥ 2)

tn+1 − tn < sn+1 − sn ∗

(7.1.19) (7.1.20)

and t∗ ≤ s∗ ≤ 2r0 .

(7.1.21)

Note that {sn } was essentially used as a majorizing sequence for {xn } in Theorem 3.2 in [302] for Newton’s method. We can state the following semilocal convergence theorem for Newton’s method involving nonsmooth operators: Theorem 7.1.5 Let F : D ⊆ X → Y be a continuous operators x0 ∈ D, and r0 > 0. Suppose that A : D × D → Y is a PBA for F with moduli (η, η0 ) at the point x = x0 . Moreover assume:

7.1. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 1: Lipschitzian Assumptions

251

(a) δ(A(x0 , ·), D) ≥ d0 > 0; (b) 0 < hA ≤ 12 ; (c) for each y ∈ U (0, d0 (t∗ − r0 )) equation A(x0 , x) = y has a solution x; (d) the solution S(x0 ) of A(x0 , S(x0 )) = 0 satisfies kS(x0 ) − x0 k ≤ r0 ; and (e) U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊆ D. Then the Newton iteration defining xn+1 by A(xn , xn+1 ) = 0

(n ≥ 0)

is well defined, remains in U (x0 , t∗ ) for all n ≥ 0 and converges to a solution x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) of equation F (x) = 0. Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn

(7.1.22)

kxn − x∗ k ≤ t∗ − tn .

(7.1.23)

and

Furthermore if ρ given in Lemma 7.1.4 satisfies t∗ < ρ < d0 η1−1

(7.1.24)

then x∗ is the unique solution of equation F (x) = 0 in U (x0 , ρ). Proof. We use Lemma 7.1.3 with quantities F , G, α, x0 and y0 replaced by A(x0 , ·), A(x1 , ·) − A(x0 , ·), d1 (t∗ − r0 ), x1 = S(x0 ), and 0 respectively. Hypothesis (a) of the Lemma follows from the fact that A(x0 , x) = y has a unique solution x1 (since δ(A(x0 , ·), D)) ≥ d0 > 0). For hypothesis (b) we have δ(A(x1 , ·), D) ≥ δ(A(x0 , ·), D) − η0 kx1 − x0 k ≥ d0 − η0 r0 > 0.

(7.1.25)

Condition (c) of Lemma 7.1.3 follows immediately from the above choices. The condition hA ≤ 12 is equivalent to 2r0 (η + η0 ) ≤ d0 . We have d1 = δ0 (F, D) ≥ δ(F, D) ≥ d0 , and kG(x1 )k ≤ 21 η0 r02 ≤ 12 ηr02 . Then condition (d) of Lemma 7.1.3 follows from the estimate η0 r0 η η θ ≥ 1− d1 (t∗ − r0 ) − r02 = (d1 − η0 r0 )(t∗ − r0 ) − r02 d1 2 2 η0 2 η 2 ∗ ∗ ≥ (d0 − η0 r0 )(t − r0 ) − r0 = (d0 − η0 t1 )(t − t1 ) − t1 2 2 η ∗ = (d0 − η0 r0 )(t − t2 ) + (d0 − η0 t1 )(t2 − t1 ) − (t1 − t0 )2 2 = (d0 − η0 r0 )(t∗ − t2 ) ≥ η0 r0 (t∗ − t2 ) ≥ 0. It follows from Lemma 7.1.3 that for each y ∈ U (0, t∗ − kx1 − x0 k), the equation A(x1 , z) = y has a unique solution z = x2 in D since δ(A(x1 , ·), D) > 0.

252

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

We also have A(x0 , x1 ) = A(x1 , x2 ) = 0 and A(x1 , x1 ) = F (x1 ). By Definition 7.1.2 and kx2 − x1 k ≤ δ(A(x1 , ·), D)−1 kA(x1 , x2 ) − A(x1 , x1 )k

−1 −1 ≤ d−1 kA(x0 , x1 ) − F (x1 )k 0 (1 − d0 η0 kx1 − x0 k) −1 −1 1 ≤ d−1 ηkx1 − x0 k2 ≤ t2 − t1 . 0 (1 − d0 η0 kx1 − x0 k) 2

Hence, we showed: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn ,

(7.1.26)

U (xn+1 , t∗ − tn+1 ) ⊆ U (xn , t∗ − tn )

(7.1.27)

and

hold for n = 0, 1. Moreover for every z ∈ U (x1 , t∗ − t1 ), kz − x0 k ≤ kz − x1 k + kx1 − x0 k ≤ t∗ − t1 + t1 = t∗ − t0 , implies z ∈ U (x0 , t∗ − t0 ). Given they hold for n = 0, 1, . . . , j, then kxj+1 − x0 k ≤

j+1 X i=1

j+1 X kxi − xi−1 k ≤ (ti − ti−1 ) = tj+1 − t0 = tj+1 . i=1

The induction can be completed by simply replacing above x0 , x1 by xn , xn+1 respectively, and noticing that kxn+1 − xn k ≤ r0 . Indeed for the crucial condition (d) of Lemma 7.1.3 assigning F as A(xn , ·), G as A(xn+1 , ·) − A(xn , ·), α as d1 (t∗ − tn+1 ) we have, since d1 = δ0 (F, D) ≥ δ(F, D) ≥ d0 − η0 tn : η η(tn+1 − tn ) d1 (t∗ − tn+1 ) − (tn+1 − tn )2 θ0 ≥ 1 − d1 2 η = [d1 − η(tn+1 − tn )](t∗ − tn+1 ) − (tn+1 − tn )2 2 η ∗ ≥ (d0 − ηtn+1 )(t − tn+1 ) − (tn+1 − tn )2 2 η ∗ = (d0 − ηtn+1 )(t − tn+2 ) + (d0 − ηtn+1 )(tn+2 − tn+1 ) − (tn+1 − tn )2 2 = (d0 − ηtn+1 )(t∗ − tn+2 ) ≥ 0. It follows by hypothesis (b) that scalar sequence {tn } is Cauchy. From (7.1.26) and (7.1.27) it follows {xn } is Cauchy too in a Banach space X and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). Furthermore we have kF (xn+1 )k = kF (xn+1 ) − A(xn , xn+1 )k ≤

1 1 ηkxn+1 − xn k2 ≤ η(tn+1 − tn )2 . 2 2

7.1. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 1: Lipschitzian Assumptions

253

That is kF (xn+1 )k converges to zero as n → ∞. Therefore by the continuity of F we deduce F (x∗ ) = 0. Estimate (7.1.23) follows from (7.1.22) by using standard majorization techniques. Moreover for the uniqueness part using Lemma 7.1.4 and hypothesis (7.1.24) we deduce that x∗ is an isolated zero of F , since F is 1–1 on U (x0 , t∗ ). Remark 7.1.3 (a) If equality hold in (7.1.2), then our theorem reduces to the corresponding Theorem 3.2 in [302]. Otherwise according to (7.1.17)–(7.1.21) our theorem provides under weaker conditions, and the same computational cost finer error bounds on the distances involved and a more precise information on the location of the solution x∗ . Moreover the uniqueness of the solution x∗ is shown in a larger ball (see (7.1.24) and compare it with 3.7 in [302] (i.e. compare (7.1.24) with s∗ < ρ < d0 η −1 ). (b) Condition (c) of Theorem 7.1.5 can be replaced by the stronger but more practical: (b)′ For each fixed x0 and y in U (0, d0 (t∗ − r0 )) = U (or in U (0, d0 r0 )) operator Q given by Q(x) = x − y + A(x0 , x) is a contraction on U and maps U into itself. It then follows by the contraction mapping principle (see Chapter 3) that equation A(x0 , x) = y has a solution x in U. We can also provide a local convergence result for Newton’s method: Theorem 7.1.6 Let F : D ⊆ X → Y be as in Theorem 7.1.5. Assume: x∗ ∈ D is a simple solution of equation F (x) = 0; operator F has a point-based approximation A on D with moduli (ℓ, ℓ0 ) at the point x∗ . Moreover assume that the following hold: (a) δ(A(x∗ , ·), D)≥ d∗ > 0; (b) d∗ > ℓ0 + 12 ℓ r∗ ; (c) for each y ∈ U (0, d∗ r∗ ) and provided x0 ∈ U 0 (x∗ , r∗ ) the equation A(x0 , x) = y has a solution x satisfying kx − x∗ k ≤ r∗ ; and (d) U (x∗ , r∗ ) ⊆ D. Then Newton’s method is well defined, remains in U (x∗ , r∗ ) for all n ≥ 0 and converges to x∗ , so that kxn+1 − x∗ k ≤

ℓkxn − x∗ k2 − ℓ0 kxn − x∗ k)

2(d∗

(n ≥ 0).

(7.1.28)

Proof. It follows immediately by replacing x0 by x∗ in Lemma 7.1.4 and in appropriate places in the proof of Theorem 7.1.5. Remark 7.1.4 (a) The local convergence of Newton’s method was not studied in [302]. However if it was it would have been as in Theorem 7.1.6 with ℓ0 = ℓ. Note however that as in (7.1.2) in general ℓ0 ≤ ℓ

(7.1.29)

254

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

∗ holds, and ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. Denote by rR the convergence radius to have been obtained by Robinson. It then follows by (b) of Theorem 7.1.6 that

r1∗ =

2d∗ 2d∗ ≤ r∗ = . 3ℓ 2ℓ0 + ℓ

(7.1.30)

Moreover in case strict inequality holds in (7.1.29), then so does in (7.1.30). This observation is very important in computational mathematics since our approach allows a wider choice for initial guesses x0 . Moreover the corresponding error bounds are obtained if we set ℓ = ℓ0 in (7.1.29). Therefore our error bounds are also finer (for ℓ0 < ℓ) and under the same computational cost. (b) If operator A is given by the linearization (7.1.1), then A(xn , xn+1 ) = 0 is a linear equation. Thus we have the Newton’s method for differentiable operators. Otherwise, equation A(xn , xn+1 ) = 0 applies to a wide class of important real life problems for which it is not a linear equation. Such problems are discussed below. Application 7.1.7 (Application to Normal Maps.) An important class of nonsmooth functions that have tractable point-based approximations. This class was given in [302] and is a reformulation of the class of variational inequalities on a Hilbert space, so in particular it includes the finite-dimensional generalized equations investigated by Josephy [200]–[203], as well as many other problems of practical importance. For many members of this class, computational methods are available to solve the Newton subproblems, and therefore the method we suggest here can be applied not only as a theoretical device, but also as a practical computational method for solving problems. The functions we shall treat are the so-called normal maps. We define these, and discuss briefly their significance, before relating them to point-based approximations. Let C be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H, and denote by Π the metric projector from H onto C. Let Ω be an open subset of H meeting G, and let F be a function from Ω to H. The normal map FC is defined from the set Π−1 (Ω) to H by FC (z) = F (Π(z)) + (z − Π(z)). A more extensive discussion of these normal maps is in [301], where we show how the first order necessary optimality conditions for nonlinear optimization, as well as linear and nonlinear complementarity problems and more general variational inequalities, can all be expressed compactly and conveniently in the form of FC (z) = 0 involving normal maps. This is true because, as is easily verified, the variational problem of finding an x0 ∈ C such that for each c ∈ C, hF (x0 ), c − x0 i ≥ 0 is completely equivalent to the normal-map equation FC (z0 ) = 0 through the transformation z0 = F (x0 ). However, the use of normal maps sometimes enable one to gain insight into special properties of problem classes that might have remained obscure in the formalism of variational inequalities. A particular example of this is the characterization of the local and global homeomorphism properties of linear normal maps given in [301] and improved in [291].

7.1. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 1: Lipschitzian Assumptions

255

As the functions F and the sets C used in the constructioin of these normal maps are those naturally appearing in the optimizatioin or variational problems, the normal-map technique provides a simple and convenient device for formulating a wide variety of important problems from applications in single, unified manner. Results established for such normal maps will then apply to the entire range of these applicatioins, so that there is no need to derive them separately for each different type of problem. Results of this kind already established include an implicit-funciton theorem and related machinery in [300], characterizations in [301] of those normal maps derived from linear thransformations that are also global or local homeomorphisms. As we shall now show, the results on Newton’s method that we establish here will apply to normal maps, therefore encompassing in particular the problems treated in the work already cited on application of Newton’s method to certain optimization problems and variational inequalities. Our results on local convergence of Newton’s method require, in essence, the existence of a PBA that is a local homeomorhism, together with some closeness conditions. To show that these apply to normal maps, we must indicate how one can construct PBAs for such maps. Recalling our earlier demonstration that the linearization operation yields a PBA for the function being linearized, one might ask if one could ninearize the function appearing in a normal map. This does not seem easy, as such functions are in general not differentiable. However, we shall show that a simple modification of the linearization procedure will work very well. The key observation is is that although the function FC will be differentiable (indeed, often smooth), and therefore will have an easily constructible PBA. We now show that if such a PBA exists for F, then one can easily be constructed for FC .

Proposition 7.1.8 Let H be a Hilbert space and C a nonempty closed convex subset of H, and denote by Π the metric projector on C. Let F be a function from C to H, and let A be a function from C × C to H. If A is a PBA for F on C, then the function G : H × H → H defined by G(w, z) = A(Π(w), ·)C (z) is a PBA for FC on H. Further, the constant in the definition of PBA can be taken to be the same for G as for A.

Before giving the proof we note that by the definition of normal map, G(w, z) is A(Π(w), Π(z)) + (z − Π(z)). Therefore in determininng values of this function one only evaluates A on the set C × C, where it is defined. Proof. By hypothesis there is a constant φ for which A has the two properties given in Definition 7.1.1. We shall show that the same two properties hold for G,

256

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

again with the constant φ. First, let w and z be any elements of H. Then kFC (z) − G(w, z)k =

= kF (Π(z)) + (z − Π(z)) − [A(Π(w), Π(z)) + (z − Π(z))]k = kF (Π(z)) − A(Π(w), Π(z))k 2

≤ φ/2 kΠ(w) − Π(z)k 2

≤ φ/2 kw − zk ,

where we used the facts that A was a PBA for F on C and that the metric projector is nonexpansive. Therefore G satisfies the first property of a PBA. For the second, suppose that z and z ′ are two elements of H; we show that G(z, ·) − G(z ′ , ·) is Lipschitzian on H with modulus φ kz − z ′ k . Indeed, let x and y be elements of H. Then k[G(z, x) − G(z ′ , x)] − [G(z, y) − G(z ′ , y)]k = = k[A(Π(z), Π(x)) + (x − Π(x)) − A(Π(z ′ ), Π(x)) − (x − Π(x))]− − [A(Π(z), Π(y)) + (y − Π(y)) − A(Π(z ′ ), Π(y)) − (y − Π(y))]k = k[A(Π(z), Π(x)) − A(Π(z ′ ), Π(x))]− [A(Π(z), Π(y)) − A(Π(z ′ ), Π(y))]k ≤ φ kΠ(z) − Π(z ′ )k kΠ(x) − Π(y)k ≤ φ kz − z ′ k kx − yk ,

where we used the second property of a PBA (for A) along with the nonexpansivity of Π.

Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 2: H¨ olderian assumptions

In this section we weaken further assumptions made in Section 7.1 by considering H¨olderian instead of Lipschitzian assumptions in order to cover a wider range of problems than the ones discussed in Section 7.1 or in [302]. Numerical examples are also provided to show that our results apply where others fail. We need the definitions: Definition 7.2.1 Let F be an operator from a closed subset D of a metric space (X, m) to a normed linear space Y . We say F has a point-based approximation p(PBA) at some point x0 ∈ D if there exist an operator A : D × D → Y and scalars k, k0 such that for each u and v in D and some p ∈ (0, 1]: kF (v) − A(u, v)k ≤

1 km(u, v)1+p , 1+p

(7.2.1)

k[A(u, x) − A(v, x)] − [A(u, y) − A(v, y)]k ≤

(7.2.2)

and k[A(u, x) − A(x0 , x)] − [A(u, y) − A(x0 , y)]k ≤

2 k0 m(u, v)1+p 1+p

(7.2.3)

for all x, y ∈ D. Let us assume that D is a convex set and X is also a normed linear space for both cases that follow. Here are some cases where the above hold: (a) Let p = 1. Then see Section 7.1. (b) If F has a Fr´echet derivative that is p-H¨olderian on D with modulus k and center-p-H¨olderian (at x0 ) with modulus k0 then with the choice of A given by (7.1.1) we get kF (v) − F (u) − F ′ (u)(v − u)k ≤

whereas again (7.2.2) and (7.2.3) are equivalent to the H¨olderian and center H¨olderian property of operator F ′ (see also Section 5.1). We need the following generalization of the classical Banach Lemma on invertible operators 1.3.2: Lemma 7.2.2 Let (X, d) be a Banach space, D a closed subset of X, and Y a normed linear space. Let F, G be operators from D into Y , with G being Lipschitzian with modulus k, and G being center Lipschitzian with modulus k0 . Let x0 ∈ D, and set F (x0 ) = y0 . Assume that: (a) U (y0 , α) ⊆ F (D); (b) 0 ≤ k < d; (c) U (x0 , d−1 1 α) ⊆ D, and (d) θ = (1 − k0 d−1 1 )α − kG(x0 )k ≥ 0. Then the following hold: U (y0 , θ) ≤ (F + G) U (x0 , d−1 (7.2.4) 1 α) , and

δ(F + G, D) ≥ d − k > 0.

(7.2.5)

Proof. Define operator T y(x) = F −1 (y − G(x)) for y ∈ U (y0 , θ), and x ∈ U (x0 , d−1 1 α). We can get: ky − G(x) − y0 k ≤ ky − y0 k + kG(x) − G(x0 )k + kG(x0 )k ≤ θ + k0 (d−1 1 α) + kG(x0 )k = α.

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

Therefore T y(x) is a singleton set since δ > 0. That is T y is an operator on 1/p U (x0 , (d−1 ). This operator maps U (x0 , d1−1 α) into itself. Indeed for x ∈ 1 α) −1 U (x0 , d1 α) d(T y(x), x0 ) = d F −1 (y − G(x)), F −1 (y0 ) ≤ d−1 1 α, so we get:

d(T y(x), x0 ) ≤ d−1 1 α. Moreover let u, v be in U (x0 , d−1 1 α), then d(T y(u), T y(v)) ≤ d−1 d(F −1 (y − G(u)), F −1 (y − G(v))) ≤ d−1 kd(u, v) so d(T y(u), T y(v)) ≤ d−1 kd(u, v).

(7.2.6)

It follows by hypothesis (b) and (7.2.6) that T y is a contraction operator (see Chapter 3) mapping closed ball U (x0 , d−1 1 α) into itself and as such it has a unique fixed point x(y) in this ball, since ( k[F (u) − F (v)] + [G(u) − G(v)]k δ(F + G, D) = inf , m(u, v) ) u 6= v, u, v ∈ D

kG(u) − G(v)k ≥ δ − sup , u 6= v, u, v ∈ D m(u, v) ≥ δ − k > 0.

(7.2.7)

Furthermore (7.2.7) shows F + G is one-to-one on D. The following lemma can be used to show uniqueness of the solution on the semilocal case and convergence of Newton’s method in the local case: Lemma 7.2.3 Let X and Y be normed linear spaces, and let D be a closed subset of X. Let F : D → Y , and let A be a p-(PBA) for F on D at the point x0 ∈ D. Denote by d0 the quantity δ(A(x0 , ·), D). If x0 ∈ D and U (x0 , ρ) ⊆ D, then δ(F, U (x0 , ρ)) ≥ d0 − (2k0 + k)

ρ In particular, if d0 > (2k0 + k) 1+p then F is one-to-one on U (x0 , ρ).

Proof. Let y, z be points in U (x0 , ρ). Set x =

y+z z .

We can write

F (y) − F (z) = [F (y) − A(x, y)] + [A(x, y) − A(x, z)] + [A(x, z) − F (z)].

7.2. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 2: H¨olderian assumptions 259

Then we get kF (y) − A(x, y)k ≤

k k kx − yk1+p = 1+p ky − xk1+p , 1+p 2 (1 + p)

and similarly kF (z) − A(x, z)k ≤

k kx − zk1+p . 21+p (1 + p)

Using the estimate kA(x, u) − A(x, v)k ≥ kA(x0 , u) − A(x0 , v)k − k[A(x, u) − A(x0 , u)] − [A(x, v) − A(x0 , v)]k, we get in turn: δ(A(x, ·), D) = n o = inf kA(x,u)−A(x,v)k | u 6= v, u, v ∈ D ku−vk ( ≥ δ(A(x0 , ·), D) − sup u 6= v, u, v ∈ D ≥ d0 −

Hence, we get kF (y) − F (z)k ≥

2k0 ρp k kF (y) − F (z)k ≥ d0 − − p ky − zkp ky − zk 1+p 2 (1 + p) ρp ≥ d0 − (2k0 + k) . 1+p

Remark 7.2.1 Lemmas 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 can be reduced to the corresponding ones in [302] if p = 1, d1 = d = d0 , and k0 = k. In the case p = 1 and k0 < k or d1 > d our Lemma 7.2.2 improves the range for θ, whereas our Lemma 7.2.3 enlarges ρ given in [300]. Note that in general k0 ≤ k hold and

and

can be arbitrarily large (see Section 5.1).

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

It is convenient for us to define scalar iteration {tn } (n ≥ 0) by tn+2 = tn+1 +

k(tn+1 − tn )1+p , t0 = 0, t1 = η 2k0 −1 p d0 tn+1 d0 (1 + p) 1 − 1+p

(7.2.8)

for some η ≥ 0. The convergence of sequence {tn } was studied in Section 5.1 and in [90]. In particular, we showed that if p 2k0 p + 1 p d−1 h= k+ 0 η ≤ 1 1+p p for p 6= 1 or h = (k0 + k)ηd−1 0 ≤ 1 for p = 1,

(7.2.9)

then sequence {tn } is monotonically convergent to its upper bound t∗ with η ≤ t∗ ≤

p+1 η = r. p

(7.2.10)

Note also that these conditions are obtained as special cases from Lemma 5.1.1. Conditions (7.2.9) were compared favourably in [90] with corresponding ones already in the literature [303]. That is why we decided to use them here over the earlier ones. It will be shown that {tn } is a majorizing sequence for Newton’s iteration {xn } (n ≥ 0) to be defined in the main semilocal convergence theorem that follows: We can state and prove the main semilocal convergence result for Newton’s method involving p-(PBA). Theorem 7.2.4 Let X and Y be Banach spaces, D a closed convex subset of X, x0 ∈ D, and F a continuous operator from D into Y . Suppose that F has a p-(PBA) approximation at x0 . Moreover assume: (a) δ(A(x0 , ·), D) ≥ d0 > 0; (b) condition (7.2.9) holds; (c) for each y ∈ U (0, d0 (t∗ − η)) the equation A(x0 , x) = y has a solution x; (d) the solution S(x0 ) of A(x0 , S(x0 )) = 0 satisfies kS(x0 ) − x0 k ≤ η; and (e) U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊆ D. Then the Newton iteration defining xn+1 by A(xn , xn+1 ) = 0

(n ≥ 0)

(7.2.11) ∗

remains in U (x0 , r), and converges to a solution x ∈ U (x0 , r) of equation F (x) = 0. Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn

(7.2.12)

kxn − x∗ k ≤ t∗ − tn

(7.2.13)

and

where sequence {tn } is defined by (7.2.8) and t∗ = lim tn . n→∞

7.2. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 2: H¨olderian assumptions 261

Proof. We use Lemma 7.2.2 with quantities F , G, x0 , and y0 replaced by A(x, ·), A(x1 , ·)−A(x, ·), x1 = S(x0 ), and 0 respectively. Hypothesis (a) of Lemma 1 follows from the fact that A(x0 , x) = y has a unique solution x1 (since δ(A(x0 , ·), D) > 0). For hypothesis (b) we have 2 2 k0 η p ≥ d0 − k0 η p 1+p 1+p (by (7.2.9)).

