Abstract

The Newtom method and the quasi-Newton method for solving equations of smooth compositions of semismooth functions are proposed. The Q-superlinear convergence of the Newton method and the Q-linear convergence of the quasi-Newton method are proved. The present methods can be more easily implemeted than previous ones for this class of nonsmooth equations.