δ(A(x1 , ·), D) ≥ δ(A(x0 , ·), D) − >0

To show (c) we must have U (x1 , t∗ − η) ⊆ D. Instead by hypothesis (e) it suffices to show: U (x1 , t∗ − η) ⊂ U (x0 , t∗ ), which is true since kx1 − x0 k + η ≤ t∗ − η + η = t∗ . We also have by (7.2.2) kA(x0 , x1 ) − A(x1 , x1 )k ≤

1 kkx0 − x1 k1+p . 1+p

The quantity d0 η 1 2 k0 η p d−1 − kη 1+p 1− 0 1+p p 1+p

(7.2.14)

is nonnegative by (7.2.9), and is also an upper bound on θ given by (d) in Lemma 7.2.2, since θ is bounded above by 2 d0 η 1− k0 η p d−1 − kA(x0 , x1 ) − A(x1 , x1 )k. 1 1+p p It follows from Lemma 7.2.2 that for each y ∈ U (0, t∗ − kx1 − x0 k), the equation A(x1 , z) = y has a unique solution z = x2 in D, since δ(A(x1 , ·), D) > 0. We also have A(x0 , x1 ) = A(x1 , x2 ) = 0 and A(x1 , x1 ) = F (x1 ). By Definition 7.2.1 we get in turn: kx2 − x1 k ≤ δ(A(x1 , ·), D)−1 kA(x1 , x2 ) − F (x1 )k −1 k −1 −1 2k0 p ≤ d0 1 − d0 kx1 − x0 k kx1 − x0 k1+p 1+p 1+p −1 k −1 2k0 p ≤ d−1 1 − d (t − t ) (t1 − t2 )1+p ≤ t2 − t1 . 1 0 0 0 1+p 1+p Hence we showed: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn

and U (xn+1 , t∗ − tn+1 ) ⊂ U (xn , t∗ − tn )

(7.2.16) ∗

hold for n = 0, 1. Moreover for every v ∈ U (x1 , t − t1 )

kv − x0 k ≤ kv − x1 k + kx1 − x0 k ≤ t∗ − t1 + t1 = t∗ − t0 ,

implies v ∈ U (x0 , t∗ − t0 ). Given they hold for n = 0, 1, . . . , j, then kxj+1 − x0 k ≤

j+1 X i=1

kxi − xi−1 k ≤

j+1 X (ti − ti−1 ) = tj+1 − t0 = tj+1 . i=1

The induction for (7.2.15), (7.2.16) can easily be completed by simply replacing above x0 , x1 by xn , xn+1 respectively. Indeed the crucial quantity corresponding to (7.2.14) will be p p+1 d0 η k 2k0 η p d−1 − η 1+p 1− 0 1+p p p 1+p or p 2k0 p+1 k p + d−1 0 η ≤ 1, 1+p 1+p p which is nonnegative by (7.2.9). Furthermore by (7.2.9) scalar sequence {tn } is Cauchy. From (7.2.15) and (7.2.16) it follows {xn } is Cauchy too in a Banach space X, and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). Moreover we have by (7.2.2) and (7.2.15) kF (xn+1 )k = kF (xn+1 ) − A(xn , xn+1 )k ≤ ≤

k kxn+1 − xn k1+p 1+p

k (tn+1 − tn )1+p . 1+p

Therefore kF (xn+1 )k converges to zero as n → ∞. By the continuity of F we deduce F (x∗ ) = 0. Estimate (7.2.13) now follows from (7.2.12) by using standard majorization techniques. Remark 7.2.2 The uniqueness of the solution x∗ was not considered in Theorem 7.2.4. Indeed, we do not know if under the conditions stated above the solution x∗ is unique, say in U (x0 , t∗ ). However using Lemma 7.2.2 we can obtain a uniqueness result, so that if ρ satisfies 1/p (1 + p)d0 t∗ < ρ < 2k0 + k then operator F is one-to-one in a neighborhood of x∗ , since x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). Note that r can replace t∗ in Theorem 7.2.4 as well as in the above double inequality. That is x∗ is an isolated zero of F in this case.

7.3. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 3: Local Lipschitzian Assumptions 263 We can also provide a local convergence result for Newton’s method: Theorem 7.2.5 Let F : D ⊆ X → Y be as in Theorem 7.2.4. Assume: x∗ ∈ D is an isolated zero of F ; operator F has a p-(PBA) on D with modulus (ℓ, ℓ0 ) at the point x∗ . Moreover assume that the following hold: (a) δ(A(x∗ , ·), D) ≥ d∗ > 0; 0 +ℓ (b) d∗ ≥ 2ℓ1+p (r∗ )p ; (c) for each y ∈ U (0, d∗ r∗ ) and provided x0 ∈ U 0 (x∗ , r∗ ) the equation A(x0 , x) = y has a solution x satisfying kx − x∗ k ≤ r∗ and U (x∗ , r∗ ) ⊆ D. Then Newton’s method generated by (7.2.11) is well defined, remains in U (x∗ , r∗ ) for all n ≥ 0, and converges to x∗ . Proof. Simply replace x0 by x∗ in Lemma 7.2.3 and in the appropriate places in the proof of Theorem 7.2.4. Example 7.2.1 Let X = Y = R, D = [0, b] for some b > 1. Define function F on D by 1

F (x) =

x1+ i − b0 x + b1 1 + 1i

for some real parameters b0 and b1 , and an integer i > 1. Then no matter how operator A is chosen corresponding to (7.2.2), (7.2.3), conditions in [302] won’t hold (i.e. set p = 1 in both (7.2.2) and (7.2.3)). However if for example A is given by (7.1.1) our conditions (7.2.2)–(7.2.3) hold for say i = 2, p = 21 , k0 = k = 1 and x0 = 1. A more interesting application for Theorem 7.2.4 is given by Example 3.3.1 (alternative approach).

Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 3: Local Lipschitzian Assumptions

We need the definitions suitabloe for further weakening earlier hypotheses: Definition 7.3.1 Let F be an operator from a closed subset D of a metric space (X, m) to a normed linear space Y . Let x0 ∈ D, ε ≥ 0, and ε0 ≥ 0. We say F has an (x0 , ε0 , ε) point-based approximation (PBA) on D if there exist an operator A : D × D → Y and R > 0 such that for all u, v, x, y ∈ U (x0 , R):

and (d) k[A(u, x) − A(x0 , x)] − [A(u, y) − A(x0 , y)]k ≤ ε0 m(u, v).

Let X be also a normed linear space. Then, if F has a Fr´echet-derivative F ′ which is 2ε -continuous on D, and we set A(u, v) = F (u) + F ′ (u)(v − u), (b) gives kF (v) − F (u) − F ′ (u)(v − u)k ≤

(7.3.5)

provided that D is also a convex set, where as Parts (c) and (d) are equivalent to the continuity property of F ′ . Conditions (7.3.1)–(7.3.4) are weaker than the ones considered in [302, p. 293] or in Section 7.1. The advantages of such an approach have already been explained in Section 5.1 for the classical case. Similar advantages can be found in the nonsmooth case. Let δ(F, D), δ0 (F, D), δ, δ1 be as δ(F, D), δ0 (F, D), d, d1 in Definition 7.1.2 respectively. We need the following generalization of the classical Banach Lemma 1.3.2 on invertible operators in order to examine both the semilocal as well as the local convergence of Newton’s method: Lemma 7.3.2 Let X be a Banach space, D a closed subset of X, and Y a normed linear space. Let F, G be operators from D into Y . Let x0 ∈ D and set F (x0 ) = y0 . Let also G be Lipschitzian with modulus ε and center Lipschitzian at x0 with modulus ε0 . Assume that: (a) U (y0 , α) ⊆ F (D); (b) 0 ≤ ε < δ; (c) U (x0 , δ1−1 α) ⊆ D, and (d) θ = (1 − ε0 δ1−1 )α − kG(x0 )k ≥ 0. Then the following hold: U (y0 , θ) ≤ (F + G) U (x0 , δ1−1 α)

and

δ(F + G, D) ≥ δ − η > 0.

7.3. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 3: Local Lipschitzian Assumptions 265 Proof. Define operator T y(x) = F −1 (y − G(x)) for each fixed y ∈ U (y0 , θ), and x ∈ U (x0 , δ1−1 α). We can get ky − G(x) − y0 k ≤ ky − y0 k + kG(x) − G(x0 )k + kG(x0 )k ≤ θ + ε0 (δ1−1 α) + kG(x0 )k = α.

Therefore T y(x) is a singleton set since δ > 0. That is T y is an operator on U (x0 , δ1−1 α). This operator maps U (x0 , δ1−1 α) into itself. Indeed for x ∈ U(x0 , δ1−1 α), we get: m(T y(x), x0 ) = m(F −1 (y − G(x)), F −1 (y0 )) ≤ δ1−1 α. Moreover let u, v be in U (x0 , δ1−1 α), then m(T y(u), T y(v)) ≤ δ −1 e[G(u), G(v)] ≤ δ −1 εm(u, v). It follows by hypothesis (7.3.5) that T y is a contraction operator mapping closed ball U (x0 , δ1−1 α) into itself and as such it has a unique fixed point x(y) in this ball, since δ(F + G, D) = inf {k[F (u) − F (v)] + [G(u) − G(v)]k, u 6= v, u, v, ∈ D} kG(u) − G(v)k ≥ δ − sup , u 6= v, u, v ∈ D ≥ δ − η > 0. m(u, v) Furthermore the above estimate shows F + G is one-to-one on D. Remark 7.3.1 In general ε0 ≤ ε

and

δ ≤ δ1

(7.3.6)

hold. If strict inequality holds in any of the inequalities above, then Lemma 7.3.2 improves the corresponding Lemma 3.1 in [300] since the range for θ is enlarged and under the same computational cost, since the computation of ε (or δ) in practice requires the evaluation of ε0 (or δ1 ). Note also that εε0 and δδ1 can be arbitrarily large (see Section 5.1). The following lemma helps to establish the uniqueness of the solution x∗ in the semilocal case. Lemma 7.3.3 Let X and Y be normed linear spaces, let D be a closed subset of X, and x0 ∈ D, ε0 ≥ 0 and ε ≥ 0. Let F has an (x0 , ε0 , ε) (PBA) on D. Denote by d the quantity δ(A(x0 , ·), D). If U (x0 , ρ) ⊆ D, then 1 δ(F, U (x0 , ρ)) ≥ d − ε0 ρ − ε. 2 In particular, if d > ε0 ρ + 12 ε then F is one-to-one on U (x0 , ρ).

266

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

Proof. Let y, z be points in U (x0 , ρ). Set x =

y+z z .

We can write

F (y) − F (z) = [F (y) − A(x, y)] + [A(x, y) − A(x, z)] + [A(x, z) − F (z)]. Then we get kF (y) − A(x, y)k ≤

ε ε kx − yk = kx − yk, 2 4

and similarly, kF (z) − A(x, z)k ≤

ε kx − zk. 4

Using the estimate kA(x, u) − A(x, v)k ≥ kA(x0 , u) − A(x0 , v)k

− k[A(x, u) − A(x0 , u)] − [A(x, v) − A(x0 , v)]k,

we get in turn δ(A(x, ·), D) = o n , u 6= v, u, v ∈ D ≥ δ(A(x0 , ·), D) = inf kA(x,u)−A(x,v)k ku−vk k[A(x,u)−A(x0 ,u)]−[A(x,v)−A(x0 ,v)]k − sup , u 6= v, u, v ∈ D ku−vk ≥ d − ε0 kx − x0 k ≥ d − ε0 ρ.

Hence, we get 1 kF (y) − F (z)k ≥ (d − ε0 ρ)ky − zk − εky − zk 2 and for y 6= z kF (y) − F (z)k 1 ≥ d − ε0 ρ − ε . ky − zk 2 From now on we set D = U (x0 , R). We can now state and prove the main semilocal convergence theorem for Newton’s method: Theorem 7.3.4 Let X and Y be Banach spaces, D a closed convex subset of X, x0 ∈ D, ε > 0, ε0 ≥ 0, and F a continuous operator from D into Y . Suppose that F has an (x0 , ε0 , ε) (PBA) approximation on D. Moreover assume: (a) δ(A(x0 , ·), D) ≥ d0 ≥ ε > 0; (b) 2ε0 η ≤ min 2(d0 − ε), d0 + 12 ε ;

7.3. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 3: Local Lipschitzian Assumptions 267 (c) for each y ∈ U (0, d0 η) the equation A(x0 , x) = y has a solution x; (d) the solution S(x0 ) of A(x0 , S(x0 )) = 0 satisfies kS(x0 ) − x0 k ≤ η, and (e) U (x0 , 2η) ⊆ D. Then the Newton iteration defining xn+1 by A(xn , xn+1 ) = 0

(n ≥ 0)

(7.3.7)

remains in U (x0 , 2η), and converges to a solution x∗ ∈ U(x0 , 2η) of equation F (x) = 0. Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn ,

(7.3.8)

kxn − x∗ k ≤ 2η − tn

(7.3.9)

and

where lim tn = 2η n→∞

1 t0 = 0, t1 = η, tn+2 = tn+1 + (tn+1 − tn ). 2 Proof. We use Lemma 7.3.2 with quantities F , G, x0 , and y0 replaced by A(x, ·), A(x1 , ·) − A(x, ·), x1 = S(x0 ), and 0 respectively. Hypothesis (a) of Lemma 7.3.2 follows from the fact that A(x0 , x) = y has a unique solution x1 (since δ(A(x0 , ·), D) > 0). For hypothesis (b) we have δ(A(x1 , ·), U ) ≥ δ(A(x0 , ·), U ) − ε0 kx1 − x0 k ≥ d0 − ε0 η > 0. To show (c) we must have U (x1 , η) ⊆ D. Instead by hypothesis (e) of the theorem it suffices to show: U (x1 , η) ⊂ U (x0 , 2η), which is true since kx1 − x0 k + η ≤ 2η. Note that kA(x0 , x1 ) − A(x1 , x1 )k ≤

ε ε kx0 − x1 k ≤ η 2 2

and since d0 ≤ d1 = δ0 (A(x0 , ·), D), we get θ ≥ (1 − 2ηε0 d−1 1 )d0 η − kA(x0 , x1 ) − A(x1 , x1 )k 1 1 ≥ (1 − 2ηε0 d−1 )d η − εη = d − 2ε η − ε η ≥ 0, 0 0 0 0 2 2

by hypothesis (b). That is condition (d) of the Lemma is also satisfied. It now follows from Lemma 7.3.2 that for each y ∈ U (0, 2η − kx1 − x0 k), the equation A(x1 , z) = y has a unique solution z = x2 in U since δ(A(x1 , ·), D) > 0. We also have A(x0 , x1 ) = A(x1 , x2 ) = 0, and A(x1 , x1 ) = F (x1 ). By Definition 7.1.2 we get in turn: kx2 − x1 k ≤ δ(A(x1 , ·), U )−1 kA(x1 , x2 ) − A(x1 , x1 )k

by hypothesis (b). Hence, we showed: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn ,

(7.3.10)

U (xn+1 , 2η − tn+1 ) ⊆ U (xn , 2η − tn )

(7.3.11)

hold for n = 0, 1. Moreover for every z ∈ U (x1 , 2η − t1 ), kz − x0 k ≤ kz − x1 k + kx1 − x0 k ≤ 2η − t1 + t1 = 2η − t0 , implies z ∈ U (x0 , 2η − t0 ). Given they hold for n = 0, 1, . . . , k, then kxk+1 − x0 k ≤

The induction can easily be completed by simply replacing above x0 , x1 by xn , xn+1 respectively. Furthermore scalar sequence {tn } is Cauchy. From (7.3.10) and (7.3.11) it follows {xn } is Cauchy too in a Banach space X and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , 2η). Then we have ε kxn+1 − xn k 2 ε ≤ (tn+1 − tn ). 2

kF (xn+1 )k = kF (xn+1 − A(xn , xn+1 )k ≤

That is kF (xn+1 )k converges to 0 as n → ∞. By the continuity of F we deduce F (x∗ ) = 0. Estimate (7.3.9) follows from (7.3.8) by using standard majorization techniques. Finally note n+1 1 − 12 1 tn+2 = tn+1 + (tn+1 − tn ) = · · · = η 2 1 − 21 and consequently lim tn = 2η.

7.3. Convergence of Newton-Kantorovich Method. Case 3: Local Lipschitzian Assumptions 269 Remark 7.3.2 The uniqueness of the solution x∗ was not studied in Theorem 7.3.4. Indeed, we do not know if under the conditions stated above the solution x∗ is unique, say in U(x0 , 2η). However, we can obtain a uniqueness result by using Lemma 7.3.3 at the point x0 , so that if ρ satisfies 2η < ρ < d0 − 12 ε ε−1 for ε ∈ (0, 2d0 ), ε > 0, ε0 > 0, and U(x0 , ε1 ) ⊆ D, 0 = ε1

then operator F is one-to-one in a neighborhood of x∗ , since x∗ ∈ U (x0 , 2η). Therefore x∗ is an isolated zero of F in this case.

Example 7.3.1 Let us show how to choose operator A in some interesting cases. Let B(u) ∈ L(X, Y ) the space of bounded linear operators from X into Y , and define A by A(u, v) = F (u) + B(u)(v − u). This is the class of the so-called Newton-like methods (see Section 5.1). Moreover assume there exist nonnegative, nondecreasing functions βt (p, q) and γ(p) on [0, +∞) × [0, +∞) and [0, +∞) respectively, and F ′ (u) ∈ L(X, Y ) such that: kF ′ (x + t(y − x)) − B(x0 )k ≤ βt (kx − x0 k, ky − x0 k) and kB(x) − B(x0 )k ≤ γ(kx − x0 k) for all x, y ∈ U (x0 , R), t ∈ [0, 1]. Then we can have Z 1 F (v) − F (u) − B(u)(v − u) = [F ′ (u + t(v − u)) − B(x0 )](v − u)dt 0

+ (B(x0 ) − B(u))(v − u).

Therefore we can define βt (p, q) = ℓ[(1 − t)p + tq]

(ℓ > 0)

and γ(p) = ℓp. In the special case of Newton’s method, i.e. when B(u) = F ′ (u) we can set ε0 = ε = 4ℓ[βt (R, R) + γ(R)] = 4ℓR. In this case crucial condition (b) of Theorem 7.3.4 becomes R≤

d0 . 4ℓ(1 + 2η)

270

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

We must also have U(x0 , 2η) ⊆ U (x0 , R), i.e. 2η ≤ R. By combining all the above we deduce: d0 R ∈ 2η, 4ℓ(1 + 2η) provided that: " # p −ℓ + ℓ(ℓ + d0 ) η ∈ 0, . 4ℓ Consider function F defined on [0, ∞) and given by 1

x1+ n F (x) = 1 + n1

(n > 1).

Then F ′ is center-Lipschitz with modulus 1 since for x0 = 1 (see Section 5.2). However F ′ is not Lipschitz on [0, ∞). Therefore the Newton–Kantorovich Theorem in the form given in [302] cannot apply here, whereas our Theorem 7.3.4 can.

Convergence of the Secant Method Using Majorizing Sequences

We noticed (see the numerical example at the end of this section) that such an approximations of the kind discussed in the previous sections may not exist. Therefore in order to solve a wider range of problems we introduce a more flexible and precise point-based-approximation which is more suitable for Newton-like methods and in particular for Secant-type iterative procedures (see Section 5.1). A local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for the Secant method is provided, and our approach is justified through numerical examples. We need a definition of a point-based-approximation (PBA) for operator F which is suitable for the Secant method. Definition 7.4.1 Let F be an operator from a closed subset D of a metric space (X, m) into a normed linear space Y . Operator F has a (PBA) on D at the point x0 ∈ D if there exists an operator A : D × D × D → Y and scalars ℓ0 , ℓ such that u, v, w, x, y and z in D, kF (w) − A(u, v, w)k ≤ ℓm(u, w)m(v, w), k[A(x, y, z) − A(x0 , x0 , z)] − [A(x, y, w) − A(x0 , x0 , w)]k ≤ ℓ0 [m(x, x0 ) + m(y, x0 )]m(z, w),

(7.4.1)

(7.4.2)

7.4. Convergence of the Secant Method Using Majorizing Sequences

271

and k[A(x, y, z) − A(u, v, z)] − [A(x, y, w) − A(u, v, w)]k ≤ ℓ[m(x, u) + m(u, v)]m(z, w).

(7.4.3)

We then say A is a (PBA) for F . This definition is suitable for the application of the Secant method. Indeed let X be also a normed linear space, D a convex set and F having a divided difference of order one on D × D denoted by [x, y; F ] and satisfying the standard condition [68], [99], [213], [217] (see also Chapter 2): k[u, v; F ] − [w, x; F ]k ≤ ℓ(ku − wk + kv − xk)

(7.4.4)

for all u, v, w and x in D. If we set A(u, v, w) = F (v) + [u, v; F ](w − v)

(7.4.5)

then (7.4.1) becomes kF (w) − F (v) − [u, v; F ](w − v)k ≤ ℓku − wk kv − wk,

(7.4.6)

whereas (7.4.2) and (7.4.3) are equivalent to property (7.4.4) of linear operator [·, ·; F ]. Note that a (PBA) does not imply differentiability. It follows by (7.4.1) that one way of finding a solution x∗ of equation F (x) = 0 is to solve for w the equation A(x, y, w) = 0

(7.4.7)

provided that x and y are given. We state the following generalization of the classical Banach Lemma 1.3.2 on invertible operators. The proof can be found in Lemma 7.1.3. Lemma 7.4.2 Let X, D and Y be as in Definition 7.4.1. Assume further X is a Banach space. Let F and G be operators from D into Y with G being Lipschitzian with modulus ℓ and center-Lipschitzian with modulus ℓ0 . Let x0 ∈ D with F (x0 ) = y0 . Assume that: U (y0 , α) ⊆ F (D);

(7.4.8)

0 ≤ ℓ < d;

(7.4.9)

U (x0 , d−1 1 α)

⊆ D,

(7.4.10)

and θ0 = (1 − ℓ0 d−1 1 )α − kG(x0 )k ≥ 0.

(7.4.11)

272

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

Then the following hold: U (y0 , θ0 ) ⊆ (F + G)(U (x0 , d−1 1 α))

(7.4.12)

δ(F + G, D) ≥ d − ℓ > 0.

(7.4.13)

and

The advantages of this approach have been explained in Remark 7.1.1. The following lemma is used to show uniqueness of the solution in the semilocal case and convergence of Secant method in the local case. Lemma 7.4.3 Let X and Y be normed linear spaces, and let D be a closed subset of X. Let F : D → Y , and let A be a (PBA) for operator F on D at the point x0 ∈ D. Denote by d the quantity δ(A(x0 , x0 , ·), D). If U (x0 , ρ) ⊆ D, then δ(F, U (x0 , ρ)) ≥ d − (2ℓ0 + ℓ)ρ.

(7.4.14)

In particular, if d − (2ℓ0 + ℓ)ρ > 0, then F is one-to-one on U (x0 , ρ). Proof. Let w, z be points in U (x0 , ρ). We can write F (w) − F (z) = [F (w) − A(x, y, w)] + [A(x, y, w) − A(x, y, z)] + [A(x, y, z) − F (z)]

By (7.4.1) we can have kF (w) − A(x, y, w)k ≤ ℓkx − wk ky − wk and kF (z) − A(x, y, z)k ≤ ℓkx − zk ky − zk. Moreover we can find kA(x, y, u) − A(x, y, v)k ≥ kA(x0 , x0 , u) − A(x0 , x0 , v)k

− k[A(x, y, u) − A(x0 , x0 , u)] − [A(x, y, v) − A(x0 , x0 , v)]k

and therefore δ(A(x, y, ·), D) ≥ ≥ δ(A(x0 , x0 , ·), D) ( k[A(x, y, u) − A(x0 , x0 , u)] − [A(x, y, v) − A(x0 , x0 , v)]k − sup , ku − vk ) u 6= v, u, v ∈ D

≥ d − ℓ0 (kx − x0 k + ky − x0 k) ≥ d − 2ℓ0 ρ.

(7.4.15)

Furthermore, we can now have kF (w) − F (z)k ≥ (d − 2ℓ0 ρ)kw − zk − ℓ[kx − wk ky − wk + kx − zk ky − zk] ℓ ≥ (d − 2ℓ0 ρ)kw − zk − kw − zk2 2 and for w 6= z, kF (w) − F (z)k ≥ d − (2ℓ0 + ℓ)ρ. kw − zk

(7.4.16)

Remark 7.4.1 In order for us to compare our result with the corresponding Lemma 2.4 in [302, p. 294], first note that if: (a) equality holds in both inequalities in (7.3.6), u = v and x = y in (7.4.1)–(7.4.3), then our result reduces to Lemma 2.4 by setting k2 = ℓ = ℓ0 . (b) Strict inequality holds in any of the inequalities in (7.3.6), u = v and x = y then our Lemma 7.4.3 improves (enlarges) the range for ρ, and under the same computational cost. The implications of that are twofold (see Theorems 7.4.5 and 7.4.6 that follows): in the semilocal case the uniqueness ball is more precise, and in the local case the radius of convergence is enlarged. We will need our result on majorizing sequences for the Secant method. The proof using conditions (C1 )–(C3 ) can be found in [94], whereas for well-known condition (C4 ) see e.g. [306]. Detailed comparisons between conditions (C1 )–(C4 ) were given in [93]. In particular if strict inequality holds in (7.3.6) (first inequality) the error bounds under (C1 )–(C3 ) are more precise and the limit of majorizing sequence more accurate than under condition (C4 ). Note also that these conditions are obtained as special cases of Lemma 5.1.1. Lemma 7.4.4 Assume for η ≥ 0, c ≥ 0, d0 > 0: (C1 ) for all n ≥ 0 there exists δ ∈ [0, 1) such that: (C1 )

ℓδ n (1 + δ)η +

Moreover, the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: 0 ≤ sn+1 − sn ≤ δ(sn − sn+1 ) ≤ δ n+1 η. We denote by (C), Conditions (C1 ) or (C2 ) or (C3 ) or (C4 ). We can state and prove the main semilocal convergence result for the Secant method involving a (PBA). Theorem 7.4.5 Let X and Y be Banach spaces, D a closed convex subset of X, x−1 , and x0 ∈ D with kx−1 − x0 k ≤ c, and F a continuous operator from D into Y . Suppose operator F has a (PBA) on D at the point x0 . Moreover assume: δ(A(x−1 , x0 , ·), D) ≥ d0 > 0; Condition (C) holds; for each y ∈ U (x0 , d0 (t∗ − t1 ) the equation A(x−1 , x0 , x) = y has a solution x; the solution S(x−1 , x0 ) of A(x−1 , x0 , S(x−1 , x0 )) = 0 satisfies kS(x−1 , x0 ) − x0 k ≤ η; and U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊆ D. Then the Secant iteration defining xn+1 by A(xn−1 , xn , xn+1 ) = 0

(7.4.19)

remains in U (x0 , t∗ ), and converges to a solution x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) of equation F (x) = 0. Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn

(7.4.20)

kxn − x∗ k ≤ t∗ − tn ,

(7.4.21)

and

where sequence {tn } is defined by (7.4.17) and t∗ = lim tn . n→∞

Proof. We use Lemma 7.4.2 with quantities F , G, x0 and y0 replaced by A(w, x, ·), A(x0 , x1 , ·) − A(v, x, ·), x1 = S(x−1 , x0 ), and 0 respectively. Hypothesis (7.4.8) of the Lemma follows from the fact that A(x−1 , x0 , x) = y has a unique solution x1 (since d0 = δ(A(x−1 , x0 , ·), D) > 0). For hypothesis (7.4.9) we have using (7.4.2) δ(A(x0 , x1 , ·), D) ≥ δ(A(x−1 , x0 , ·), D) − ℓ0 (kx0 − x−1 k + kx1 − x0 k) ≥ d0 − ℓ0 t1 > 0

by (C)).

(7.4.22)

276

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

To show (7.4.10) we must have U (x1 , t∗ −t1 ) ⊆ D. Instead by hypothesis U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊆ D, it suffices to show: U (x1 , t∗ − t1 ) ⊂ U (x0 , t∗ ) which is true since kx1 − x0 k + t∗ − t1 ≤ t∗ . We also have by (7.4.1) kA(x−1 , x0 , x1 ) − A(x1 , x1 , x1 )k ≤ ℓ(t1 − t−1 )(t1 − t0 ).

(7.4.23)

It follows by (7.4.11) and (7.4.23) that θ0 ≥ 0 if θ0 ≥ [1 − ℓ0 d−1 1 (c + η)]d0 η − ℓ(t1 − t−1 )(t1 − t0 ) ≥ 0,

(7.4.24)

which is true by (7.4.17) and since d0 ≤ d1 = δ0 (A(x−1 , x0 , ·), D). It follows from Lemma 7.4.2 that for each y ∈ U (0, r − kx1 − x0 k), the equation A(x0 , x1 , z) = y has a unique solution since δ(A(x0 , x1 , ·), D) > 0. We also have A(x0 , x1 , x2 ) = A(x−1 , x0 , x1 ) = 0. By Definition 7.1.2, the induction hypothesis, (7.4.1) and (7.4.17) we get in turn: kx2 − x1 k ≤ δ(A(x0 , x1 , ·), D)−1 kA(x−1 , x0 , x1 ) − F (x1 )k ≤ ≤

ℓkx−1 − x0 k kx0 − x1 k d0 − ℓ0 (kx0 − x−1 k + kx1 − x0 k)

d−1 0 ℓ(t1 − t−1 )(t1 − t0 ) = t2 − t1 . 1 − d−1 0 ℓ 0 t1

(7.4.25)

Hence we showed: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn ,

(7.4.26)

U (xn+1 , t∗ − tn+1 ) ⊂ U (xn , t∗ − tn )

(7.4.27)

and

hold for n = 0, 1. Moreover for every v ∈ U (x1 , t∗ − t1 ) kv − x0 k ≤ kv − x1 k + kx1 − x0 k ≤ t∗ − t1 + t1 − t0 , implies v ∈ U (x0 , t∗ − t0 ). Given they hold for n = 0, 1, . . . , j, then kxj+1 − x0 k ≤

j+1 X i=1

j+1 X kxi − xi−1 k ≤ (ti − ti−1 ) = tj+1 − t0 . i=1

7.4. Convergence of the Secant Method Using Majorizing Sequences

277

The induction for (7.4.26) and (7.4.27) can easily be completed by simply replacing x−1 , x0 , x1 , by xn−1 , xn , xn+1 respectively. Indeed corresponding to (7.4.24) we have: θ0 ≥ [1−ℓ0d−1 1 (tn+1 −t0 +tn )]d0 (tn+2 −tn+1 )−ℓ(tn+1 −tn−1 )(tn+1 −tn ) = 0, (7.4.28) which is true by (7.4.17). Scalar sequence {tn } is Cauchy. From (7.4.26) and (7.4.27) it follows {xn } is Cauchy too in a Banach space X, and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). Moreover we have by (7.4.1) and (7.4.26) kF (xn+1 )k = kF (xn+1 ) − A(xn−1 , xn , xn+1 )k

≤ ℓkxn − xn−1 k kxn − xn+1 k ≤ ℓ(tn − tn−1 )(tn+1 − tn ) −→ 0 as n → ∞.

By the continuity of F we deduce F (x∗ ) = 0. Finally estimate (7.4.21) follows from (7.4.20) by using standard majorization techniques. Remark 7.4.2 The uniqueness of the solution x∗ was not considered in Theorem 7.4.5. Indeed, we do not know if under the conditions stated above the solution x∗ is unique, say in U (x0 , t∗ ). However using Lemma 7.4.3 we can obtain a uniqueness result, so that if ρ satisfies t∗ < ρ <

d0 , 2ℓ0 + ℓ

(7.4.29)

then operator F is one-to-one in a neighborhood of x∗ , since x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). That is x∗ is an isolated zero of F in this case. The corresponding local convergence result for the Secant method is given by: Theorem 7.4.6 Assume: x∗ ∈ D is an isolated zero if F on D; operator F has a (PBA) on D at the point x∗ of modulus (L, L0 ). Moreover assume that the following hold: δ(A(x∗ , x∗ , ·), D) ≥ d∗ > 0; 0 ≤ r∗ <

d∗ ; 2L0 + 3L

for each y ∈ U (0, r∗ d∗ ) and provided x−1 , x0 ∈ U 0 (x∗ , r∗ ) the equation A(x−1 , x0 , x) = y has a solution x satisfying kx − x∗ k ≤ r∗ ; and U (x∗ , r∗ ) ⊆ D.

278

7. Equations with Nonsmooth Operators

Then Secant method {xn } generated by (7.4.19) is well defined, remains in U (x∗ , r∗ ) for all n ≥ 0, and converges to x∗ . Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − x∗ k ≤

(d∗ )−1 L(kxn−1 − xn k + kxn − x∗ k) kxn − x∗ k. 1 − (d∗ )−1 L0 (kxn−1 − x∗ k + kxn − x∗ k)

(7.4.30)

Proof. The proof is omitted as it is similar to Theorem 7.4.5. Note that local results were not given in [302]. Example 7.4.1 We show how to choose operator A in cases not covered in [302]. Let X = Y = (R2 , k · k∞ ). Consider again the system given in Example 5.1.1. Set for v = (v1 , v2 ), kvk∞ = k(v1 , v2 )k∞ = max{|v1 |, |v2 |}, F (v) = P (v) + Q(v), P = (P1 , P2 ), Q = (Q1 , Q2 ). Define P1 (v) = 3v12 v2 + v22 − 1, P2 (v) = v14 + v1 v23 − 1, Q1 (v) = |v1 − 1|,

Q2 (v) = |v2 |.

We shall take divided differences of order one [x, y; P ], [x, y; Q] ∈ M2×2 (R) to be for w = (w1 , w2 ): [v, w, P ]i,1 =

Pi (w1 , w2 ) − Pi (v1 , w2 ) , w1 − v1

[v, w, P ]i,2 =

Pi (v1 , w2 ) − Pi (v1 , v2 ) w2 − v2

provided that w1 6= v1 and w2 6= v2 . If w1 = v1 or w2 = v2 replace [x, y; P ] by P ′ . Similarly we define [v, w; Q]i,1 =

Qi (w1 , w2 ) − Qi (v1 , w2 ) , w1 − v1

[v, w; Q]i,2 =

Qi (v1 , w2 ) − Qi (v1 , v2 ) w2 − v2

for w1 6= v1 and w2 6= v2 . If w1 = v1 or w2 = v2 replace [x, y; Q] by the zero 2 × 2 matrix in M2×2 (R). We consider three interesting choices for operator A: A(v, v, w) = P (v) + Q(v) + P ′ (v)(w − v),

(7.4.31)

A(u, v, w) = P (v) + Q(v) + ([u, v; P ] + [u, v; Q])(w − v)

A(u, v, w) = P (v) + Q(v) + (P ′ (v) + [u, v; Q])(w − v).

Using method (7.4.31) for x0 = (1, 0), and both methods (7.4.32) and (7.4.33) for x−1 = (5, 5), x0 = (1, 0) we obtain the following three tables respectively: We did not verify the hypotheses of Theorem 7.4.5 for the above starting points. However, it is clear that the hypotheses of Theorem 7.4.5 are satisfied for all three methods for starting points closer to the solution x∗ = (.894655373334687, .327826521746298) chosen from the lists of the same tables given in Section 5.1. Note that the results in [303] cannot apply here because operator A no matter how it is chosen cannot satisfy the Lipschitz conditions (a) or (b) in Definition 2.1 in [302, p. 293] needed for the application of Theorem 3.2 in the same paper. Another possible application is also given in the example at the end in Exercise 7.5.1.

We need the following definition of a point-based approximation for p-H¨olderian operators: Definition 7.5.1 Let f be an operator from a closed subset D of a metric space (X, m) to a normed linear space Y , and let x0 ∈ D, p ∈ (0, 1]. We say f has a point-based approximation (PBA) on D at x0 ∈ D if there exist an operator A : D × D → Y and scalars ℓ, ℓ0 such that for each u, and v in D, kf (v) − A(u, v)k ≤ ℓm(u, v)p

then equation F (x) = 0 says kF (v) − f (u) − f ′ (u)(v − u)k ≤ ℓkv − ukp , where as parts (7.5.2) and (7.5.3) are equivalent to the H¨olderian and center H¨olderian property of f ′ .

Remark 7.5.2 Our Theorem 7.5.8 compares favorably with Theorem 3.2 in [302, p. 298]. First of all the latter theorem cannot be used when e.g. p ∈ [1, 2) (see the example that follows). In the case p = 2 our condition (7.5.44) becomes for δ0 = δ1 h0 = δ0−1 (ℓ + 4ℓ0 )η ≤ 1

(7.5.45)

where as the corresponding one in [302] becomes h = 4δ0−1 ℓη ≤ 1.

(7.5.46)

Clearly (7.5.45) is weaker than (7.5.46) if 4 ℓ > . ℓ0 3

(7.5.47)

But ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. Therefore our Theorem 7.5.8 can be used in cases when Theorem 3.2 in [302] cannot when p = 2. Example 7.5.1 Let X = Rm−1 , m ≥ 2 an integer and define matrix operator Q on X by Q(z) = M + M1 (z),

z = (z1 , z2 , . . . , zm−1 ),

(7.5.48)

where M is a real (m − 1) × (m − 1) matrix, ( 0 i 6= j, M1 (z) = mij = p zi , i=j and e.g. p ∈ [1, 2). Operators Q of the form (7.5.48) appear in many discretization studies in connection with the solution of two boundary value problems [68]. Clearly no matter how operator A is chosen the conditions in Definition 2.1 in [302, p. 293] cannot hold, whereas our result can apply.

Comparison with Moore Theorem

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x* of equation

where F: D C IRk + IRk is continuously differentiable on an open convex set D , and Ic is a positive integer. Rall in [290] compared the theorems of Kantorovich and Moore. This comparison showed that the Kantorovich theorem has only a slight advantage over the Moore theorem with regard to sensitivity and precision, while the latter requires less computational cost. Later Neumaier and Shen [255] showed that when the derivative in the Krawczyk operator is replaced with a suitable slope then the corresponding existence theorem is at least as effective as the Kantorovich theorem with respect to sensitivity and precision. At the same time Zuhe and Wolfe [369] showed that the hypotheses in the affine invariant form of the Moore theorem are always implied by the Newton-Kantorovich theorem 4.2.4 but not necessarily vice versa. Here we show that this implication is not true in general for a weaker version of theorem 4.2.4. We will need the following semilocal convergence theorem for Newton's method due to Deuflhard and Heindl [143]:

then (8.1.19) holds. That is Moore's theorem guarantees convergence of method (4.1.3) to a solution x* of equation F ( x ) = 0 provided that (8.1.28) holds. However we can do better. Indeed, since lo= 3 - a

Miranda Theorem

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x* of an equation

where F is defined on an open convex subset S of Rn (n a positive integer) with values in Rn. We showed in Section 5.1 that the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51) can always be replaced by the weaker (5.1.56). Here we first weaken the generalization of Miranda's theorem (Theorem 4.3 in [227]). Then we show that operators satisfying the weakened Newton-Kantorovich conditions satisfy those of the weakened Miranda's theorem. In order for us to compare our results with earlier ones we need to list the following theorems guaranteeing the existence of solution x* of equation (8.2.1) (see Chapter 4).

Theorem 8.2.1 Let F : S + Rn be a Fre'chet-differentiable operator. Assume: there exists xo E S such that F1(xo)-l E L(Y,X), and set

there exists an 7 2 0 such that

there exists an e > 0 such that

Remark 8.2.1 Theorem 8.2.1 is the portion of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem (4.2.4). The following theorem is due to Miranda [236], which is a generalization of the intermediate value theorem: Theorem 8.2.2 Let b > 0, xo E Rn, and define

Q = { x E Rn I IIx - xollm I b},

Qi= { X E Q : xk = X O +, ~b), and

Let F = (Fk) ( 1 5 k 5 n ) :Q k = l , 2 ,..., n,

Then there exists x* E Q such that F ( x * ) = 0. The following result connects Theorems 8.2.1 and 8.2.2. Theorem 8.2.3 Suppose F : S + Rn satisfies all hypotheses of Theorem 8.21 in the maximum norm, then G satisfies the conditions of Theorem 8.2.3 on U ( x o r, * ) .

In the elegant study [227]a generalization of Theorem 8.2.3 was given (Theorem 4.3). We first weaken this generalization. Let Rn be equipped with a norm denoted by 11 . 11 and RnXn with a norm 11 . 11 such that IIM . X I [ 5 llMll. IIxII for a11 M E RnXn and x E Rn. Choose constants co, cl > 0 such that for all x E Rn

Computation of Orbits

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating shadowing orbits for dynamical systems. It is well known in the theory of dynamical systems that actual computations of complicated orbits rarely produce good approximations to the trajectory. However under certain conditions, the computed section of an orbit lies in the shadow of a true orbit. Hence using product spaces and the results in Section 5.1, we show that the sufficient conditions for the convergence of Newton's method to a true orbit can be weakened under the same computational cost as in the elegant work by Hadeller in [177]. Moreover the information on the location of the solutions is more precise and the corresponding error bounds are finer. Let f be a F'rkchet-differentiable operator defined on an open convex subset D of a Banach space X with values in X. The operator f defines a local dynamical system as follows:

as long as xk E D . ~ D with x,+l = f (x,), i = 0, ...,N - 1 is called an A sequence { x , ) ~ in orbit. Any sequence { x , ) ~ ~ ,x, E D , rn = 0, ...,N is called a pseudo-orbit of length N. We can now pass to product spaces. Let y = X N + l equipped with maximum norm. The norm x = (xo, ..., xN) E Y is given by

Continuation Methods

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a solution x* of equation

where F is an operator mapping a subset D of a normed linear space X into X. An efficient way of approximating x* is to imbed (8.4.1) into an equation of the form

where t E [O,1]= J is a parameter. The imbedding is chosen so that at t = 0 , the solution of (8.4.2) is a known point xo, while at t = 1, the solution X I of (8.4.2) also solves (8.4.1). A popular choice of mapping H is

We then suppose that there exist a continuous solution curve x* : J + D of (8.4.2) starting at xo. The continuation method continues in an unspecified way along or near the curve x = x ( t ) from the initial point xo = x ( 0 ) to the terminal point X l = x(1). Here we revisit the elegant work by Avila in [I031 and show that it is possible by providing a more precise local convergence analysis to provide under the same or weaker hypotheses and computational cost a larger convergence radius and finer error bounds on the distances involved. That is we can enlarge the set of initial guesses and reduce the number of steps required to achieve a certain error tolerance between x* and its k-th approximation. We use the popular Newton's method and assume for simplicity that X = Rn although our results can be immediately extended to Banach spaces along the lines of our work in Section 5.1. To avoid repetition we refer the reader to Avila [103]for the definitions of the concepts introduced here. Despite the fact that all results obtained in [103]can be

rewritten to justify the benefits claimed at the introduction we only prove the main ones out of those and only suggest how the rest can be modified. We need the following result concerning an extension of the strongness of the derivative.

c J x Rn + Rn has a partial Fre'chet-derivative with respect to x at a point (t*,x * ) E J x D for which H ( t * ,x*) = 0. Moreover let Uo c D be an open neighborhood of x* and loc J a relatively open neighborhood o f t * , and assume that the operator A: I. x Uo + L ( R n , Rn) is continuous at (t*,x * ) and that A(t*,x * ) has a bounded inverse. Then [I031 there exists a relatively open internal I c I. and a ball U = n ( x * ,6 ) c Uo, S > 0 , on which the operator Lemma 8.4.1 Let D be an open subset of Rn. Assume H : J x D

for all (t,x ) , (t,y ) E lox Uo, then the continuity of H at (t*,x * ) and strongness of H, (t*,x * ) implies the strongness of G,(t*, x*). Proof. Let us fix E E ( 0 , l ) and set S = & so that

Approximate solution of equation involves a complex problem: choice of an initial approximation xo sufficiently close to the true solution. The method of random choice is often successful. Another frequently used method is to replace

F ( x )= 0

(8.5.1)

by a "similar" equation and to regard the exact solution of the latter as the initial approximation xo. Of course, there are no general "prescriptions" for admissible

8. Applications of the weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem

initial approximations. Nevertheless, one can describe various devices suitable for extensive classes of equations. As usual, let F map X into Y. To simplify the exposition, we shall assume that F is defined throughout X . Assume that G (x.A) ( x E X ; 0 5 A 5 1 ) is an operator with values in Y such that

G ( x ;1 ) = F x

(xE X ),

(8.5.2)

and the equation

G ( x ;0 ) = 0

(8.5.3)

has an obvious solution xO. for example, the operator G ( x ;A) might be defined by

G ( x ;A)

=F

x - ( 1 - A) FX'.

(8.5.4)

Consider the equation

Suppose that equation (8.5.5) has a continuous solution x = x ( A ) , defined for 0 5 A 5 1 and satisfying the condition

Were the solution x ( A ) known,

would be a solution of equation (8.5.1). One can thus find a point xo close to x* by approximating x (A). Our problem is thus to approximate the implicit function defined by (8.5.5) and the initial conditions (8.5.6). Global propositions are relevant here theorems on implicit functions defined on the entire interval [0,11. the theory of implicit functions of this type is at present insufficiently developed. The idea of extending solutions with respect to a parameter is due to S.N. Bernstein [322];it has found extensive application in various theoretical and applied problems. Assume that the operator G ( x ;A) is differentiable with respect to both x and A, in the sense that there exist linear operators Gk ( x ;A) mapping X and Y and elements Gk ( x ;A) E Y such that lim Ilhll+lAxl+o

307

satisfying the initial condition (8.5.6). conditions for existence of a solution of this Cauchy problem defined on [0,1]are precisely conditions for existence of the implicit function. Assuming the existence of a continuous operator

we can rewrite equation (8.5.8) as

One must bear in mind that Peano's Theorem is false for ordinary differential equations in Banach spaces. Therefore, even in the local existence theorem for equation (8.5.10)with condition (8.5.6) one must assume that the right-hand side of the equation satisfies certain smoothness conditions. However, there are no sufficient smoothness conditions for the existence of a global extension of the solution to the entire interval 0 X 5 1. We shall only mention a trivial fact: if the equation

s

$ = f (x;A) in a Banach space satisfies the local existence theorem for some initial condition, and

then every solution of equation (8.5.11) can be extended to the entire interval 0 5 X 5 1. Thus, if

then equation (8.5.5)defines an implicit function which satisfies (8.5.6) and is defined for 0 5 X 5 a. consequently, condition (8.5.13) guarantees that equation (8.5.1)is solvable and its solution can be constructed by integrating the differential equation (8.5.10). To approximate a solution x (A) of equation (8.5.10),one can use, for example, Euler's method. To this end, divide the interval [O,1]into m subintervals by points

The approximate values x (Xi)of the implicit function x (A) are then determined by the equalities x (Ao)= xO and X

The element x (A,) is in general close to the solution x* of equation (8.5.1)and one may therefore expect it to fulfill the demands imposed on initial approximations for iterative solution of equation (8.5.1). We emphasize that (8.5.15)does not describe an iterative process; it only yields a finite sequence of operations, whose result is

an element which may be a suitable initial approximation for iterative solution of equation (8.5.1). Other constructions may be used to approximate the implicit function x (A). Partition the interval [ O , 1 ] by the points (8.5.14). The point x (XI) is a solution of the equation G (x, A1) = 0. Now x (Ao) = xO is a suitable initial approximation to x (A1) . Approximate x (A1) by performing a fixed number of steps of some iterative process. The result is an element xl which should be fairly close to x (A1). xl is obtained from xOby a certain operator xl = W [xO;G (x; XI)] . Now regard xl as an initial approximation to the solution x (Az) of the equation G (x; Az), and proceed as before. The result is an element xz:

Continuing in this way, we obtain a finite set of points

the last of which x,, may be regarded as an initial approximation for iterative solution of equation (8.5.1) If the operator W represents one iteration of the method, formula (8.5.16) is

Using the algorithm proposed by H.T. Kung [216] (see also [322]) we show that the number of steps required to compute a good starting point xo (to be precised later) can be significantly reduced.

Remark 8.5.1 In general

holds. If equality holds in (8.5.27) then the result stated above reduces to the famous Newton-Kantorovich theorem and (8.5.22) to the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51). If strict inequality holds in (8.5.27) then (8.5.22) is weaker than the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis

Moreover the error bounds on the distances llxn+l - xnll , llx, - x* 11 (n 2 0) are finer and the information on the location of the solution more precise. Note also that the computational cost of obtaining (KO,K ) is the same as the one for K since in practice evaluating K requires finding KO. Hence all results using (8.5.28) instead of (8.5.22) can now be challenged to obtain more information. That is exactly what we are doing here. In particular motivated by the elegant work of H.T. Kung [216] on good starting points for Newton's method we show how to improve on these results of we use our theorem stated above instead of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem. Definition 8.5.1 We say xo is a good starting point for approximating x* by Newton's method or a good starting point for short if conditions (8.5.18)-(8.5.25) hold.

Note that the existence of a good starting point implies the existence of a solution x* of equation F (x) = 0 in U (xo,250) .

An upper bound on the complexity of the iteration phase is the time needed to carry out T (6,K O ,K , E ) is the smallest integer K such that

Note also that if K O = K our Theorem 8.5.3 reduces to Theorem 4.2 in [216, p. 151. Hence we showed the following result:

Theorem 8.5.4 Under the hypotheses of Theorem 8.5.3 the time needed to find a solution x* of equation F ( x ) = 0 inside a ball of radius E is bounded above by the time needed to carry out R (6,K O ,K , E ) Newton steps, where

where N (6,K O ,K , E ) and T (6,K O ,K , E ) are givey by (8.5.32) and (8.5.51) respectively. Remark 8.5.4 If K O = K Theorem 8.5.4 reduces to Theorem 4.3 i n [216, p. 201. I n order for us to compare our results with the corresponding ones i n [216] we computed the values of R ( E , K O ,K ) for F satisfying the conditions of Theorem 4.3 i n (2161 and Theorem 8.5.4 above with .4r, Prlo I

The following table gives the results for E = 1OP6r. Note that by I we mean I (60,K , K ) , IaK we mean I (60,K O ,K ) with K O = a K , a E [0,11. similarly for J , N and T.

Remark 8.5.5 It follows from the table that our results significantly improve the corresponding ones i n [216] and under the same computational cost. Suppose for example that ho = 9, 6 = .159. Kung found that the search phase can be done i n 255 Newton steps and the iteration phase i n 5 Newton steps. That is a root can be located inside a ball of radius using 260 Newton steps. However for K O = .9K, K O = .5K and K O = 0 the corresponding Newton steps are 245,179 and 104 respectively which constitute a significant improvement. A t the end of his paper Kung asked whether the number of Newton steps used by this procedure is close to the minimum. It is now clear from our approach that the answer is no (in general). Finally Kung proposed the open question: Suppose that the conditions of the Newton-kantorovich theorem hold: Is Newton's method optimal or close to optimal, i n terms of the numbers offunction and derivative equations required to approximate the solution x* of equation F ( x ) = 0 to within a given tolerance E ? Clearly according to our approach the answer is no (see also Remark 8.5.1).

8. Applications of the weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem

Convergence on a Cone

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a solution x* of equation (5.1.1). We propose the Newton-Kantorovich method (5.1.47) to generate a sequence approximating x*. This study is motivated by the elegant work in [116],where X is a real Banach space ordered by a closed convex cone K. We note that passing from scalar majorants to vector majorants enlarges the range of applications, since the latter uses the spectral radius which is usually smaller than its norm used by the former. Here using finer vector majorants than before (see [116]) we show under the same hyotheses: (a) sufficient convergence conditions can be obtained which are always weaker than before. (b) finer error bounds on the distances involved and an at least as precise information on the location of the solution z* are provided.

Several applications are provided. In particular we show as a special case that the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51) is weakened. Finally we study the local convergence of method (5.1.47). In order to make the study as self-contained as possible we need to introduce some concepts involving K-normed spaces. Let X be a real Banach space ordered by a closed convex cone K. We say that cone K is regular if every increasing sequence yl 5 y2 5 . - . 5 y, 5 . .. which is bounded above, converges in norm. If : y 5 yn 5 y: and limn,, : y = lim,, y: = y*, the regularity of K implies limn,, yn = y*. Let a , p E X the conic segment ( a , @ = {y I a 5 y 5 P). An operator Q in X is called positive if Q(y) E K for all y E K. Denote by L(X, X ) the space of all bounded linear operators in X , and L,,,(X2, X ) the space of bilinear,

symmetric, bounded operators from X 2 to X . By the standard linear isometry between L(X2,X), and L(X, L(X, X)), we consider the former embedded into the latter. Let D be a linearly connected subset of K , and cp be a continuous operator from D into L(X, X ) or L(X, L(X, X)). We say that the line integral of cp is independent of the path if for every polygonal line L in D, the line integral depends only on the initial and final point of L. We define

We need the definition of K-normed space [365]:

Definition 8.6.1 Let X be a real linear space. T h e n X is said t o be K-normed if operator I.[: X 3 Y satisfies:

]x[ > 0 (X E X); ]x[ = o + x = o ; ]rx[ = Irl]x[ (x E X , r E R); and

Let xo E X and r E K . T h e n we denote

Using K - n o r m we can define convergence o n X . A sequence {y,) ( n > 0) i n X is said to be (1) convergent to a limit y E X if lim ]y,- y[ = O

8. Applications of the weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem

The space X is complete if every Cauchy sequence is convergent. We use the following conditions: F is differentiable on the K-ball U(xo, R), and for every r E S = (0, R) there exist positive operators wo(r), m(r) E Ls,,(X2, X ) such that for all x E X

for all x E U(xo, r ) ,

for all x, y E U(xo,r), where operators wo,m: S + Lsy,(X2, X ) are increasing. Moreover the line integral of (similarly for wo) is independent of the path, and the same is true for the operator w: S + L(X, X ) given by

Note that in general wo(r) 5 m(r) for all r E S. The Newton-Leibniz formula holds for F on ~ ( X R): O,

for all segments [x,y] E U(xo, R); for every r E S there exists a positive operator wl(r) E L(X, X ) such that

where wl : S + L(X, X ) is increasing and the line integral of wl is independent of the path; Operator F1(xo) is invertible and satisfies:

Hence sequence

for all n 0. Furthermore if strict inequality holds in (8.6.6) so does in (8.6.39) and (8.6.40). If {r,} ( n 2 0 ) is a majorizing sequence for method (5.1.47), then (8.6.39) shows that the error bounds on the distances llxn+l - xnll are improved. It turns out that this is indeed the case. We can show the semilocal convergence theorem for method (5.1.47). Theorem 8.6.5 Assume: hypotheses (8.6.4), (8.6.5), (8.6.7), (8.6.8), (8.6.9), (8.6.15) hold, and operators (8.6.27) are invertible with positive inverses. Then sequence {x,) ( n 2 0 ) generated by Newton-Kantorovich method (5.1.48) is well defined, remains in the K-ball U ( x o , r * )for all n > 0 and converges to a solution x* of equation F ( x ) + G ( x ) = 0 in E ( r * ) , where E ( r * ) is given by (8.6.24).

Finally (8.6.42) follows from (8.6.41) by using standard majorization techniques. The uniqueness part is omitted since it follows exactly as in Theorem 2 in [116]. w

That is {t,) is a finer rnajorizing sequence than { r n ) and the information on the location of the solution x* is more precise. Therefore we wonder i f studying the convergence of { t n ) without assuming (8.6.15) can lead to weaker suficient convergence conditions for method (5.1.47). I n Theorem 8.6.7 we answer this question. But first we need the following lemma on majorizing sequences for method (5.1.47).

But then the right hand side of (8.6.53) with these changes becomes t,+' - t,. By Lemma 8.6.6 {t,) converges to t*.

With these choices our conditions reduces to the ones in Section 5.1 that have already been compared favourably with the Newton-Kantorovich theorem.

Convergence on Lie Groups

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a solution x* of the equation

where F is an operator mapping a Lie group to its corresponding Lie algebra. Most numerical algorithms are formulated on vector spaces with some type of a Banach space structure that allows the study of the convergence properties of the iteration. Recently, there has been an interest in studying numerical algorithms on manifolds (see [265] and the references there). Note that a suitable choice of coordinates can be interpreted locally to be the Euclidean space, which justifies the study of such algorithms on manifolds. In particular, Newton's method for solving equation (8.7.1) has already been introduced in the elegant work in [265], where the quadratic convergence of the algorithm was established provided that the initial guess is chosen from a ball of a certain convergence radius. Here by using more precise majorizing sequences we show that under the same hypotheses and computational cost a larger radius of convergence and finer error bounds can be obtained than before [265]. This observation allows a wider choice of initial guesses for starting Newton's method and shows that fewer iterations are required to find the solution than it is suggested in [265]. Finally we provide a numerical example to justify what we stated in the above paragraph. Our study is divided as follows: first we provide the background in condensed form needed for this paper, then we introduce Newton's method and state some results obtained in [265] that are needed for the main local convergence results appearing later in the study. A Lie group (G, .) is understood to have the structure of a smooth manifold, i.e. the group product and the inversion are smooth operations in the differentiable structure embedded in the manifold. The dimension of the Lie group equals the one of the corresponding manifold, and we assume that it is finite. We will need the definitions [265]: Definition 8.7.1 A Lie algebra g of a Lie group (G,.) is the tangent space at i (i the identity element of G), TGIi equzpped with the Lie bracket [-, 1- : g x g + g

It is well known that a Lie group (G, .) is a manifold and as such it is also a topological space. Therefore the notion of convergence is defined with respect to this topology. We find it convenient to introduce a Banach space structure on the Lie algebra g, and use it to analyze convergence.

Note that these advantages are obtained under the same computational cost, since in practice the evaluation of Lipschitz constant l requires the evaluation of the center Lipschitz constant lo. We complete this study with a numerical example. But first we need some background on some matrix groups. The set GL(k, R) of all invertible k x k matrices with real coefficients forms a Lie group called the general linear group under standard matrix multiplication. This Lie group has some interesting subgroups one

of which is the orthogonal group O ( k ,R) consisting of orthogonal matrices y such that y T y = Ik where Ik is the identity k x k matrix. The Lie algebra of GL(k, R) is denoted by g!(k, R) and it is the linear space of all real k x k matrices such that [ u , v ] = u v - v u . In particular the Lie algebra of O ( k , R) is the set of all k x k skew-symmetric matrices

sq(k, R) = { v E g!(k, R), vT

Example 8.7.1 W e consider the initial value problem

for y E G = O ( N ,R), where g ( y ) = s q ( N , R) and y(0) is a random initial guess for Newton's method (8.7.11)-(8.7.12). For simplicity we take N = 1. Choose y ( t ) = et, g ( t ) = e-t. Then by Lemma 8.7.7 we can get f ( t ) = 1 and a = b = 1. Note that (8.7.39) corresponds to the equation

where

W e now restrict F on U ( y ,r * ) = U ( 0 , l ) . B y using (8.7.10), (8.7.22) and (8.7.23) we can get

l = e and lo= e - 1. That is (8.7.35) holds as strict inequality. I n particular we obtain

Moreover (8.7.38) holds. Note that the results concerning Version 2 of Newton's method also studied in [265] can be immediately improved along the same lines. However we leave the details to the motivated reader.

Finite Element Analysis and Discretizations

In this Section we use our weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem introduced in Section 5.1 to show existence and uniqueness of solutions for strongly nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems [324]. Moreover, a priori estimates are

obtained as a direct consequence of this theorem. This study is motivated by the work in [324] where the Newton-Kantorovich theorem 4.2.4 was used. The advantages of our approach have been explained in detail in Section 5.1. Finally examples of boundary value problems where our results apply are provided.We assume the following: ( A l ) There are Banach spaces Z C X and U C Y such that the inclusions are continuous, and the restriction of F to Z , denoted again by F, is a Frkchetdifferentiable operator from Z to U. (A2) For any v E Z the derivative Ff(v) E L(Z, U ) can be extended to Ff(v) E L(X, Y) and it is: - locally Lipschitz continuous on Z, i.e., for any bounded convex set T L Z there exists a positive constant cl depending on T such that:

for all v, w E T - center locally Lipschitz continuous at a given uo E Z, i.e., for any bounded convex set T C Z, with uo E T, there exists a positive constant co depending on uo and T such that:

for all v E T. (As) There are Banach spaces V C Z and W C U such that the inclusions are continuous. We suppose that there exists a subset S C V for which the following holds: "if Ff(u) E L(V, W) is an isomorphism between V and W at u E S, then F f ( u ) E L(X, Y) is an isomorphism between X and Y as well." To define discretized solutions of F(u) = 0, we introduce the finite dimensional subspaces S d C Z and S d C U parametrized by d, 0 < d < 1 with the following properties: (Ad) There exists r L 0 and a positive constant ca independent of d such that

(As) There exists projection IId : X solution of F ( u ) = 0, then

Theorem 8.8.1 Assume that conditions (A1)-(&) hold. Suppose F1(uo)E L ( V , W ) is an isomorphism, and uo E S . Moreover, assume F1(uo) can be decomposed into F 1 ( u o )= Q R, where Q E L ( X , Y ) and R E L ( X , Y ) is compact. The discretized nonlinear operator Fd : Z -+ U is defined by

Then, for suficiently small d > 0 , there exists ud E Sd such that F d ( u d )= 0 , and ud is locally unique. Moreover, the following estimate holds

Proof. The proof is similar to the corresponding one in [324, Th. 2.1, p. 1261. However, there are some crucial differences where weaker (8.8.2) is used (needed) instead of stronger condition (8.8.1). Step 1. We claim that there exists a positive constant cg, independent of d, such that, for sufficiently small h > 0,

By step 1 , we know that FA(IId(uO))E L ( S d ,S d ) is an isomorphism. It follows from (8.8.1) and ( A 4 )that for any wd, ud E Sd,

Similarly, we get using (8.8.2) and ( A d ) that

Hence assumptions on the Lipschitz constants are satisfied with

Otherwise our condition (5.1.56) is weaker than the corresponding one i n [324] using the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (5.2.5). That is,

but not vice versa. A s already shown i n Section 5.1, finer estimates on the distances llud - Hd(uo)l[and a more precise information on the location of the solution are provided here and under the same computational cost since i n practive the evaluation of cl requires that of co. Note also that our parameter d will be smaller than the corresponding one in [324], which i n turn implies that fewer computations and smaller dimension subspaces Sd are used to appproximate u d . This observation is very important i n computational mathematics (681. The above observations suggest that all results obtained in [324]can be improved if rewritten using weaker (5.1.56) instead of stronger (5.2.5). However we do not attempt this here (leaving this task to the motivated reader). Instead we provide examples of nonlinear problems already reported in [324] where finite element methods apply along the lines of our Theorem above. Example 8.8.1 Find u E H h ( r ) , r = (b, c ) & R such that

( F ( u ) ,u ) =

[go(x,u, ul)d

+ g ( x , u,ul)u]d x = 0 ,

for all v E H,'(T), (8.8.27)

where go,g1 are suficiently smooth functions from r x R x R to R. Example 8.8.2 For the N-dimensional case ( N = 2,3): let D C RN be a bounded domain with a Lipschitz boundary. Then consider the problem: find u E H J ( d ) such that

( F ( u ) ,u ) =

+

[qo(x,21, V u ) V u q ( x ,u, V U )d~x ]= 0 , for all v E H;(d), (8.8.28)

where qo : D x R x RN + RN and q E D x R x RN + R are suficiently smooth functions. Since equations (8.8.27) and (8.8.28) are defined i n divergence form, their finite element solutions are defined in a natural way.

Chapter 9

The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming The Newton-Kantorovich theorem 4.2.4 with a few notable exceptions [293], [294], [282] has not been sufficiently utilized in the mathematical programming community. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a bridge between the two research communities by showing that the Newton-Kantorovich theorem can be used in analyzing LP and interior point methods, and can be used for obtaining optimal error bounds along the way. In Sections 1 and 2 we show how to improve on the elegant works of Renegar, Shub in [294] and Potra in [282]. To avoid repetitions, we simply refer the reader to the above excellent works for the development of these methods. We simply start from the point where the hypotheses made can be replaced by ours which are weaker. The benefits of this approach have also been explained in the introduction and in Section 5.1. We also note that the work in [294] is motivated by a Theorem of Smale in combination with the Newton-Kantorovich theorem, whereas the work in [282] differs from the above since it applies the latter theorem directly.

9.1

Case 1: Interior Point Methods

It has already been shown in [282] that the Newton-Kantorovich theorem can be used to construct and analyze optimal-complexity path following algorithms for linear complementary problems. Potra has chosen to apply this theorem to linear complementary problems because such problems provide a convenient framework for analyzing primal-dual interior point methods. Theoretical and experimental work conducted over the past decade has shown that primal-dual path following algorithms are among the best solution methods for linear programming (LP), quadratic programming (QP), and linear complementary problems (LCP) (see for example [285], [346]). Primal-dual path following algorithms are the basis of the 353

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming

best general-purpose practical methods, and they have important theoretical properties [304], [346], [354]. Potra, using the Newton-Kantorovich theorem 4.2.4, in particular showed how √ to construct path-following algorithms for LCP that have O( nL) iteration complexity [282]. Given a point x that approximates a point x(τ ) on the central path of the LCP with complementarity gap τ, the algorithms compute a parameter θ ∈ (0, 1) so that x satisfies the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51) for the equation defining x ((1 − θ) τ ) . It is proven that θ is bounded below by a multiple of n−1/2 . Since (4.2.51) is satisfied, the sequence generated by Newton’s method (4.1.3) or by the modified Newton method (take F ′ (xn ) = F ′ (x0 ), n ≥ 0) with starting x, will converge to x ((1 − θ) τ ) . He showed that the number of steps required to obtain an acceptable approximation of x ((1 − θ) τ ) is bounded above by a number independent of n. Therefore, apoint √ with complementarity less than ε can be obtained in at most O n log εε0 steps (for both methods), where ε0 is the complementary gap of the starting point. For linear complementarity problems with rational input data √of bit length L, this implies that an exact solution can be obtained in at most O ( nL) iterations plus a rounding procedure including O n3 arithmetic operations [346]. The differences between Potra’s work and the earlier works by Renegar [293] and Renegar and Shub [294] have been stated in the introduction of this chapter and further analyzed in [282]. We also refer the reader to the excellent monograph of Nesterov and Nemirovskii [254] for an analysis of the construction of interior point methods for a larger class of problems than that considered in [282]. Below one can find our contribution. Let k · k be a given norm on Ri , i a natural integer, and x0 be a point of D such that the closed ball of radius r centered at x0 , U (x0 , r) = {x ∈ Ri : kx − x0 k ≤ r}

(9.1.1)

is included in D ⊆ Ri , i.e. U (x0 , r) ⊆ D.

(9.1.2)

We assume that the Jacobian F ′ (x0 ) of F : D ⊆ X → X is nonsingular and that Lipschitz condition (4.2.50) is satisfied. The Newton–Kantorovich Theorem 4.2.4 states that if k = ℓη ≤

1 , 2

(9.1.3)

then there exists x∗ ∈ U (x0 , r) with F (x∗ ) = 0. Moreover the sequences produced by Newton’s method (4.1.3) and by the modified Newton method (4.1.4) are well defined and converge to x∗ .

but not vice versa unless if ℓ0 = ℓ. Similarly by simply replacing ℓ with ℓ0 (since the center-Lipschitz condition instead of (4.2.50) is actually needed in the proof) and condition (9.1.3) by the weaker k 1 = αω0 ≤

hold. In case ℓ0 = ℓ (9.1.9) reduces to (12) in [282]. Otherwise our error bounds are finer. Note also that k≤

1 1 ⇒ k1 ≤ 2 2

(9.1.11)

but not vice versa unless if ℓ0 = ℓ. We can now describe the linear complementarity problem as follows: Given two matrices Q, R ∈ Rn×n (n ≥ 2) and a vector b ∈ Rn , the horizontal linear

356

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming

complementarity problem (HLCP) consists of approximating a pair of vectors (w, s) such that ws = 0 Q(w) + R(s) = b

(9.1.12)

w, s ≥ 0. The monotone linear complementarity problem (LCP) is obtained by taking R = −I and Q positive semidefinite. Moreover the linear programming problem (LP) and the quadratic programming problem (QP) can be formulated as HLCPs. That is, HLCP is a suitable way for studying interior point methods. We assume HLCP (9.1.12) is monotone in the sense that: Q(u) + R(v) = 0 implies ut v ≥ 0, for all u, v ∈ Rn .

(9.1.13)

Condition (9.1.13) holds if the HLCP is a reformulation of a QP. If the HLCP is a reformuation of a LP then the following stronger condition holds: Q(u) + R(v) = 0 implies ut v = 0, for all u, v ∈ Rn .

(9.1.14)

Then we say in this case that the HLCP is skew-symmetric. If the HLCP has an interior point, i.e. there is (w, s) ∈ Rn++ × Rn++ satisfying Q(w) + R(s) = b, then for any parameter τ > 0 the nonlinear system ws = τ e Q(w) + R(s) = b

(9.1.15)

w, s ≥ 0 t

has a unique positive solution x(τ ) = [w(τ )t , s(τ )t ] . The set of all such solutions defines the central path C of the HLCP. It can be proved that (w(τ ), s(τ )) converges to a solution of the HLCP as τ → 0. Such an approach for solving the HLCP is called the path following algorithm. At a basic step of a path following algorithm, an approximation (w, s) of (w(τ ), s(τ )) has already been computed for some τ > 0. The algorithm determines the smaller value of the central path parameter τ+ = (1 − θ) τ, where the value θ ∈ (0, 1) is computed in some unspecified way. The approximation (wt , st ) of (w(τ+ ), s(τ+ )) is computed. The procedure is then repeated with (w+ , s+ , τ + ) in place of (w, s.τ ) . In order for us to relate the path following algorithm and the the NewtonKantorovich theorem we introduce the notations w w (τ ) x= , x (τ ) = , s s (τ ) + w w (τ+ ) x+ = , x (τ ) = , etc. + s+ s (τ+ )

9.1. Case 1: Interior Point Methods Then for any θ > 0 we define the nonlinear operator ws − σe Fσ (x) = . Q(w) + R(s) − b

357

(9.1.16)

Then system (9.1.15) defining x(τ ) becomes Fσ (x) = 0,

(9.1.17)

whereas the system defining x(τ+ ) is given by F(1−θ)τ (x) = 0.

(9.1.18)

We assume that the initial guess x belongs in the interior of the feasible set of the HLCP F 0 = x = (wt , st )t ∈ R2n (9.1.19) ++ : Q(w) + R(s) = b . In order to verify the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis for equation (9.1.17) we introduce the quantity

η = η(x, τ ) = F ′ (x)−1 Fτ (x) , (9.1.20)

the measure of proximity

k = k(x, τ ) = ηℓ, ℓ = ℓ(x) ¯ ℓ¯ = ℓ(x) ¯ k 0 = k 0 (x, τ ) = η ℓ,

(9.1.21)

k 1 = k 1 (x, τ ) = ηℓ0 , ℓ0 = ℓ0 (x) and the normalized primal-dual gap µ = µ(x) =

wt s . η

(9.1.22)

If for a given interior point x and a given parameter τ we have k 0 (x, τ ) ≤ .5 for the Newton-Kantorovich method or k 1 (x, τ ) ≤ .5 for the modified Newton-Kantorovich method then corresponding sequences starting from x will converge to the point x (τ ) on the central path. We can now describe our algorithm which is a weaker version of the one given in [282]: Algorithm 9.1.1 (using Newton-Kantorovich method). Given 0 < k10 < k20 < .5, ε > 0, and x0 ∈ F 0 satisfying k 0 (x0 , µ (x0 )) ≤ k10 ; Set k 0 ← 0 and τ0 ← µ (x0 ) ; repeat (outer iteration) Set (x, τ ) ← (xk , τk ) , x ¯ ← xk ; Determine the largest θ ∈ (0, 1) such that k 0 (x, (1 − θ)τ ) ≤ k20 ;

358

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming Set τ ← (1 − θ)τ ; repeat (inner iteration) Set x ← x − F ′ (x)−1 Fτ (x)

(9.1.23)

until k 0 (x, µ) ≤ k10 ; Set (xk+1 , τk+1 ) ← (x, τ ) ; Set k ← k + 1; t until wk sk ≤ ε.

For the modified the Newton-Kantorovich algorithm k10 , k20 , k 0 should be replaced by k11 , k21 , k 1 , and (9.1.23) by Set x ← x − F ′ (¯ x)−1 Fτ (x) respectively. In order to obtain Algorithm 1 in [282] we need to replace k10 , k20 , k 0 by k1 , k2 , k respectively. The above suggest that all results on interior methods obtained in [282] using (9.1.3) can now be rewritten using only the weaker (9.1.5) (or (9.1.8)). We only state those results for which we will provide applications. Let us introduce the notation p 1 + θia + p2θia + ria , if HLCP is monotone, Ψai = (9.1.24) 2 , if HLCP is skew-symmetric 1 + qia + 2qia + qia p p where ria = θia , tai = kia , a = 0, 1, h θia = ti 1 +

(9.1.25)

Then by simply replacing k, k1 , k2 by k 0 , k10 , k20 respectively in the corresponding results in [282] we obtain the following improvements: Theorem 9.1.2 The parameter θ determined at each outer iteration of algorithm 9.1.1 satisfies χa θ ≥ √ = λa n where

(9.1.27)

Clearly, the lower bound on λa on θ is an improvement over the corresponding one in [283, Corollary 4]. In the next result a bound on the number of steps of the inner iteration that depends only on k10 and k20 is provided. Theorem 9.1.3 If Newton-Kantorovich method is used in Algorithm 9.1.1 then each inner iteration terminates in at most N 0 k10 , k20 steps, where    0 log (x ) N 2 h i  (9.1.28) N 0 k10 , k20 = integer part log2  p 0 0 0 log2 1 − 1 − 2k2 − k2 /k2

(9.1.29)

If the modified the Newton-Kantorovich method is used in Algorithm 9.1.1 then each iteration terminates in at most S 0 (k1 , k2 ) steps, where  

Clearly, if k11 = k10 = k1 , k21 = k20 = k2 , k 1 = k 0 = k, Theorem 9.1.2 reduces to the corresponding Theorem 2 in [282]. Otherwise the following improvement holds: N 0 k10 , k20 < N (k1 , k2 ) , N 0 < N, S 1 k11 , k21 < S (k1 , k2 ) , and S 1 < S. Since choices

k1 k2 k1 k2 , , , k10 k20 k11 k21

can be arbitrarily large for a given triplet η, ℓ and ℓ0 , the

k10 = k11 = .12, k20 = k21 = .24 when k1 = .21 and k2 = .42

360

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming

and k10 = k11 = .24, k20 = k21 = .48 when k1 = .245 and k2 = .49 are possible. Then using formulas (9.1.27), (9.1.28) and (9.1.30) for our results and (9)–(11) in [282], we obtain the following tables: (a) If the HLCP is monotone and only Newton directions are performed, then: Potra χ(.21, .42) > .17

Argyros χ (.12, .24) > .1

χ(.245, .49) > .199

Argyros N (.12, .24) = 1

N (.245, .49) = 4

N 0 (.24, .48) = 3

(b) If the HLCP is monotone and Modified Newton directions are performed: Potra χ(.21, .42) > .149

Argyros χ (.12, .24) > .098

χ(.245, .49) > .164

Potra S(.21, .42) = 5

Argyros S 1 (.12, .24) = 1

S(.245, .49) = 18

S 1 (.24, .48) = 12

All the above improvements are obtained under weaker hypotheses and the same computational cost (in the case of Newton’s method) or less computational cost (in the case of the modified Newton method) since in practice the computation of ℓ requires that of ℓ0 and in general the computation of ℓ0 is less expensive than that of ℓ.

9.2

Case 2: LP Methods

We are motivated by paper [294], where a unified complexity analysis for Newton LP methods was given. Here we show that it is possible under weaker hypotheses

to provide a finer semilocal convergence analysis, which in turn can reduce the computational time for interior algorithms appearing in linear programming and convex quadratic programming. Finally an example is provided to show that our results apply where the ones in [294] cannot. Let us assume that F : D ⊆ X → Y is an analytic operator and F ′ (x)−1 exists at x = x0 ∈ D.

then Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3) converges to x∗ , so that n 1 kxn+1 − xn k ≤ 2 kx1 − x0 k (n ≥ 0). 2

(9.2.5)

We need the following semilocal convergence result for Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3) and twice Fr´echet-differentiable operators: Theorem 9.2.1 Let F : D ⊆ X → Y be a twice Fr´echet-differentiable operator. Assume there exist a point x0 ∈ D and parameters η ≥ 0, ℓ0 ≥ 0, ℓ ≥ 0, δ ∈ [0, 1] such that: F ′ (x0 )−1 ∈ L(Y, X),

Then (a) sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) generated by Newton-Kantorovich method (4.1.3) is well defined, remains in U(x0 , t∗ ) for all n ≥ 0, and converges to a unique solution x∗ of equation F (x) = 0 in U (x0 , t∗ ). Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+2 − xn+1 k ≤

We shall show that under the stated conditions, the hypotheses of Theorem 9.2.1 hold with x0 , η, ℓ0 and ℓ replacing x0 , η, ℓ0 and ℓ, respectively. We first obtain a bound on kx0 − x∗ k. For all x ∈ U (x0 , αη) we obtain in turn

(9.2.47)

and ℓ0 is given by (9.2.39) where we have used x0 for x in (9.2.44) and (9.2.45) (to obtain ℓ0 ). Therefore, we get kF ′ (x0 )−1 F ′′ (x)k ≤ ≤

(9.2.48)

Theorem 9.2.1 and Corollary 9.2.2 can now apply with x0 , η, ℓ0 and ℓ since hypotheses (9.2.10), (9.2.18) and (9.2.24) become (9.2.34), (9.2.41) and (9.2.42) respectively.

Remark 9.2.1 In general ℓ0 ≤ ℓ

(9.2.49)

holds and ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. Note that the famous Newton–Kantorovich hypothesis (4.2.51) is a special case of corresponding condition (9.2.10). Simply set ℓ0 = ℓ and δ = 1 in (9.2.10) to obtain (4.2.51). The advantages of using condition (9.2.10) over (4.2.51) (or over (9.2.52) used in Theorem 3 in [294]) have been explained in Section 5.1. In particular here we note that even under the hypotheses of Proposition 2.2 which uses stronger hypotheses than Theorem 2.1, our results

have the following advantages over the corresponding ones in Theorem 3 in [294, p. 12]: our conditions (9.2.10) and (9.2.24) for α = 32 become 2 2 ℓ + ℓ0 η ≤ , (9.2.50) 3 3 and

(9.2.51)

respectively, which are weaker than condition ℓη ≤

(9.2.52)

given in [294, p. 12] (for sufficiently small ℓ0 ). Note that all the above benefits are obtained under the same computational cost since in practice the computation of ℓ requires that of ℓ0 . Consequently the same benefits carry over when we compare our Theorem 9.2.3 (based on Theorem 9.2.1 (or Corollary 9.2.2)) with Theorem 2 in [294, p. 2]. Let us provide an example where conditions of Theorem 9.2.3 hold but corresponding crucial condition: η≤

(9.2.53)

in Theorem 2 in [294, p. 2] fails. Example 9.2.1 Let λ=

(9.2.55)

Then using (9.2.15) and (9.2.26) we get α=

Conditions (9.2.34), (9.2.35), (9.2.41) and (9.2.42) are satisfied, since f (δ, β0 , β1 , β) = .651987692 < δ = f1 (α, β0 , β1 ) = −.10652731 ≤ 0,

and h(α, β0 , β1 , β) = .943087149 < 1. That is the conditions of our Theorem 9.2.3 hold but condition (9.2.53) required for the application of Theorem 2 in [294] does not hold. Hence the conclusions of our Theorem 9.2.3 hold but not the ones in Theorem 2 in [294] in this case. These facts influence (widens) choices. Indeed by simply repeating the proofs given in Sections 2–6 in [294], with the above changes we can show: Application 9.2.4 “Optimal” sequences {t(i) } (i ≥ 0) given by 1 (i+1) t = 1− √ t(i) (LP Barrier Method, QP Barrier Method), 41 m 1 (i+1) t = 1− √ t(i) (Primal-dual LP Algorithm, 40 m Primal-dual QP Algorithm)

Variational inequalities on finite dimensional spaces

In this section we provide a semilocal convergence analysis of Newton’s method for solving nonlinear variational inequalities on finite dimensional spaces using the 2-norm. Earlier results in the literature [200], [298]–[301] with the exception of the work in [345] share the same drawback: before showing the convergence of the method, the existence and some properties of the solution to the original problem have to be assumed, which cannot be verified computationally (except in some special cases). Our convergence analysis overcomes this drawback and uses more precise majorizing sequences than in the works above (especially the work in [345]).

9.3. Variational inequalities on finite dimensional spaces

369

This way we provide under the same computational cost: weaker sufficient convergence conditions, finer error bounds on the distances involved and an at least as precise information on the location of the solution. Let Ω be a nonempty subset of Rm and let F be an operator from Rm into itself. The variational inequality problem, denoted by V I(Ω, F ), is to find a vector x∗ ∈ Ω such that (y − x∗ )T F (x∗ ) ≥ 0 for all y ∈ Ω. The most popular mehtod for generating a sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) approximating x∗ is undoubtedly Newton’s method. This method computes a sequence of iterates {xn }, such that xn+1 solves the nth linearized problem V I(Ω, F n ), where F n (x) = F (xn ) + F ′ (xn )(x − xn ),

(9.3.1)

where F ′ (x) denotes the Jacobian matrix of F , i.e. F ′ (x) = ∂F∂xi (x) . j There is an extensive literature on results concerning the convergence of method (9.3.1): Robinson proposed Newton’s method for variational inequalities and nonlinear complementarity problems [298] but did not give a convergence analysis. Later Josephy [200] analyzed the method for the variational inequalities with applications to PIES model and independently obtained convergence results in their technical reports respectively. A survey of the works mentioned above and the concepts introduced below as well as results by others and us can be found in [93], [263], [298]–[303], [345] and the references there. In particular we are motivated by the results: Theorem 9.3.1 [263] Let Ω be a nonempty closed and convex subset of Rm . Let F : Rm → Rm be continuously differentiable, and x∗ be a regular solution to V I(Ω, F ). Then there exists a neighborhood of x∗ such that if the starting point x0 is chosen there, the Newton sequence {xn } is well defined and converges to x∗ . Moreover if F ′ (x) is Lipschitz continuous near x∗ , then the convergence is quadratic. Corollary 9.3.2 [263] Let Ω, F , F , x∗ be as in Theorem 9.3.1 with F ′ (x∗ ) being positive definite. Then there exists a neighborhood of x∗ such that if the starting point is chosen there, the Newton sequence {xn } is well defined and converges to the solution x∗ . Moreover, if F ′ (x) is Lipschitz continuous near x∗ , the convergence is quadratic. The above results share the same drawback: Before showing the convergence of the method, the existence and some properties of the solution to the original problem has to be assumed, which cannot be verified computationally. Recently, Wang in [345] using the Newton–Kantorovich theorem addressed this drawback by providing a semilocal convergence analysis for Newton method (9.3.1).

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming

In our study we show that under weaker hypotheses and the same computational cost than in [345]: finer error bounds on the distances kxn −x∗ k, kxn+1 −xn k (n ≥ 0) and an at least as precise information on the location of the solution x∗ . We will need the following lemma. The matrix norm is subordinate to some vector norm. Lemma 9.3.3 [345]. Let B be an n × n real symmetric matrix. The following hold true: (a) B is positive definite if and only if there is a symmetric positive definite matrix A such that kA − Bk <

1 ; kA−1 k

(9.3.2)

(b) if there is a symmetric positive definite matrix A such that kA − Bk =

1 , kA−1 k

(9.3.3)

then B is either semi-definite or positive definite. We also need the three well known facts that follow which are stated here in order to make the paper as self-contained as possible: Definition 9.3.4 [298]. The operator F : Rm → Rm is said to be strongly monotone over D ⊆ Rm if there exists an ℓ > 0 such that (F (x) − F (y))T (x − y) ≥ ℓkx − yk2

for all x, y ∈ D,

(9.3.4)

where k · k denotes any vector norm in Rm . Theorem 9.3.5 Let Ω be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of Rm and let F be a continuous operator from Ω to Rm . If F is strongly monotone with respect to Ω, then there exists a unique solution to the problem V I(Ω, F ). Remark 9.3.1 For affine operator F (x) = M (x) + q, where M ∈ Rm×m and q ∈ Rm , the strong monotonicity is equivalent to the positive definiteness of the matrix M . Therefore, if M is positive definite and Ω ⊆ Rm is nonempty, closed and convex, the V I(Ω, F ) has a unique solution. The proof of the following lemma can essentially be found in Application 5.1.4. Lemma 9.3.6 Assume: there exist parameters β ≥ 0, ℓ ≥ 0, ℓ0 ≥ 0, with ℓ0 ≤ ℓ, η ≥ 0 and δ ∈ [0, 2) such that any of the following set of conditions holds true: hδ = β(ℓ + δℓ0 ) ≤ δ,

Let us recall A˜ = A+A , where A is a real square matrix. 2 From now on we assume k · k = k · k2 . We can show the following semilocal convergence theorem of Newton’s method (9.3.1) for variational inequalities. Theorem 9.3.7 Let D ⊆ Rm be open, let Ω ⊆ D be nonempty, convex and closed. Assume: F : D → Rm is continuously differentiable and kF ′ (x) − F ′ (y)k ≤ ℓkx − yk

for all x, y ∈ D0 ,

Denote by x1 the unique solution to V I(Ω, F 0 ) and kx1 − x0 k ≤ η,

(9.3.19)

If hypotheses of Lemma 9.3.6 hold true and U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊆ D0

(9.3.20)

then sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) generated by Newton’s method (9.3.1) is well defined, remains in U(x0 , t∗ ) for all n ≥ 0 and converges to a unique solution x∗ in U (x0 , t∗ ) of the variational inequality V I(Ω, F ). Moreover the following estimates hold true for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − xn k ≤ tn+1 − tn

(9.3.21)

kxn − x∗ k ≤ t∗ − tn .

(9.3.22)

and

Proof. It is clear that β 6= 0. If ℓ = 0, then F ′ (x) = F ′ (x0 ) for all x ∈ D0 , which implies F (x) = F 0 (x) by the mean value theorem (see Section 7.6). That is Newton’s method (9.3.1) terminates at x1 since x1 = x∗ . If η = 0, then x1 = x0 , since x1 solves V I(Ω, F 0 ) we obtain (y − x0 )T F (x0 ) = (y − x1 )T [F (x0 ) + F ′ (x0 )](x1 − x0 ) ≥ 0 for all y ∈ Ω, which shows that x0 is a solution of V I(Ω, F ), and consequently the Newton method (1.1) terminates. Therefore we can assume without loss of generality ℓ 6= 0 and η 6= 0. By (9.3.13) we have η ≤ t∗ and since kx1 − x0 k ≤ η we conclude x1 ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊆ D0 . We shall show for all k ≥ 0: kxk+1 − xk k ≤ tk+1 − tk

and U (xk+1 , t∗ − tk+1 ) ⊆ U (xk , t∗ − tk ).

(9.3.24)

For every z ∈ U (x1 , t∗ − t1 ), estimate kz − x0 k ≤ kz − x1 k + kx1 − x0 k ≤ t∗ − t1 + t1 = t∗ − t0 , implies z ∈ U (x0 , t∗ − t0 ). We also have: kx1 − x0 k ≤ η = t1 − t0 . That is (9.3.23) and (9.3.24) hold for k = 0. Given they hold for n = 0, 1, . . . , k, then kxk+1 − x0 k ≤

We have 1 kF˜ ′ (xk ) − F˜ ′ (x0 )k ≤ kF ′ (xk ) − F ′ (x0 )k + k(F ′ (xk ) − F ′ (x0 ))T k 2 = kF ′ (xk ) − F ′ (x0 )k ≤ ℓ0 kxk − x0 k 1 ≤ ℓ0 (tk − t0 ) = ℓ0 tk < . (9.3.25) β It follows by Lemma 9.3.3 that F˜ ′ (xk ) is positive definite, and consequently so is F ′ (xk ). We know V I(Ω, F k ) is uniquely solvable. That is xk+1 is well defined. Using (9.3.2) and (9.3.25) we get kF˜ ′ (xk )−1 k ≤

(9.3.26)

Considering that xk , xk+1 ∈ Ω, and that xk solves V I(Ω, F k−1 ) and xk+1 solves V I(Ω, F k ) we can write (xk+1 − xk )T F k−1 (xk ) = (xk+1 − xk )T F (xk−1 ) + F ′ (xk−1 )(xk − xk−1 ) ≥ 0, T

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming

Adding (9.3.27) to (9.3.28) we can obtain (xk − xk+1 )T F ′ (xk )(xk − xk+1 ) ≤ (xk − xk+1 )T F (xk ) − F (xk−1 ) − F ′ (xk−1 )(xk − xk−1 ) ≤ kxk − xk+1 k kF (xk ) − F (xk−1 ) − F ′ (xk−1 )(xk − xk−1 )k.

(9.3.29)

(9.3.30)

Denote the eigenvalues of A˜ by λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ · · · ≤ λn . We can get 2 2 ˜ ≥ λ1 xT x = kxk ≥ kxk . xT Ax ρ(A˜−1 ) kA˜−1 k

= (xk − xk+1 )T F ′ (xk )(xk − xk+1 ).

(9.3.32)

Using (9.3.24), (9.3.30) and (9.3.32) we get kxk − xk+1 k2 ℓ ≤ kxk − xk+1 k kxk − xk−1 k2 . ′ −1 2 kF˜ (xk ) k

(9.3.33)

We assume xk 6= xk+1 , otherwise we obtain the exact solution by setting xk = x∗ , and Newton’s method is terminated. It follows from (9.3.33) and the induction hypothesis that kxk+1 − xk k ≤

ℓ ˜′ kF (xk )−1 k kxk − xk−1 k2 ≤ tk+1 − tk , 2

(9.3.34)

which shows (9.3.23) for all k ≥ 0. Moreover for every w ∈ U (xk+2 , t∗ − tk+2 ) we have kw − xk k ≤ kw − xk+1 k + kxk+1 − xk k ≤ t∗ − tk+1 + tk+1 − tk = t∗ − tk+1 , which shows (9.3.24) for all k ≥ 0. By Lemma 9.3.6 {tn } (n ≥ 0) is a Cauchy sequence. It follows from (2.23) and (2.24) that {xn } (n ≥ 0) is a Cauchy sequence too in a Banach space X and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). Considering (y − xk+1 )T F (xk ) + F ′ (xk )(xk+1 − xk ) ≥ 0 for all y ∈ Ω (9.3.35)

9.3. Variational inequalities on finite dimensional spaces

375

and using the continuity of F and F ′ we deduce (y − x∗ )T F (x∗ ) ≥ 0 for all y ∈ Ω,

(9.3.36)

when k → ∞. Hence, we conclude x∗ solves V I(Ω, F ). Finally to show uniqueness let y ∗ ∈ U(x0 , t∗ ) be a solution of V I(Ω, F ). In view of xk ∈ Ω being a solution to V I(Ω, F k ) we have (xk − y ∗ )T F (y ∗ ) ≥ 0, (y ∗ − xk )T F (xk−1 ) + F ′ (xk−1 )(xk − xk−1 ) ≥ 0,

(9.3.37) (9.3.38)

from which it follows kxk − y ∗ k ≤

ℓβky ∗ − xk−1 k2 k→∞ ≤ t∗ − tk −→ 0. 2(1 − ℓ0 βkxk−1 − x0 k)

(9.3.39)

That is lim xk = y ∗ . But we showed lim xk = x∗ . k→∞

Hence, we conclude that

k→∞

x∗ = y ∗ .

Remark 9.3.2 (a) In general ℓ0 ≤ ℓ

(9.3.40)

holds true and ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. If ℓ0 = ℓ then our results reduce to the corresponding ones in [345]. Otherwise (i.e. if ℓ0 < ℓ) they constitute an improvement. Indeed let scalar sequence {sn } be given by s0 = 0, s1 = η, sn+2 = sn+1 +

ℓβ(sn+1 − sn )2 (n ≥ 0). 2(1 − ℓβsn+1 )

(9.3.41)

Sequence {sn } is the majorizing sequence essentially used in [345] instead of {tn }. We showed in Section 5.1 in a more general setting: tn < s n ,

(9.3.42)

tn+1 − tn < sn+1 − sn ,

(9.3.43)

√ 1− 1−h ∗ ∗ t ≤ s = lim sn = n→∞ ℓ

(9.3.44)

where, h = 2βℓη.

(9.3.45)

376

9. The Newton-Kantorovich Theorem and Mathematical Programming

Note that the crucial sufficient convergence condition for sequence {sn } is given by the famous Newton–Kantorovich-type hypothesis h ≤ 1.

(9.3.46)

Note that (9.3.46) implies corresponding hypotheses (see Lemma 9.3.6) but not vice versa unless ℓ0 = ℓ. Therefore under the same computational cost (since in practice the computation of ℓ requires the computation of ℓ0 ) and weaker hypotheses than in [345] we provide finer error bounds on the distances kxn+1 −xn k, kxn −x∗ k and an at least as precise information on the location of the solution x∗ . (b) The uniqueness of solution x∗ can be extended to U (x0 , t∗1 ) t∗ ≤ t∗1 provided that β(t∗ + t∗1 ) ≤ 2 and U (x0 , t∗1 ) ⊆ D0 (see.Section 5.1)

(9.3.47)

(c) The results obtained here can be rewritten in affine invariant form if Theorem 9.3.7 is applied to operator F˜ ′ (x0 )−1 F (x) and βℓ0 , βℓ are replaced by L0 and L respectively. The advantages of this approach have been explained in [143]. We finish this study by stating two results without proofs. The proofs are identical to Theorem 2.14 and 2.15 in [345] with the exception that we are using (for simplicity (9.3.5) for δ = 1): h1 = (ℓ0 + ℓ)η ≤ 1,

(9.3.48)

instead of (9.3.46) used there and the more precise estimate (9.3.26) instead of the one used in [345] (simply set ℓ0 = ℓ in (9.3.26) to obtain the one used in [345]). Theorem 9.3.8 Let D ⊆ Rm be open, let Ω ⊆ D be nonempty, closed and convex. Assume F : D → Rm is continuously differentiable on a convex set D0 ⊆ Ω, (9.3.48) and (9.3.15) hold on D0 . Let x∗ ∈ D0 be a solution of V I(Ω, F ), where F ′ (x∗ ) is positive definite and kF˜ ′ (x∗ )−1 k ≤ β ∗ . (9.3.49) If U x∗ , β ∗1ℓ0 ⊆ D0 , then the conclusions of Theorem 9.3.7 hold for any starting √ point x0 ∈ U x∗ , β ∗θℓ0 , 0 < θ < 2−2 2 .

Remark 9.3.3 If ℓ0 = ℓ our result reduces to Theorem 2.14 in [345]. Otherwise it is an improvement since θ θ U x∗ , ∗ ⊆ U x∗ , ∗ . (9.3.50) β ℓ β ℓ0

10.1

Strongly regular solutions

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a strongly regular solution x∗ of generalized equation 0 ∈ F (x) + NC (x)

(10.1.1)

where F is a continuously Fr´echet-differentiable operator defined on an open, nonempty convex subset D of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y , and NC (x) is a normal cone to C at x (C ⊆ X closed and convex). Many problems in Mathematical Programming/Economics can be formulated as generalized equations [68], [99], [298], [302] (see also Chapter 7). Here motivated by [298] we show that it is possible under the same hypotheses computational cost to provide a wider choice of initial guesses in the local case and under weaker conditions finer error bounds on the distances involved as well as a more precise information on the location of the solution in the semilocal case. We achieve all that by using more precise majorizing sequences, along the lines of our work in Chapter 5. We first provide in a condensed form the preliminaries for generalized equations and strongly regular solutions, and further we provide a local convergence (see Theorem 10.1.6) and a semilocal convergence analysis (see Theorem 10.1.10) for method (4.1.3). Finally we show that our results compare favorably with the earlier ones. To make the section as self-contained as possible we need the definitions [298]. For a more detailed information on strongly regular equations see [298], [302] and the references there. 379

10. Generalized equations

Definition 10.1.1 Let F : D ⊆ X → Y be an operator with a continuous Fr´echetderivative F ′ . Let y be a fixed point in D. Then the linearization of F at y denoted by LFy is defined by LFy (x) = F (y) + F ′ (y)(x − y).

(10.1.2)

It follows from (10.1.2) that LF y is an affine operator passing through y having “slope” equal to that of F at y. Consequently the linearization of a generalized equation at y can be obtained by replacing F by LFy , formally: Definition 10.1.2 Let F , D, X, Y be as in the previous Definition. Then the linearization of the generalized equation 0 ∈ F (x) + NK (x)

(10.1.3)

at y is the generalized equation 0 ∈ LFy (x) + NK (x), where K is a non-empty, closed convex cone in D, and NK (x) be the normal cone to K at x. Definition 10.1.3 Let T be a set-valued operator. We define T −1 (y) = {x | y ∈ T (x)}.

(10.1.4)

−1

It then follows T (0) = {x | 0 ∈ T (x)} is the solution set of the generalized equation 0 ∈ T (x). We pay special attention to the case T −1 when T = LFy + NK . The following definition is due to Robinson [298] and describes the behavior of (LFy + NK )−1 suitable for the convergence of Newton’s method: Definition 10.1.4 Let 0 ∈ F (x) + NK (x) have a solution x∗ . Set T = LFx∗ + NK . Then x∗ is a strongly regular solution of 0 ∈ F (x) + NK (x) if and only if there exists a neighborhood B1 of the origin, and a neighborhood B2 of x∗ , such that the restriction B2 ∩ T −1 to B1 is a single-valued and Lipschitz continuous operator. Note that the operator B2 ∩ T −1 is defined by (B2 ∩ T −1 )(y) = B2 ∩ T −1 (y).

Finally we need a Corollary of Theorem 2.4 in [298]. Corollary 10.1.5 Let F : D ⊆ X → Y have a Fr´echet derivative F ′ on D. Suppose x0 ∈ D and the generalized equation 0 ∈ LFx0 (x) + NC (x) has a strongly regular solution with association Lipschitz constant d. Then there exist positive constants ρ, r and R such that for all x ∈ U(x0 , ρ) the following hold: (LFx + NC )−1 ∩ U (x1 , r) restricted to U(0, R) is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous with modulus d . 1 − dkF ′ (x) − F ′ (x0 )k

We can provide the following local convergence result for Newton’s method involving generalized equations: Theorem 10.1.6 Let C be a nonempty, closed, convex subset of X, and let D be a nonempty, open, convex subset of X. Moreover let F : D → Y have a Lipschitz continuous Fr´echet derivative F ′ with Lipschitz constant b. Suppose: generalized equation 0 ∈ F (x) + NC (x)

(10.1.5)

has a strongly regular solution x∗ with associated Lipschitz constant d; operator F ′ has a center-Lipschitz constant (at x = x∗ ) b0 . Let ρ, r, and R be the positive constants introduced in Corollary 1. Let x0 ∈ D and define the notation: r0 = kx∗ − x0 k Sx = LFx + NC a0 = d(1 − db0 r0 )−1 1 h0 = a0 br0 . 2 Moreover suppose: d(b + 2b0 )r0 < 2, 1 2 br < R, 2 0 r0 < ρ

(10.1.6)

U (x∗ , r0 ) ⊂ D ∩ U(x∗ , ρ).

(10.1.9)

(10.1.7) (10.1.8)

Then Newton sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) given by xn+1 = (Sxn )−1 (0) ∩ U (x∗ , r)

(10.1.10)

is well defined, remains in U (x∗ , r0 ) for all n ≥ 0 and converges to x∗ . Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+1 − x∗ k ≤

and n+1

kxn+1 − x∗ k ≤ 2(a0 b)−1 h20

Note that b0 ≤ b holds in general and that

10. Generalized equations

Proof. We introduce Tx = U (x∗ , r) ∩ Sx−1 , Tk = Txk ,

f (x) = d[1 − dkF ′ (x) − F ′ (x∗ )]−1

J(x) = LFx (x∗ ) − LFx∗ (x∗ ). We will show:

kTx (u) − Tx (v)k ≤ a0 ku − vk for all x ∈ U (x∗ , r0 )

(10.1.13)

and u, v ∈ U (0, R),

and

x∗ ∈ Sx−1 (J(x)) for all x ∈ D,

(10.1.14)

x∗ = Tx (J(x)) for x ∈ U(x∗ , r0 ) and J(x) ∈ U (0, R)

(10.1.15)

kJ(x)k ≤

b kx − x∗ k2 , 2

h < 1.

(10.1.16) (10.1.17)

By Corollary 10.1.5 Tx is a single-valued and Lipschitz continuous with modulus f (x) for x ∈ U(x∗ , ρ). Since, for x ∈ U (x∗ , r0 ) ⊂ U(x∗ , ρ) ∩ D kF ′ (x) − F ′ (x∗ )k ≤ b0 kx − x0 k ≤ b0 r0 we get f (x) ≤ a0 , which shows (10.1.13) because g(x) is the Lipschitz constant for operator Tx . Let x ∈ D, then we get 0 ∈ F (x∗ ) + NC (x∗ ) = LFx∗ (x∗ ) + NC (x∗ )

= LFx (x∗ ) − J(x) + NC (x∗ )

= −J(x) + Sx (x∗ ) + NC (x∗ ) so J(x) ∈ Sx (x∗ ), which shows (10.1.14). Equation (10.1.15) follows from (10.1.14) and the fact that operator Tx is single-valued on U (x∗ , r0 ). Estimate (10.1.16) is standard under the stated hypotheses, whereas (10.1.17) follows immediately from hypothesis (10.1.6). By (10.1.8), (10.1.17), and (10.1.19) we conclude (10.1.13) holds for x = xn . Using (10.1.15) and (10.1.20), we get X ∗ = Tn (J(xn )). That is xn+1 = Tn (0) is well defined, and by (10.1.13) kxn+1 − x∗ k = kT0 (0) − Tn (J(xn ))k ≤ a0 kJ(xn )k 1 ≤ ba0 kxn − x∗ k2 by (10.1.16), (10.1.19) and U(x∗ , r0 ) ⊆ D 2 1 ≤ ba0 (h0 r0 )2 by (10.1.19) 2 = h30 r0 < h0 r0 < r0 .

10.1. Strongly regular solutions

383

Furthermore by xn+1 ∈ U (x∗ , r0 ) ⊆ D and (10.1.16) we get 1 bkxn+1 − x∗ k2 2 1 1 ≤ b(h0 r0 )2 ≤ br02 < R, 2 2

kJ(xn+1 )k ≤

which completes the induction. Finally (10.1.11) follows from (10.1.19), and (10.1.12) from (10.1.11) using induction. Moreover using induction on k ≥ 1 we show: xk = Tk−1 (0) is well defined 1 kxk − x∗ k ≤ a0 bkxk−1 − x∗ k ≤ hr0 2 J(xk ) ∈ U (0, R).

(10.1.18) (10.1.19) (10.1.20)

For k = 1: T0 (0) is single-valued by Corollary 10.1.5, which shows (10.1.18). By (10.1.7) and (10.1.16) kJ(x0 )k ≤

b b kx0 − x∗ k2 = r02 < R 2 2

and hence by (10.1.15), x∗ = T0 (J(x0 )). Therefore we get kx1 − x∗ k = kT0 (0) − T0 (J(x0 ))k ≤ a0 kJ(x0 )k by (10.1.13) 1 1 ≤ ba0 kx0 − x∗ k2 = a0 br02 by (9) and (10.1.16) 2 2 = h0 r0 < r0 by (10.1.17). It follows by (10.1.8) and (10.1.9) that x1 ∈ U (x∗ , r0 ) ⊆ D. By (10.1.16) we can obtain b 1 1 kx1 − x∗ k2 ≤ b(h0 r0 )2 = br02 h20 2 2 2 1 < br02 by (10.1.17) 2 < R by (10.1.7).

kJ(x1 )k ≤

Therefore (10.1.18)–(10.1.20) hold for k = 1. Let us assume (10.1.18)–(10.1.20) hold for all k ≤ n. We must show (10.1.18)–(10.1.20) hold for k = n + 1. The following two results can be found in Section 5.1. Lemma 10.1.7 Let b0 > 0, b > 0, d > 0 and η > 0 with b0 ≤ b. Set h = d b02+b η and suppose h ≤ 12 . Define t0 = 0, tk+1 = G0 (tk ), (k ≥ 0), where G0 (t) =

10. Generalized equations

Let t∗ = lim tn and t∗∗ = 2η. Define also Q0 (s, t) = n→∞

dbs2 2(1−db0 t) .

Then the following

hold: (a) tk+1 = tk + Q0 (tk − tk−1 , tk ) (k ≥ 1); (b) G0 is monotone non-decreasing on [0, t∗ ]; (c) t∗ is the smallest fixed point of G0 on [0, t∗∗ ]. (d) sequence {tk } is monotonically increasing, and lim tn exists; (e) tk+1 − tk ≤ 2−k η (k ≥ 0); (f ) n→∞ k 1 k+1 η (k ≥ 0); (g) |t∗ − tk | ≤ 2a2 · (bd2k )−1 (k ≥ 0). tk+1 ≤ 2 1 − 2

Lemma 10.1.8 Let D ⊆ X, and let {xn } (n ≥ 0) be a sequence in X. With the notation using in Lemma 1 assume: (a) kxk+2 − xk+1 k ≤ Q0 (kxk+1 − xk k, kxk+1 − x0 k) whenever xk , xk+1 ∈ D; (b) x0 ∈ D; (c) t1 ≥ η = kx1 − x0 k; (d) x ∈ D whenever kx − x0 k ≤ t∗ ; (e) hypotheses of Lemma 1 hold. Then the following conclusions hold: (f ) kxk − x0 k ≤ t∗ (k ≥ 0); (g) sequence {xn } converges to some x∗ with kx∗ − x0 k ≤ t∗ ; (h) kx∗ − xk+1 k ≤ t∗ − tk+1 (k ≥ 0) (i) kxk+1 − xk k ≤ tk+1 − tk (k ≥ 0). Lemma 10.1.9 Let D be an open, convex subset of D. Let F : D → Y be continuously differentiable. Suppose that for some ℓ > 0 kF ′ (u) − F ′ (v)k ≤ ℓku − vk whenever u, v ∈ D. Then kF (u) − LFv (u)k ≤

1 ℓku − vk2 for all u, v ∈ D. 2

We can show the following semilocal convergence theorem for Newton’s method: Theorem 10.1.10 Let C, D, F , b, b0 and Sx be as in Theorem 10.1.6. Let x0 ∈ D and assume that the generalized equation 0 ∈ Sx0 (x) is strongly regular at x1 . Let ρ, r, and R be the positive constants associated with strong regularity, and d the associated Lipschitz constant, as given in Corollary 10.1.5. Let η := kx1 − x0 k and t∗ := lim tn , where a := d b02+b η. Suppose that the following relations hold: h ≤ 12 , by

n→∞ 1 2 2 bm ≤

R, and U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊂ D ∩ U (x0 , ρ). Then the sequence {xn } defined

xn+1 := Sx−1 (0) ∩ U(x0 , r) n

(10.1.21)

is well defined, converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) which satisfies 0 ∈ F (x∗ )+NC (x∗ ), and kx∗ − xn k ≤ t∗ − tn for n = 1, 2, . . .. Note that by b0 here we mean the center Lipschitz constant of F ′ at x = x0 . Proof. We first define the following notation: g(x) :=d(1 − db0 kx − x0 k)−1 ,

, Tn :=B(x1 , r) ∩ Sx−1 n LFn :=LFxn ,

Jn :=F (xn ) − LFn−1 (xn ).

10.1. Strongly regular solutions

385

Before beginning the induction part of the proof, we prove the following relation holds: xn+1 = Tn+1 (Jn+1 ) where xn , xn+1 ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ),

(10.1.22)

xn := Tn (0), Jn+1 ∈ U (0, R) and Tn+1 restricted to U (0, R) is single-valued. By definition of Tn , xn+1 ∈ U(x1 , r) and 0 ∈ LFn (xn+1 ) + NC (xn+1 ). Thus 0 ∈ LFn+1 (xn+1 ) − (LFn+1 (xn+1 )) − LFn (xn+1 ) + NC (xn+1 ) = LFn+1 (xn+1 ) − Jn+1 + NC (xn+1 ). Rearranging results in Jn+1 ∈ (LFn+1 + NC )(xn+1 ). That is, xn+1 ∈ (LFn+1 + NC )−1 (Jn+1 ). Since Jn+1 ∈ U (0, R) and xn+1 ∈ U (x1 , r), we have xn+1 = Tn+1 (Jn+1 ), which shows (10.1.22). We now proceed by induction to prove the following for all n ≥ 1. Tn restricted to U (0, R) is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous with Lipschitz constant g(xn ).

(10.1.23)

kxn+1 − xn k ≤ Q(kxn − xn−1 k, kxn − x0 k), where xn+1 := Tn (0). (10.1.24) xn+1 ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ). kJn+1 k ≤ R.

(10.1.25) (10.1.26)

We first show that (10.1.23)–(10.1.26) hold for n = 1. By Lemma 10.1.7(d), t1 ≤ t∗ . By definition, t1 = G0 (t0 ) = m = kx1 − x0 k. Hence, x1 ∈ U (x0 , t1 ) ⊂ U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊂ D ∩ U (x0 , ρ). By Corollary 10.1.5, T1 restricted to U (0, R) is a single-valued and Lipschitz continuous operator with modulus d(1−dkF ′ (x1 )−F ′ (x0 )k)−1 . By hypothesis, kF ′ (x1 )− F ′ (x0 )k ≤ b0 kx1 − x0 k, so that d(1 − dkF ′ (x1 ) − F ′ (x0 )k)−1 ≤ g(x1 ). Hence, (10.1.23) holds for n = 1. Now define x2 = T1 (0). By Lemma 10.1.9, kJ1 k := kF (x1 ) − LF0 (x1 )k ≤ 12 bkx1 − x0 k2 = 12 bη 2 ≤ R. Thus, J1 ∈ U (0, R) and by (10.1.23), 1 dbkx1 − x0 k2 (1 − db0 kx1 − x0 k)−1 2 = Q0 (kx1 − x0 k, kx1 − x0 k).

kT1 (J1 ) − T1 (0)k ≤ g(x1 ) · kJ1 k ≤

But x2 = T1 (0) and by (10.1.22), x1 = T1 (J1 ), hence we have kx2 − x1 k = kT1 (0) − T1 (J1 )k. This establishes (10.1.24) when n = 1. By Lemma 10.1.8(f), x2 ∈ U(x0 , t∗ ). Thus, (10.1.25) holds for n = 1. Also, x2 ∈ U(x0 , t∗ ) ⊂ D, and thus

386

10. Generalized equations

by Lemmas 10.1.7(e), 10.1.8(i) and 1 we get: kJ2 k := kF (x2 ) − LF1 (x2 )k ≤

1 b(t2 − t1 )2 2 1 ≤ bη 2 2−1 2 ≤ R.

Thus, (10.1.26) holds for n = 1, and we have completed the induction when n = 1. Suppose that (10.1.23)–(10.1.26) hold for all n ≥ k. We proceed to show that they also hold for n = k + 1. By (10.1.25), xk+1 ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊂ U (x0 , ρ) ∩ D. By Corollary 10.1.5, Tk+1 restricted to U (0, R) is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous with modulus d(1 − dkF ′ (xk+1 ) − F ′ (x0 )k)−1 . By hypothesis, kF ′ (xk+1 ) − F ′ (x0 )k ≤ b0 kxk+1 − x0 k. Thus, g(xk+1 ) ≥ d(1 − dkF ′ (xk+1 − F ′ (x0 )k)−1 . Hence (10.1.23) holds for n = k + 1. Let xk+2 := Tk+1 (0). By (10.1.22)–(10.1.26), xk+1 = Tk+1 (Jk+1 ). Thus, kxk+2 − xk+1 k = kTk+1 (0) − Tk+1 (Jk+1 )k ≤ g(xk+1 )kJk+1 k 1 ≤ g(xk+1 ) · bkxk+1 − xk k2 2 = Q0 (kxk+1 − xk k, kxk+1 − x0 k). This establishes (10.1.24) for n = k + 1. It follows from Lemma 10.1.8(f) that xk+2 ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) ⊂ D, thus (10.1.25) holds for n = k + 1. Now, by Lemmas 10.1.7, 10.1.8(i) and (10.1.3) we get: kJk+2 k = kF ′ (xk+2 ) − LFk+1 (xk+2 )k 1 ≤ bkxk+2 − xk+1 k2 2 1 ≤ b(tk+2 − tk+1 )2 2 1 ≤ bη 2 2 ≤ R. Thus, (10.1.26) holds for n = k + 1, which completes the induction. By Lemma n 10.1.8, the sequence {xn } converges to x∗ ∈ U (x0 , t∗ ) and kx∗ −xn k ≤ (2n bd)−1 (2a)(2 ) . ∗ It remains to show that x is a solution to the generalized equation 0 ∈ F (x) + NC (x). Let graph NC denote the graph of NC , that is, graph NC = {(u, v) | v ∈ NC (u)}. The assumptions on C imply that graph NC is a closed subset of X × X. By construction, (xn+1 , −LFn (xn+1 )) ∈ graph NC .

10.2. Quasi Methods

387

It follows from the continuity properties of F and F ′ on D that (xn+1 , −LFn (xn+1 )) converges to (x∗ , −F (x∗ )). Since graph NC is closed, (x∗ , −F (x∗ )) belongs to graph NC , which implies 0 ∈ F (x∗ ) + NC (x∗ ). Remark 10.1.1 Denote by {sn } the sequence {tn } when b0 = b. Then our results reduce to the ones in [200]. Otherwise we have (see Chapter 5) tn < s n tn+1 − tn < sn+1 − sn t∗ − tn ≤ s ∗ − s n

t∗ ≤ s ∗ h < hK = 2dbη 2 rJ = < r0 , 3bd

which justify the claims made in the introduction.

10.2

Quasi Methods

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a strongly regular solution x∗ of generalized equation 0 ∈ F (x) + NC (x)

(10.2.1)

where F is a continuously Fr´echet-differentiable operator defined on an open, convex, nonempty subset D of Rk (k ≥ 1 an integer) with values in Rk , and {z | hz, q − xi ≤ 0 for all q ∈ C}, if x ∈ C, NC (x) = ∅, if x 6∈ C. We say point x∗ ∈ D satisfies the generalized equation (1) if and only if x∗ ∈ C and hF (x∗ ), q − x∗ i ≥ 0 for all q ∈ C. Many problems in Mathematical Programming/Economics and engineering can be formulated as generalized equations of form (10.2.1). A survey on generalized equations and their solutions can be found in [68], [99], [298], [301], [302] and the references there. Newton’s method is undoubtedly the most popular method for approximating x∗ .

388

10. Generalized equations

However Newton’s method involves the evaluation of F ′ at each step, which is an expensive task in general. That is why in such cases we replace F ′ (xn ) with an affine operator F (xn ) + B(• − xn ) whose derivative B approximates F ′ (xn ) and is easier to compute. The Secant approximations are such an example, and in general the popular so-called quasi-Newton methods [140], [201], [263], [298]. Newton’s method for approximating x∗ iteratively solves 0 = F (xn ) + F ′ (xn )(x − xn ) to find a solution xn+1 , whereas a quasi-Newton method also iteratively solves 0 = F (xn ) + Bn (x − xn ) where Bn approximates F ′ (xn ) in some sense to be precised later. A survey on the convergence of quasi-Newton method can be found in [140], [201], [263], [298] and the references there. Here motivated by the work in Chapter 5 we show that a larger convergence radius and finer error bounds on the distances involved can be found than before [201], [298], and under the same computational cost. This observation is important in computational mathematics since it allows a wider choice of initial guesses x0 and given in error tolerance ε > 0 finds the approximate solution using less computational steps. We need a corollary to Theorem 2.4 of Robinson [298]: Corollary 10.2.1 Let F , F ′ , D, C, Rk be as in the introduction. Assume equation (10.2.1) has a strongly regular solution x∗ ∈ D [201], [298], with associated Lipschitz constant d. Then there exist positive constants r, R, b and r0 such that the following hold for an k × k matrix M and x ∈ Rk . −1 U (x∗ , r) ∩ F (x) + A · (• − x) + NC

restricted to U (0, R) is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous with modulus d(1 − dkA − F ′ (x∗ )k)−1 provided x ∈ U (x∗ , r0 ) and kA − F ′ (x∗ )k < b.

We can state and prove the following local convergence result for quasi-Newton methods: Theorem 10.2.2 Let D, C, F , F ′ , NC be as in the Introduction. Assume: x∗ ∈ D is a strongly regular solution of the generalized equation (1) with Lipschitz constant d; there exist positive constants ℓ0 and ℓ such that kF ′ (x) − F ′ (y)k ≤ ℓkx − yk

Moreover assume: for (x, B) ∈ D×N , B ∈ S(x, B), where S is an update operator and x the vector closest to x in the set (F (x) + B(• − x) + NC )−1 (0) exists, there exist positive constants a1 and a2 such that: kB − F ′ (x∗ )kM ≤ 1 + a1 max{kx − x∗ k, kx − x∗ k} kB − F ′ (x∗ )kM + a2 max{kx − x∗ k, kx − x∗ k}, hold. Let b, r0 , r and R be as in Corollary 10.2.1. Furthermore assume: for a fixed c ∈ (0, 1) and r0 , b reduced if necessary that the following hold: 1 ℓ + ℓ0 r0 + b r0 < R, 2 d(1 − db)−1

and d0 = d(1 − db)−1 . By hypothesis kB0 − F ′ (x∗ )k ≤ b. It follows from Corollary 10.2.1, T0 restricted to U (0, R) is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous such that the modulus d[1 − dkB0 − F ′ (x∗ )k]−1 < d0 . Similarly, S0 restricted to U (0, R) is single-valued, Lipschitz continuous, with modulus d0 , and S0 (0) = x∗ . Define x1 = T0 (0). Rewrite J0 as J0 = F (x∗ ) − LFx0 (x∗ ) + [F ′ (x∗ ) − B0 ](x∗ − x0 ) + [F ′ (x0 ) − F ′ (x∗ )](x∗ − x0 ) from which we can obtain in turn kJ0 k ≤ kF (x∗ ) − LFx0 (x∗ )k + kF ′ (x∗ ) − B0 k kx∗ − x0 k + kF ′ (x∗ ) − F ′ (x0 )k kx∗ − x0 k ℓ ≤ kx∗ − x0 k2 + bkx∗ − x0 k + ℓ0 kx∗ − x0 k2 2 1 ≤ ℓ + ℓ0 r0 + b kx∗ − x0 k < R. 2 It follows J0 ∈ F (x∗ ) + B0 (x1 − x∗ ) + NC (x1 ), by the definition of T0 , x1 ∈ U(x∗ , r), and the estimate 0 ∈ F (x0 ) + B0 (x1 − x0 ) + NC (x1 ) = F (x∗ ) + B0 (x1 − x∗ ) − J0 + NC (x1 ). Hence, we deduce x1 ∈ S0 (J0 ). It also follows from kJ0 k < R that S0 (J0 ) is a singleton set, and x1 = S0 (J0 ). We can also obtain the estimate kx1 − x∗ k = kS0 (J0 ) − S0 (0)k ≤ d0 kJ0 k 1 ≤ d0 ℓ + ℓ0 r0 + b kx∗ − x0 k < ckx∗ − x0 k. 2 Using induction on i ≥ 0 we shall show: kBi − F ′ (x∗ )kM < a−1 b,

kBj − F ′ (x∗ )kM ≤ kB0 − F ′ (x∗ )kM + (a1 ba−1 + a2 )(1 − p)−1 r0 . That is (10.2.6) holds. To show (10.2.7) we note kxj − x∗ k ≤ cj kx0 − x∗ k ≤ cj r0 < r0 . It now follows from Corollary 1 that when Tj and Sj are single valued and Lipschitz continuous with modulus d(1 − dkBj − F ′ (x∗ )k)−1 provided they are both restricted on U (0, R). As with J0 above we can rewrite Jj as Jj = [F (x∗ ) − LFxj (x∗ )] + [F ′ (x∗ ) − Bj ](x∗ − xj ) + [F ′ (xj ) − F ′ (x∗ )](x∗ − xj ), and therefore we can get in turn ℓ kxj − x∗ k2 + bkxj − x∗ k + ℓ0 kx∗ − xj k2 2 ℓ ≤ + ℓ0 r0 + b kxj − x∗ k < R. 2

Moreover, xj+1 ∈ Sj (Jj ) and kJj k < R, since 0 ∈ F (xj ) + Bj (xj+1 − xj ) + NC (xj+1 ) = F (x∗ ) + Bj (xj+1 − x∗ ) − Jj + NC (xj+1 ). Hence, we deduce xj+1 = Sj (Jj ). Furthermore we can obtain kxj+1 − x∗ k = kSj (Jj ) − Sj (0)k

which completes the induction, and also shows lim xj = x∗ . j→∞

Theorem 10.2.3 Let D, C, F , F ′ , NC , d, x∗ , ℓ0 , ℓ be as in Theorem 10.2.2. Assume: {Bn } is a bounded sequence of k × k matrices (in norm); for x0 ∈ D sequence {xn } converges to x∗ and satisfies 0 ∈ F (xn ) + Bn (xn+1 − xn ) + NC (xn+1 ) for all n ≥ 0. Define En = Bn − F ′ (x∗ ), sn = xn+1 − xn , vn+1 = −F (xn ) − Bn sn ,

n→∞

kEn sn k = 0. ksn k

Then sequence {xn } converges Q-superlinearly to x∗ . Proof. We can write En sn = F (xn+1 ) − F (xn ) − F ′ (x∗ )sn − (vn+1 + F (xn+1 ). Moreover we have k∆F k ≤ ℓ0 max{kxn+1 − x∗ k, kxn − x∗ k} · kxn+1 − xn k. Hence, we get kpn+1 k lim ≤ lim n→∞ ksn k n→∞

kEn sn k = 0. ksn k (10.2.8)

The rest of the proof is identical to Theorem 10.2.3 in [201] and is omitted. Remark 10.2.1 In general ℓ0 ≤ ℓ

(10.2.9)

holds and ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. If ℓ0 = ℓ our results reduce to the corresponding ones in [201]. Otherwise our convergence radius r0 obtained by (10.2.4) and (10.2.5) is larger than the corresponding one r 0 in [201] (r0 can also be obtained from (10.2.4) and (10.2.5) for ℓ0 = ℓ). Moreover by (10.2.7)–(10.2.9) (for ℓ0 < ℓ) our bounds on the distances kxn+1 − x∗ k (n ≥ 0) are finer. All the above justify our approach whose usefullness (for regular equations) has also been explained in Section 5.1. The results extend immediately in a Banach space setting if Rk is replaced by a Banach space X along the lines of the works in Section 5.1.

Variational Inequalities under Weak Lipschitz Conditions

In this section we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x∗ of the variational inequality of the form F (x) + ∂ϕ(x) ∋ 0,

(10.3.1)

where F is a Gateaux differentiable operator defined on closed set D of a Hilbert space H with values in H, ϕ : H → (−∞, ∞] is a lower semicontinuous convex function with S(ϕ) = {ϕ ∈ H: ϕ(y) < ∞} 6= ∅, and ∂ϕ(y) is the subgradient of ϕ at y, given by ∂ϕ(y) = {x ∈ H : ϕ(y) − ϕ(v) ≤ hx, y − vi for all v ∈ S(ϕ)}. Many problems in computational sciences can be formulated as in (10.3.1) [148]. The modified Newton’s method F ′ (x0 )xn+1 + ∂ϕ(xn+1 ) ∋ F ′ (x0 )xn − F (xn )

(10.3.2)

as well as Newton’s method F ′ (xn )xn+1 + ∂ϕ(xn+1 ) ∋ F ′ (xn )xn − F (xn )

(10.3.3)

has already been used to approximate x∗ [68], [148], [221], [235], [326]. If ϕ = 0 (10.3.2), and (10.3.3) reduce to the classical modified Newton and Newton method respectively. The main hypothesis in all earlier results is a Lipschitz continuity condition on the Gateaux derivative F ′ of F , i.e. there exist a constant ℓ > 0 such that for all x, y ∈ D kF ′ (x) − F ′ (y)k ≤ ℓkx − yk.

(10.3.4)

Here we replace (10.3.4) by the weaker center-Lipschitz condition kF ′ (x) − F ′ (x0 )k ≤ ℓ0 kx − x0 k for all x ∈ D.

(10.3.5)

Note that in general ℓ0 ≤ ℓ

(10.3.6)

holds and ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. From the computational point of view it is easier to evaluate ℓ0 than ℓ unless if ℓ0 = ℓ. Therefore sufficient convergence conditions based on ℓ0 rather than ℓ are weaker and can be used in cases not covered before. This is our motivation for providing a semilocal convergence analysis for methods (10.3.2) and (10.3.3) based on (10.3.5) rather than (10.3.4). Throughout this section we assume ϕ is a convex function. We can now state and prove the semilocal convergence result for modified Newton’s method (10.3.2):

(10.3.13)

Then sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) generated by modified Newton method (10.3.2) is well defined, remains in U (x0 , r) for all n ≥ 0 and converges to a unique solution x∗ of inequality (10.3.1) in U (x0 , r). Moreover the following estimates hold for all n ≥ 0: kxn+2 − xn+1 k ≤ ckxn+1 − xn k, where c ∈ [0, 1) is given by √ b2 − 2aℓ0 c=1− . b

(10.3.14)

(10.3.15)

Proof. Our proof is based on the contraction mapping theorem 3.1.4. Let x ∈ U (x0 , r) and define operator g(x) by the variational inequality F ′ (x0 )g(x) + ∂ϕ(g(x)) ∋ F ′ (x0 )x − F (x).

(10.3.16)

It follows by Theorem 3.5 in [221] and (10.3.9) that operator g is well defined on U (x0 , r) (which is a closed set). The convexity of ϕ implies the monotonicity of ∂ϕ in the sense that h1 ∈ ∂ϕ(y1 ), h2 ∈ ∂ϕ(y2 ) ⇒ hh1 − h2 , y1 − y2 i ≥ 0. Using (10.3.7), (10.3.16) and (10.3.17) we get hF (x) − F ′ (x0 )(x − g(x)), g(x) − x0 i ≤ 0,

(10.3.17)

which can be rewritten as hF ′ (x0 )(g(x) − x0 ), g(x) − x0 i ≤ hF ′ (x0 )(x − x0 ) − F (x), g(x) − x0 i. (10.3.18) Moreover by the choice of r, (10.3.5), (10.3.8), (10.3.9) and (10.3.18) we obtain in turn 1 kF (x) − F ′ (x0 )(x − x0 )k b 1 1 kF (x0 ) + F (x) − F (x0 ) − F ′ (x0 )(x − x0 )k + kF (x0 )k b b Z 1 1 kF ′ (x0 + t(x − x0 )) − F ′ (x0 )k kx − x0 kdt + b 0 a ℓ0 a ℓ0 + kx − x0 k2 ≤ + r2 ≤ r b 2b b 2b (10.3.19)

(since x0 + t(x − x0 ) ∈ U (x0 , r) for all t ∈ [0, 1]). It follows from (10.3.19) that operator g maps the closed set U (x0 , r) into itself. Furthermore for any x, y ∈ U (x0 , r), the monotonicity of ∂ϕ and (10.3.2) we get hF ′ (x0 )(g(x) − g(y)) + F (x) − F (y) − F ′ (x0 )(x − y), g(x) − g(y)i ≤ 0, which can be rewritten as hF ′ (x0 )(g(x) − g(y)), g(x) − g(y)i ≤ hF ′ (x0 )(x − y) − F (x) + F (y), g(x) − g(y)i.

(10.3.20)

Using (10.3.5), (10.3.8), (10.3.9), (10.3.11) and (10.3.20) we can get in turn kg(x) − g(y)k ≤ ≤ ≤

(10.3.21)

which implies g is a contraction from the closed set U (x0 , r) into itself. The result now follows from the contraction mapping principle. Note also that by setting xn+1 = g(xn ) and using (10.3.21) we obtain (10.3.14). We can now state and prove the semilocal convergence result for Newton’s method (10.3.3): Theorem 10.3.2 Assume: there exist x0 ∈ H, a > 0, b > 0 such that for all x, y ∈ D (10.3.7), (10.3.8), (10.3.12) holds, and hF ′ (x)y, yi ≥ bkyk2;

Then sequence {xn } (n ≥ 0) generated by Newton method (10.3.3) is well defined, remains in U (x0 , r) for all n ≥ 0, and converges to a unique solution x∗ of inequality (10.3.1) in U (x0 , r).

and kxn − x∗ k ≤

Proof. We first note that by the coercivity condition (10.3.22) and Theorem 3.5 in [221], the solutions xn+1 of (10.3.3) exist for all n ≥ 0. By the monotonicity of ∂ϕ, (10.3.7) and (10.3.3) for n = 1, we get hF (x0 ) − F ′ (x0 )(x0 − x1 ), x1 − x0 i ≤ 0, or by rewriting hF ′ (x0 )(x1 − x0 ), x1 − x0 i ≤ hF (x0 ), x1 − x0 i.

(10.3.26)

It follows from (10.3.8), (10.3.22) and (10.3.26) that we can obtain kx1 − x0 k ≤

(10.3.27)

By the monotonicity of ∂ϕ, (10.3.3), the corresponding equation for n − 1 becomes hF ′ (xn )(xn+1 − xn ), xn+1 − xn i ≤ hF (xn ) − F (xn−1 ) − F ′ (xn−1 )(xn − xn−1 , xn+1 − xn i.

(10.3.32)

It follows by (10.3.32) that sequence {xn } is Cauchy in a complete space H and as such it converges to some x∗ ∈ U (x0 , r). By letting n → ∞ we obtain (10.3.25). We must show x∗ solves (10.3.1). Let y ∈ S(ϕ). Then by (10.3.3) and the lower semicontinuity of ϕ we get in turn ϕ(x∗ ) ≤ lim inf ϕ(xn+1 ) ≤ ϕ(y)+ lim infhF ′ (xn )(xn −xn+1 )−F (xn ), xn+1 −yi n→∞

10. Generalized equations

By the definition of ∂ϕ we get −F (x∗ ) ∈ ∂ϕ(x∗ ), which implies x∗ solves (10.3.1). Finally to show uniqueness let y ∗ ∈ U (x0 , r) be a solution of (10.3.1). It follows by the monotonicity of ∂ϕ that hF (x∗ ) − F (y ∗ ), x∗ − y ∗ i ≤ 0, and by the mean value theorem hF ′ (tx∗ + (1 − t)y ∗ )(x∗ − y ∗ ), x∗ − y ∗ i ≤ 0

(10.3.33)

for all t ∈ [0, 1]. It then follows by (10.3.22) and (10.3.33) that bkx∗ − y ∗ k2 ≤ hF ′ (tx∗ + (1 − t)y ∗ )(x∗ − y ∗ ), x∗ − y ∗ i ≤ 0, which implies x∗ = y ∗ . Remark 10.3.1 (a) If equality holds in (10.3.6) then our Theorem 10.3.1 reduces to the corresponding Theorem 1 in [326, p. 432]. Otherwise our condition (10.3.10) is weaker than corresponding condition (10.3.13) in [326, p. 432], which simply reads 2aℓ < b2 .

(10.3.34)

Note that corresponding error estimates are also smaller since ℓ0 < ℓ. (b) Sufficient conditions for finding zeros of G can be found in [68]. For example one such set of conditions can be given by r ≥ (1 + ℓ0 )

provided that a≤

Sufficient convergence conditions for sequences more general than {tn } have already been given in Section 5.1 and can replace condition (10.3.23) in Theorem 10.3.2 on such condition is: there exist θ ∈ [0, 1) such that for all n ≥ 1 a 1 − θn 1 bθ + θn−1 ≤ (10.3.37) b 1−θ 4 2ℓ0

and t∗ = lim tn n→∞

replacing the less precise estimates (in general) (10.3.24) and (10.3.25) respectively. (d) Direct comparison between Theorem 10.3.2 and the corresponding Theorem 2 in [326, p. 434] cannot be made since we use only (10.3.5) instead of the stronger (10.3.4). Note however that condition in [326] a<

2b2 ℓ

(10.3.41)

corresponds to say (10.3.36), which implies that our condition is weaker provided that ℓ > 8, ℓ0 (1 + ℓ0 )

(10.3.42)

which can happen since as stated in the introduction ℓℓ0 can be arbitrarily large. (e) It turns out that condition (10.3.5) can be weakened even further, and replaced as follows: Assume operator F ′ (x) is simply continuous at x0 ∈ D. It follows that for all ε > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that if x ∈ U (x0 , δ) kF (x) − F ′ (x0 )k < ε.

(10.3.43)

Then, we can have: Case of Theorem 10.3.1. Replace hypotheses (10.3.10) and (10.3.11) by r = min{δ, r1 } where r1 =

(d) Let operator f satisfy (10.4.12) and C be a non-empty closed convex subset of H. If a(x, y) is a coercive, continuous bilinear operator on H, x∗ and xn+1 are solutions of (10.4.10) and (10.4.17) respectively, then xn+1 converges to x∗ strongly in H if (1) or (2) or (3) above hold.

(2) xn+1 = f (xn ) + PC xn − ρF (G(xn ) − z) − f (xn ) , where ρ, x0 are as in (1) or (2) or (3).

If λ = 1 our result (d) reduces to Theorem 3.2 in [337] (provided that (10.4.12) is replaced by kf (x) − f (y)k ≤ c12 kx − yk for all x, y ∈ H). Note also that since c12 ≥ c2 in general our error bounds on the distances kxn − x∗ k (n ≥ 0) are smaller. Moreover, if C(x) is independent of x, then f = 0 and c2 = 0, in which case (c) and (d) reduce to the ones in [336]. 10.3. Let x0 ∈ D and R > 0 be such that D ≡ U (x0 , R).

Monotone convergence of point to set-mapping In this chapter we discuss the monotonicity of the iteration sequence generated by the algorithmic model xk+1 ∈ fk (x0 , x1 , ..., xk )

(k ≥ l − 1).

(11.0.1)

Here, we assume again that for k ≥ l − 1, fk : X k+1 → 2X , where X is a subset of a partially ordered space L, and let ≤ denote the order in L, (see also Chapter 2, [97]–[101])

11.1

General Theorems

Our main results will be based on a certain type of isotony of the algorithmic mappings. Deﬁnition 11.1.1 The sequence of point-to-set mapping gk : X k+1 → 2L is called increasingly isotone from the left on X, if for any sequence {x(k) } such that x(k) ∈ X (k ≥ 0) and x(0) ≤ x(1) ≤ x(2) ≤ ..., y1 ≤ y2 for all y1 ∈ gk (x(0) , x(1) , ..., x(k) ), y2 ∈ gk+1 (x(0) , x(1) , ..., x(k+1) ) and k ≥ l − 1. Consider the special case of single variable mappings gk . The above properties are now reduced to the following. Assume that x(0) , x(1) ∈ X, x(0) ≤ x(1) , y1 ∈ gk (x(0) ), and y2 ∈ gk+1 (x(1) ), then y1 ≤ y2 . Similarly, the sequence of point-to-set mappings gk : X k+1 → 2L is called increasingly isotone from the right on X, if for any sequence {x(k) } such that x(k) ∈ X (k ≥ 0) and x(0) ≤ x(1) ≤ x(2) ≤ ..., y1 ≥ y2 for all y1 ∈ gk (x(0) , x(1) , ..., x(k) ), y2 ∈ gk+1 (x(0) , x(1) , ..., x(k+1) ) and k ≥ l − 1. Our main result is the following: 409

11. Monotone convergence of point to set-mapping

Theorem 11.1.2 Assume that the sequence of mappings fk is increasingly isotone from the left; futhermore, x0 ≤ x1 ≤ ... ≤ xl−1 ≤ xl (xk ∈ X, 0 ≤ k ≤ l − 1). Then for all k ≥ 0, xk+1 ≥ xk . Proof. By induction, assume that for all indices i (i < k), xi+1 ≥ xi . The relations xk ∈ fk−1 (x0 ≤ x1 ≤ ... ≤ xk−1 )

and

xk+1 ∈ fk (x0 ≤ x1 ≤ ... ≤ xk )

and Deﬁnition 11.1.1 imply that xk+1 ≥ xk . Because this inequality holds for k ≤ l − 1, the proof is complete. Consider next the modiﬁed algorithmic model yk+1 ∈ fk (yk , yk−1 , ..., y1 , y0 ),

(11.1.1)

which diﬀers from process (11.0.1) only in the order of the variables in the righthand side. Using ﬁnite induction again similarly to Theorem 11.1.2, one may easily prove the following theorem. Theorem 11.1.3 Assume that the sequence of mappings fk is increasingly isotone from the right; furthermore, y0 ≥ y1 ≥ ... ≥ yl−1 ≥ yl (yk ∈ X, 0 ≤ k ≤ l − 1). The for all k ≥ 0, yk+1 ≤ yk . Corollary 11.1.4 Assume that X ⊆ Rn ; furthermore, xk → s∗ and yk → s∗ as k → ∞. It is also assumed that ” ≤ ” is the usual partial order of vectors; i.e., a = (a(i) ) ≤ b = (b(i) ) if and only if for all i, a(i) ≤ b(i) . Under the conditions of Theorems 11.1.2 and 11.1.3, xk ≤ s∗ ≤ yk . This relation is very useful in constructing an error estimator and a stopping rule for methods (11.0.1) and (11.1.1), since for all coordinates of vectors xk , yk and s∗ , (i)

(i)

(i)

(i)

(i)

0 ≤ s∗(i) − xk ≤ yk − xk and (i)

0 ≤ yk − s∗(i) ≤ yk − xk . Hence, if each element of yk − xk is less than an error tolerance e, then all elements of xk and yk are closer than e to the corresponding elements of the limit vector.

Assume that for k ≥ l − 1 and p = 1, 2, mapping Kk , Hk are point-to-set (p) mapping deﬁned on X k+1 , and for all (x(1) , x(2) , ..., x(k+1) ) ∈ X k+1 , Kk (x(1) , x(2) (p) (p) , ..., x(k+1) ), and Hk (x(1) , x(2) , ..., x(k+1) ) are nonempty subsets of L; i.e., Kk , (p) and Hk : X k+1 → 2L . Consider next the algorithmic model: (1)

(2)

tk+1 ∈ Kk (yk , yk−1 , ..., y0 ), sk+1 ∈ Hk (x0 , x1 , ..., xk ). In the formulation of our next theorem we will need what follows. Deﬁnition 11.2.1 A point-to-set mapping g : X k+1 → 2L is called increasingly isotone on X, if for all x(1) ≤ x(2) ≤ ... ≤ x(k+2) (x(i) ∈ X, i = 1, 2, ..., k + 2), relations y1 ∈ g(x(1) , x(2) , ..., x(k+1) ) and y2 ∈ g(x(2) , x(3) , ..., x(k+2) imply that y1 ≤ y2 . Increasingly isotone functions have the following property. Lemma 11.2.2 Assume that mapping g : X k+1 → 2L is increasingly isotone. Then, for all x(i) and y (i) ∈ X (i = 1, 2, ..., k + 1) such that x(1) ≤ x(2) ≤ ..., x(k+1) ≤ y (1) ≤ y (2) ≤ ... ≤ y (k+1) and for any x ∈ g(x(1) , x(2) , ..., x(k+1) ) and y ∈ g(y (1) , y (2) , ..., y (k+1) ), x ≤ y. Proof. Let yi ∈ g(x(i+1) , ..., x(k+1) , y (1) , ..., y (i) ) be arbitrary for i = 1, 2, ..., k. Then x ≤ y1 ≤ y2 ≤ ... ≤ yk ≤ y, which completes the proof. Remark 11.2.1 In the literature a point-to-set mapping g : X k+1 → 2L is called isotone on X, if for all x(i) and y (i) such that x(i) ≤ y (i) (i = 1, 2, ..., k + 1) and for all x ∈ g(x(1) , ..., x(k+1) ) and y ∈ g(y (1) , ..., y (k+1) ), x ≤ y. It is obvious that an isotone mapping is increasingly isotone, but the reverse is not necessarily true as the following example illustrates.

11. Monotone convergence of point to set-mapping

Example 11.2.1 Deﬁne L = R1 , X = [0, 1], k = 1, ≤ to be the usual order of real numbers, and (2) if x(1) ≥ 2x(2) − 1 x , g(x(1) , x(2) ) = (1) (2) x − x + 1, if x(1) < 2x(2) − 1. We will now verify that g is increasingly isotone, but not isotone on X. Select arbitrary x(1) ≤ x(2) ≤ x(3) from the unit interval. Note ﬁrst that g(x(1) , x(2) ) ≤ x(2) , since if x(1) ≥ 2x(2) − 1, then g(x(1) , x(2) ) = x(2) , and if x(1) < 2x(2) − 1, then g(x(1) , x(2) ) = x(1) − x(2) + 1 < 2x(2) − 1 − x(2) + 1 = x(2) . Note next that g(x(2) , x(3) ) ≥ x(2) , since if x(2) ≥ 2x(3) − 1, then g(x(2) , x(3) ) = x(3) ≥ x(2) , and if x(2) < 2x(3) − 1, then g(x(2) , x(3) ) = x(2) − x(3) + 1 ≥ x(2) . Consequently, g(x(1) , x(2) ) ≤ x(2) ≤ g(x(2) , x(3) ). Hence, g is increasingly isotone; however, it is not isotone on X, since for any points (t, 1) and (t, 1 − e) (where t, e > 0 and t + 2e < 1), g(t, 1) = t − 1 + 1 = t < g(t, 1 − e) = t − (1 − e) + 1 = t + e, but 1˙ > 1 − e. Consider now the following assumptions: (1)

11. Monotone convergence of point to set-mapping

Remark 11.2.2 Two important special cases of algorithm (11.2.1) can be given: (1)

(2)

(1)

(2)

(1)

1 If Kk = Kk = Kk and Hk = Hk = Hk , then fk is a common ﬁxed point of the mapping fk .

(2)

= fk

= fk , and so z

2 Assume next that Kk and Hk are l−variable functions. Then one may select (1)

Kk (t(0) , ..., t(k) ) = Kk (t(k−l+1) , ..., t(k) ), (2)

Kk (t(0) , ..., t(k) ) = Kk (t(0) , ..., t(l−1) ), (1)

Hk (t(0) , ..., t(k) ) = Hk (t(0) , ..., t(l−1) ) and (2)

Hk (t(0) , ..., t(k) ) = Hk (t(k−l+1) , ..., t(k) ). Note that the resulting process for l = 1 was discussed in Ortega and Rheinboldt ([263], Section 13.2). Corollary 11.2.5 Assume that in addition L is a Hausdorﬀ topological space which satisﬁes the ﬁrst axiom of countabi;ity, and (F3 ) If xk ∈ L (k ≥ 0) such that xk ≤ x with some x ∈ L and xk ≤ xk+1 for all k ≥ 0, then the sequence {xk } converges to a limit point x∗ ∈ L; furthermore, x∗ ≤ x.

(F4 ) If xk ∈ L (k 0) and xk → x, then −xk → −x.

Note ﬁrst that assumptions (F1 ) through (F4 ) imply that any sequence {yk } with the properties yk ∈ L, yk ≥ yk+1, and yk ≥ y (k ≥ 0) is convergent to a limit point y ∗ ∈ L; furthermore, y ∗ ≥ y. Since under the conditions of the theorem {xk } is increasing with an upper bound y0 and {yk } decreases with a lower bound x0 , both sequences are convergent. If x∗ and y ∗ denote the limit points and z is a common ﬁxed point of mappings fk such that xl ≤ z ≤ yl then x∗ ≤ z ≤ y ∗ . Consider the special l−step algorithm given as special case 2 above. Assume that for all k ≥ l − 1, mappings Kk and Hk are closed. Then, x∗ is the smallest ﬁxed point and y ∗ is the largest ﬁxed point in xl , yl . As a further special case we mention the following lemma. Lemma 11.2.6 Let B be a partially ordered topological space and let x. y be two points of B such that x ≤ y. If f : x, y → B is a continuous isotone mappings having the property that x ≤ f (x) and y ≥ f (y), then a point z ∈ x, y exists such that z = f (z). Proof. Select X = x, y , l = 1, Hk = 0 and Kk = f, and consider the iteration sequences {xk } and {yk } starting from x0 = x and y0 = y. Then, both sequences are convergent, and the limits are ﬁxed points. Remark 11.2.3 This result is known as Theorem 2.2.2, (see, Chapter 2).

Applications

Consider the simple iteration method xk+! = f (xk ),

(11.3.1)

where f : [a, b] → R with the additional properties: f (a) > a, f (b) < b, 0 ≤ f (x) ≤ q < 1 for all × ∈ [a, b], where q is a given constant. Consider the iteration sequences xk+1 = f (xk ),

x0 = a

yk+1 = f (yk ),

y0 = b

and (11.3.2)

Since f is increasingly, Theorems 11.1.2 and 11.1.3 apply to both sequences {xk } and {yk } that converge to the unique ﬁxed point s∗ ; furthermore, sequence {xk } is increasing and {yk } decreases. This situation is illustrated in Figure 11.3.1. Next we drop the assumption f (x) q < 1, but retain all other conditions. In other words, f is continuous, increasing in [a, b], f (a) > a

f (b) < b.

Notice that Theorems 11.1.2 and 11.1.3 still can be applied for the iteration sequence (11.3.2). However, the uniqueness of the ﬁxed point is no longer true. This situation is shown in Figure 11.3.2. Becausef is continuous, there is at least one ﬁxed point in the interval (a, b). (1) (2) Alternatively, Theorems 11.2.3 and 11.2.4 may also be applied with Kk = Kk ≡ (1) (2) f and Hk = Hk = 0, which has the following additional consequence. Let s∗ and s∗∗ denote the smallest and the largest ﬁxed points between a and b. Because a < s∗ and b > s∗∗ , f (a) f (s∗ ) = s∗ and f (b) f (s∗∗ ) = s∗∗ , thus, s∗ and s∗∗ are between x1 and y1 . Therefore, for all k 1, xk s∗ s∗∗ yk ; futhermore, xk → s∗ and yk → s∗∗ . If the ﬁxed point is unique, the uniqueness of the ﬁxed point can be estabilished by showing that sequences {xk } and {yk } have the same limit. Finally, we mention that the above facts can be easily extended to the more general case when f : Rn → Rn . Example 11.3.1 We now illustrate procedure (11.3.2) in the case of the single variable nonlinear equation x=

Fixed points of point-to-set mappings In this chapter special monotonicity concepts are used to compare iteration sequences and common ﬁxed points of point-to set maps.

General theorems

Assume again that X is a subset of a partially ordered space L. Let P denote a partially ordered parameter set, and for all p ∈ P and k ≥ l − 1, let the point-to-set (p) mappings fk : X k+1 → 2X . For each p ∈ P, deﬁne the iteration algorithm (p)

Introduce the following conditions: (H1 ) If p1 , p2 ∈ P such that p1 ≤ p2 , then for all x(i) ∈ X (i ≥ 0) and yj ∈ (p) (p) (p) (k) fk (x0 , x1 , ..., xk ) (j = 1, 2), y1 ≤ y2 ; (H2 ) If p ∈ P and t(i) , s(i) ∈ X such that t(i) ≤ s(i) (i ≥ 0) then yt ≤ ys for all (p) (p) k ≥ l − 1, where yt ∈ fk (t(0) , t(1) , ..., t(k) ) and ys ∈ fk (s(0) , t(1) , ..., s(k) ) are arbitrary; (p )

(p )

(H3 ) For k = 0, 1, ..., l − 1 and all p1 , p2 ∈ P such that p1 ≤ p2 , xk 1 ≤ xk 2 . (p)

Assumption (H1 ) shows that for ﬁxed k, mappings fk are increasing in p, and (p) assumption (H2 ) means that all mappings fk are isotone. Condition (H3 ) requires that the initial points are selected so that they are increasing in p. 419

Our ﬁrst result shows that under the above assumptions the entire iteration sequence (12.1.1) is increasing in p. Theorem 12.1.1 Assume that conditions (H1 ) through (H3 ) hold. Then p1 , p2 ∈ (p ) (p ) P and p1 ≤ p2 imply that for all k ≥ 0, xk 1 ≤ xk 2 . (p )

(p )

Proof. By induction, assume that xi 1 ≤ xi 2 , (i < k). Then condition (H2 ) (p ) (p1 ) (p2 ) (p2 ) implies that xk 1 ≤ y for all y ∈ fk−1 (x0 , ..., xk−1 ), and from assumption (H1 ) (p )

(p )

(p )

we conclude that y ≤ xk 2 . Thus, xk 1 ≤ xk 2 , which completes the proof.

Remark 12.1.1 The proof of the theorem remains valid in the slightly more general case, when it is assumed only that condition (H2 ) holds either for p1 or for p2 . Assume next that L is a metric space. Furthermore, (H4 ) If tk , sk ∈ X such that tk ≤ sk (k ≥ 0) and tk → t∗ , sk → s∗ as k → ∞ with some t∗ , s∗ ∈ L, then t∗ ≤ s∗ ; (p)

Theorem 12.1.2 Under assumptions (H1 ) through (H5 ), x(p1 ) ≤ x(p2 ) if p1 ≤ p2 . (p )

(p )

Proof. From Theorem 12.1.1 we know that xk 1 xk 2 for all k ≥ 0, and therefore condition (H4 ) implies the assertion. Corollary 12.1.3 Assume that for all p ∈ P, algorithm (12.1.1) is an l−step pro∗ (p) cess, mappings fk are also closed. Then, x(p) is a common ﬁxed point of mappings (p) fk (k ≥ l − 1), and it is increasing in p. As the conclusion of this section a diﬀerent class of comparison theorems is (1) (2) introduced. Consider the iteration sequences xk , xk ∈ X (k ≥ 0), and assume that (1)

which contradicts the second bulleted section of assumption (I2 ). Hence, xk ≤ xk , (1) (2) and since xi ≤ xi for i = 0, 1, ..., l − 1, the proof is complete. Remark 12.1.2 Note that this theorem generalizes the main result of Redheﬀer and Walter [291].

Consider once again the general l−step algorithm xk+1 ∈ fk (xk+1−l , xk+2−l , ..., xk ),

(12.2.1)

and assume that for k ≥ l − 1, fk : X l → 2X , where X is a subset of a partially ordered metric space L. Assume that (J1 ) The algorithm converges to an s∗ ∈ L with arbitrary initial points x0 , x1 , ..., xl−1 ∈ X; (J2 ) For all k ≥ l − 1, mappings fk is isotone; (J3 ) If xk , x ∈ X, x ≤ xk (k ≥ 0) such that xk → x∗ (x∗ ∈ L) as k → ∞, then x ≤ x∗ . The main result of this section can be formulated as the following theorem. Theorem 12.2.1 Assume that conditions (J1 ) through (J3 ) hold. Furthermore, for an x ∈ X, x ≤ y with all k ≥ l − 1 and y ∈ fk (x, x, ..., x). Then, x ≤ s∗ . Proof. Consider the iteration sequence starting with initial vectors xi = x (i = 0, 1, ..., l − 1). First we show that x ≤ xk for all k ≥ 0. By induction, assume that x ≤ xi (i < k). Since xk ∈ fk−1 (xk−l , ..., xk−2 , xk−1 ), assumption (J2 ) implies that for all y ∈ fk−1 (x, x, ..., x), y ≤ xk . Then, from the assumption of the theorem we conclude that x ≤ xk . Because xk → s∗ , condition (J3 ) implies the assertion. Remark 12.2.1 The assertion of the theorem remains true if (J2 ) is weakened as follows. If x, x(i) ∈ X such that x ≤ x(i) (i = 1, 2, ..., l), then for all k ≥ l and y ∈ fk (x, x, ..., x) and y ∗ ∈ fk (x(1) , x(2) , ..., x(l) ), y ≤ y ∗ . The theorem can be easiy extended to the general algorithm (12.1.1). The details are omitted.

(12.3.1)

zk+1 = h(zk ), where g and h : D → D, with D being a subset of Rn . Assume that for all x ∈ D, g(x) h(x), and x, x ¯ ∈ D, x x ¯ imply that g(x) g(¯ x) and h(x) h(¯ x). Then Theorem 12.1.1 implies that if the initial terms x0 and z0 are selected in such a way that x0 z0 , then for the entire iteration sequence, xk zk (k ≥ 0). If xk → x∗ and zk → z∗ as k → ∞, then x∗ ≤ z∗ . This inequality is illustrated in Figure 12.1. y=x g(x), h(x) y=h(x)

(12.3.2)

zk+1 = Bzk + d. If we assume that matrices A, B and vectors b and d are non-negative, and that A B and b d, then x0 z0 implies that xk zk for all k ≥ 0. This assertion is a simple consequence of Theorem 12.1.1 and the previous case study. Case Study 3 Consider the linear input-output system y = x − Ax,

(12.3.3)

423

where A ≥ 0 is an n × n constant matrix such that its spectral radius ρ(A) is less than one. Here, x and y denote the gross and net production vectors, respectively. It is known that for all y ∈ Rn , equation (12.3.3) has a unique solution x(y), which can be obtained as the limit of the iteration process xk+1 = Axk + y

(12.3.4) n

with arbitrary initial point x0 ∈ R . By selecting X = Rn , l = 1, f (x) = Ax + y, we obtain the following result. If for any vector u, u ≤ Au + y, then u ≤ x(y); and if for a vector v, v ≥ Av + y, then v ≥ x(y). Here, ” ≤ ” the partial order of vectors, or u = (ui ) ≤ v = (v i ) if for all i, ui ≤ v i . Case Study 4 Consider again the linear input-output system (12.3.3) with the same assumptions as before. As we have seen, the iteration process (12.3.4) converges to the unique solution x(y). Since A ≥ 0, function Ax + y is increasing in x and y. Therefore Theorem 12.1.1 with the selection p = y implies that x(y1 ) ≤ x(y2 ), if y1 ≤ y2 . That is, higher net production requires higher gross production. Case Study 5 As a simple consequence of Theorem 12.2.1, this case proves a useful result which can be applied in practical cases to determine wether a matrix has a nonnegative inverse. The assertion is the following. Theorem 12.3.1 Let A be an n × n real constant matrix. A is nonsingular and A−1 ≥ 0 if and only if an n × n real constant matrix D exists such that (i) D ≥ 0; (ii) I − DA ≥ 0; (iii) ρ(I − DA) < 1. Proof. 1. If A−1 exists and is nonnegative, then D = A−1 satisﬁes the above conditions. 2. From (iii) we know that DA is nonsingular; therefore, A−1 exists. In order to show that A−1 ≥ 0, we verify that equation Ax = b has a non-negative solution x for all b ≥ 0. Note ﬁrst that this equation is equivalent to the following x = (I − DA)x + Db.

(12.3.5)

Condition (iii) implies that the iteration sequence generated by the mapping f (x) = (I − DA)x converges to s∗ = 0. Starting from arbitrary initial vector x0 . If the partial order is selected as ” ≥ ” (instead of ” ≤ ”), then for the solution x∗ of equation (12.3.5) x∗ ≥ f (x∗ ), and therefore Theorem 12.2.1 implies that x∗ ≥ s∗ = 0. Hence, the solution x∗ of equation (12.3.5) is non-negative, which completes the proof. In the matrix theoretical literature, a special class of matrices satisfying the conditions of this theorem, is often discussed.

Deﬁnition 12.3.2 An n × n real matrix A = (aij ) is called an M -matrix, if D = −1 −1 diag(a−1 11 , a22 , . . . , ann ) satisﬁes conditions (i), (ii), (iii). Notice that assumptions (i) and (ii) imply that for all i, aii > 0 and for all i = j, aij ≤ 0. For the sake of simplicity, let NP denote the set of all n × n real matrice whose oﬀ-diagonal elements are all non-positive, and let MM denote the set of all n × n M -matrices. Obviously, MM ⊂ NP. A comprehensive summary of the mostly known characterizations of M -matrices is given as follows. Theorem 12.3.3 Let A ∈ NP. Then the following conditions are equivalent to each others: 1. there exists a vector x ≥ 0 such that Ax > 0; 2. there exists a vector x > 0 such that Ax > 0; 3. there exists a diagonal matrix D with positive diagonal such that AD1 > 0; 4. there exists a diagonal matrix D with positive diagonal such that AD is strictly diagonally dominant; 5. for each diagonal matrix R such that R ≥ A, R−1 exists and ρ(R−1 (Ad − A)) < 1, where Ad is the diagonal of A; 6. if B ≥ A and B ∈ NP, then B−1 exists; 7. each real eigenvalue of A is positive; 8. each principal minor of A is positive; 9. there exists a strictly increasing sequence ∅ = M1 ⊆ M2 ⊆ . . . ⊆ Mr = {1, 2, . . . , n} such that the principal minors A(Mi ) are positive, where A(Mi ) is obtained from A by eliminating all rows and columns with indices i ∈ / Mi ; 10. there exists a permutation matrix P such that PAP−1 can be decomposed as LU, where L ∈ NP is a lower triangular matrix with positive diagonal, and U ∈ NP is an upper triangular matrix with positive diagonal; 11. inverse A−1 exists and is non-negative. Proof. 1 ⇒ 2: The continuity of Ax implies that for suﬃciently small ε > 0, A(x+ ε1) > 0. Here x + ε1 > 0. 2 ⇒ 3: Let Ax > 0, and deﬁne D = diag(x(1) , ..., x(n) ), where x(i) denotes the ith element of x. Then, AD1 = Ax > 0. 3 ⇒ 4: Let D be a diagonal matrix with positive diagonal such that AD1 > 0. Then, with th enotation AD = W = (wij ),

since for i = j, wij ≤ 0. 4 ⇒ 5: Let WD denote the diagonal of W. Then the row −1 norm of I − W−1 D W is less than one, therefore ρ(I − WD W) < 1, and −1

−1 −1 (I − A−1 AD AD) ρ(I − A−1 D A) = ρ(D D A)D) =ρ(I − D

= ρ(I − W−1 D W) < 1,

since WD = AD D. Let R ≥ A be a diagonal matrix. Then, R ≥ AD , and therefore R−1 ≤ A−1 D . The Perron-Frobenius theorem (see, for example, Luenberger, 1979) implies that −1 ρ(R−1 (AD − A)) ≤ ρ(A−1 D (AD − A)) = ρ(I − AD A) <1.

5 ⇒ 6: Let B ≥ A such that B ∈ NP. Let BD denote the diagonal of B. Notice that AD > 0, since otherwise a singular R could be selected with at least one zero diagonal element. Inequality BD ≥ AD implies that B−1 D exists and is positive. Therefore −1 0 ≤ B−1 D (BD − B) ≤ BD (AD − A),

which implies that −1 −1 ρ(I − B−1 D BD ) = ρ(BD (BD − B)) ≤ ρ(BD (AD − A)) < 1

since the selection R = B satisﬁes condition 5. Hence, B−1 D BD is invertible, which implies that B−1 exists. 6 ⇒ 7: Assume that 6 holds, and let w ≤ 0. Then, matrix B = A−wI satisﬁes inequality B ≥ A. Since B−1 exists, w is not an eigenvalue of A. 7 ⇒ 8: Let M ⊂ {1, 2, ..., n}, and deﬁne matrix B as ⎧ i, j ∈ M ⎨ aij aii i∈ /M bij = ⎩ 0 otherwise.

Clearly, B ≥ A and B ∈ NP. It is easy to prove by ﬁnite onduction that det(B) > 0. Notice that det(B) is the product of det A(M ) and the aii ’s with i ∈ / M, and it is also the product of all eigenvalues of B. We will show that all real eigenvalues of B are positive. Let β denote an eigenvalue of B, and assume that β ≤ 0. Then ¯ = B−βI ≥ A, and we will next prove that B−βI is nonsingular, which implies B ¯ ≥ 0, and that β is not an eigenvalue of B. There exists a σ > 0 such that I−σ B ¯ = U ≥ 0. V = I−σA ≥ I−σ B

The Perron-Frobenius theory and assumption 7 imply that 0 ≤ ρ(U) ≤ ρ(V) < 1, ¯ B ¯ is nonsingular. 8 ⇒ 9: This therefore, (I − U)−1 exists. Since I − U =σ B, is trivial. 9 ⇒ 10: This assertion follows from the well-known conditions of the existence of LU decomposition (see, for example, Szidarovsky and Yakowitz, [314]. 10 ⇒ 11: Assume that A may be written as A = LU where L and U satisfy the given properties. Then both L−1 and U−1 exist and it is easy to show that L−1 and U−1 are nonnegative. Therefore, A−1 = (LU)−1 = U−1 L−1 ≥ 0. 11 ⇒ 1: Select x = A−1 1 ≥ 0, then Ax = 1 > 0. Thus, the proof is complete.

Newton-Mysovskikh conditions

The Newton-Mysovskikh theorem [248], [263] provides sufficient conditions for the semilocal convergence of Newton's method to a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space setting. In this section we show that under weaker hypotheses and a more precise error analysis than before [248], [263]weaker sufficient conditions can be obtained for the local as well as the semilocal convergence of Newton's method. Error bounds on the distances involved as well as a larger radius of convergence are also obtained. Some numerical examples are also provided. In particular we are motivated by the affine convariant Newton-Mysovskikh theorem (ACNMT) (see also Theorem 13.1.1 that follows) which basically states that if the initial guess xo is close enough to the solution x* then Newton's method (4.1.3) converges quadratically to x*. The basic condition is given by - x)II 5 wily - x1I2 for all x, y, z E D. ~~F'(Z)-~[F' ( ~F1(x)](y )

(13.1.1)

Here we have noticed (see Theorem 13.3.1) that condition (13.1.1) is not used at full strength to prove convergence of method (4.3.1). Indeed a much weaker hypothesis (see (13.1.4)) can replace (13.1.1) in the proof of the theorem. This observation has the following advantages (semilocal case): (a) the applicability of (ACNMT) is extended; (b) finer error bounds on the distances llxn+l - x, 11, llx, - x*11 (n 2 0); (c) a more precise information on the location of the solution x*; (d) the Lipschitz constant is at least as small and easier to compute. Local case: (a) a larger radius of convergence; (b) finer error bounds on the distances llx, - x*ll (n 2 0).

The above advantages are obtained under not only weaker hypotheses but under less or the same computational cost. Some numerical examples are also provided for both the semilocal and local case where our results apply where other ones in [248],[263]fail. We can show the following weaker semilocal convergence version of the Affine Covariant Newton-Mysovskikh Theorem (ACNMT): Theorem 13.1.1 Let F : D 5 X + Y be a Fre'chet continuously differentiable operator, and let xo E D be an initial guess.

A conjugate gradient solver for the normal equations

In this section a weaker version of the affine covariant Lipschitz condition appearing in connection with Newton-Mysovskikh-type theorems for the semilocal convergence of Newton methods is introduced. It turns out under weaker hypotheses and less computational cost than before [142],[194],[263]a semilocal convergence analysis can be provided for Newton methods. This approach in particular on one hand extends the usage of the conjugate gradient solver for normal equations and on the other hand provides finer error estimates on the distances involved. A simple numerical example justifies our approach. In this study we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x* of equation

where operator F is defined on an open convex subset D of the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn with values in itself. The most popular method for approximating x* is undoubtedly Newton's method. Newton's method computes iterates successively as the solution of linear algebraic systems

The classical convergence theorems of Newton-Kantorovich and Newton-Mysovsikikh and its affine covariant, affine contravariant, and affine conjugate versions assume the exact solution of (13.2.2). In practice however, in particular if the dimension is large, (13.2.2) will be solved by an iterative method. In this case, we end up with an outerlinner iteration, where the outer iterations are the Newton steps and the inner iterations result from the application of an iterative scheme to (13.2.2). It is important to tune the outer and inner iterations and to keep track of the iteration errors. With regard to affine covariance, affine contravariance, and affine conjugacy the iterative scheme for the inner iterations has to be chosen in such a way, that it easily provides information about the error norm in case of affine covariance, residual norm in case of affine contravariance, and energy norm in case of affine conjugacy. Except for convex optimization, we cannot expect Ff(x), x E D , to be symmetric positive definite. Hence, for affine covariance and affine contravariance we have to pick iterative solvers that are designed for nonsymmetric matrices. Appropriate candidates are CTGNE (Conjugate Gradient for the Normal Equations) in case of affine covariance, GMRES (Generalized Minimum M i d u a l ) in case of affine contravariance, and PCG (Preconditioned Conjuate Gradient) in case of affine conjugacy. Although our results can be extended to all solvers mentioned above we only report on CGN. In this study we are motivated by the elegant work of R. Hoppe in [I941 (see also related work by E. Cgtinag [118], [119]). Hoppe's work is based on the following assumption: Suppose that F: D L R n + R n is continuously differentiable on D with invertible F'rdchet derivative F1(x),x E Rn.

A finer mesh independence principle for Newton's method

This study is motivated by optimization considerations and presents a finer than before [I451 affine invariant theory on the asymptotic mesh independence of Newton's method for discretized nonlinear operator equations. Using a weaker version of the Newton-Mysovskikh theorem (NMT) (see also Section 13.1), for finding solutions of nonlinear operator equations in a Banach space setting we provide a finer mesh independence of Newton's method with the following advantages over earlier works: (a) The usage of mesh independence is extended under weaker hypotheses; (b) error bounds are finer; (c) the information on the location of the solution is more precise; (d) Lipschitz constants are smaller; (e) discretization algorithms are faster and terminate earlier. We are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution x* of equation

where F is a continuously Frkchet-differentiable operator defined on a convex subset D of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y. The most popular iteration process for approximating x* is undoubtedly Newton's method

The mesh independence principle [2] states that finite dimensional Newton methods, when applied to solve nonlinear equations on successively finer discretizations with comparable initial guesses, show almost the same convergence behavior on all sufficiently fine discretizations. The mesh independence principle in various forms has been used in mesh design by several authors [2], [22], [35], [44], [48], [51], [144], [145], [228]. Those papers however, lacked certain important features in the theoretical characterization that prohibited their application to discretized partial differential equations. This drawback was first avoided in [144],where the "asymptotic mesh independence" term was used.

Recently in the elegant paper [145] which is the motivation for our study a different approach is suggested, which is affine invariant but much simpler and also more natural from the algorithmic implementation point of view. The foundation of this paper is the Newton-Mysovskikh semilocal convergence theorem (see Section 13.1) which is based on the following: affine covariant Lipschitz condition I I F ' ( Z ) - ' [ F ' (-~ Ff(x)]vII ) 5 wily - xll

Under these conditions Newton's method (13.3.2) converges quadratically to x* (see also Theorem 13.1.1). However there are even simple scalar examples where hypothesis (13.3.4) does not hold and consequently there is no guarantee that method (13.3.2) starting at x0 converges to x* (see Example 13.1.1). We noticed that all the results obtained in [I451 hold in a weaker setting if (13.3.3)-(13.3.5) are replaced by the weaker (13.3.7)-(13.3.9) respectively. Indeed condition (13.3.5) is never used at full extend since weaker (13.3.7) is really needed in the proof of the theorem. We provide the main semilocal convergence result for Newton's method (13.3.2): Theorem 13.3.1 Let F , D, X , Y be as in the introduction. Let 11 - 11 denote the norm in the domain space X . Suppose that F f ( x ) is invertible for each x E D . Assume that the following afine covariant Lipschitz condition is satisfied: IIF'(Y)-~[F'(X

452 The mesh independence of Newton's method (9.3.2)

Except in some special cases in practice, we can only solve discretized nonlinear equations of finite dimension, at best on a sequence of successively finer mesh levels, say

denotes a nonlinear mapping defined on a convex domain where F j : D j + D j c X j of a finite-dimensional subspace X j c X with values in a finite dimensional space Y j . The corresponding finite dimensional ordinary Newton method reads

In each Newton step, a system of linear equations must be solved. This system can equally well be interpreted either as a discretization of the linearized operator equation (13.3.1) or as a linearization of the discrete nonlinear system (13.3.2). Again we assume that Theorem 13.3.1 holds, this time for the finite dimensional mapping F j . Let wj denote the corresponding affine invariant Lipschitz constant. Then the quadratic convergence of this Newton method is governed by the relation

Under the assumptions of Theorem 13.3.1 there exist unique discrete solutions 25 on each level j . Of course, we want to choose appropriate discretization schemes such that lim xg = x* .

The rather natural idea that a refinement of the discretization improves the approximation quality is expressed by the asymptotic assumption lim 6j = 0. j-00

We now study the comparative behavior of discrete versus continuous Newton sequences. We will consider the phenomenon of mesh independence of Newton's method in two steps. First, we will show that the discrete Newton sequence tracks the continuous Newton sequence closely, with a maximal distance bounded in terms of the mesh size; both of the Newton sequences behave nearly identical until, eventually, a small neighborhood of the solution is reached. Second, we prove the existence of affine invariant Lipschitz constants w j for the discretized problems, which approach the Lipschitz constant w of the continuous problem in the limit j 4 cm;again, the distance can be bounded in terms of the mesh size. Upon combining these two lines, we finally establish the existence of locally unique discrete solutions x5 in a vicinity of the continuous solution x*. To begin with, we prove the following nonlinear perturbation lemma. Lemma 13.3.2 Consider two Newton sequences {xk) ,{y" xO,yo and continuing as

We simply replace the (NMT) with our Theorem 13.1.1.

We are interested in the question whether a discrete solution point x; exists. The above tracking theorem, however, only supplies the following result. Corollary 13.3.4 Under the assumptions of Theorem 13.3.3, there exists at least one accumulation point

which need not be a solution point of the discrete equations F j ( x j ) = 0. In order to prove more, Theorem 13.3.1 directs us to study whether a Lipschitz condition of the kind (13.3.7) additionally holds.

13. Special topics

Proof. We just need to apply Theorem 13.3.1 to the finite dimensional mapping Fj with the starting value xg = xO,and the affine invariant Lipschitz constant w j from (13.3.8). Summarizing, we come to the following conclusion, at least in terms of the analyzed upper bounds: If the asymptotic properties

can be shown to hold, then the convergence speed of the discrete ordinary Newton method is asymptotically just the one for the continuous ordinary Newton method.
