The famous Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis has been used for a long time as a sufficient condition for the convergence of Newton method to a solution of an equation in connection with the Lipschitz continuity of the Frechet-derivative of the operator involved. Using Lipschitz and center-Lipschitz conditions we show that the Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis is weakened. The error bounds obtained under our semilocal convergence result are finer and the information on the location of the solution more precise than the corresponding ones given by the dominating Newton-Kantorovich theorem, and under the same hypotheses/computational cost, since the evaluation of the Lipschitz also requires the evaluation of the center-Lipschitz constant. In the case of local convergence we obtain a larger convergence radius than before. This observation is important in computational mathematics and can be used in connection to projection methods and in the construction of optimum mesh independence refinement strategies.

In this paper, we introduce the reverse of the operator Davis-Choi-Jensen's inequality. Our results are employed to establish a new bound for the Furuta inequality. More precisely, we prove that, if $A,\;B{\in}{\mathcal{B}}({\mathcal{H}})$ are self-adjoint operators with the spectra contained in the interval [m, M] with m < M and A ≤ B, then for any $r{\geq}{\frac{1}{t}}>1,\,t{\in}(0,\,1)$ $A^r{\leq}({\frac{M1_{\mathcal{H}}-A}{M-m}}m^{rt}+{\frac{A-m1_{\mathcal{H}}}{M-m}}M^{rt}){^{\frac{1}{t}}}{\leq}K(m,\;M,\;r)B^r,$ where K (m, M, r) is the generalized Kantorovich constant.

A semi-analytical method is presented for accurately prediction of the free vibration behavior of generally laminated composite plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. The method employs the technique of separation of spatial variables within Hamilton's principle to obtain the equations of motion, including two systems of coupled ordinary homogeneous differential equations. Subsequently, by applying the laminate constitutive relations into the resulting equations two sets of coupled ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, in terms of displacements, are achieved. The obtained differential equations are solved for the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes, with the use of the exact state-space approach. The formulation is exploited in the framework of the first-order shear deformation theory to incorporate the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia. The efficiency and accuracy of the present method are demonstrated by obtaining solutions to a wide range of problems and comparing them with finite element analysis and previously published results.

The use of frequency-dependent dynamic stiffness matrix (or spectral element matrix) in structural dynamics may provide very accurate solutions, while it reduces the number of degrees-of-freedom to improve the computational efficiency and cost problems. Thus, this paper develops a spectral element model for the thin plates moving with constant speed under uniform in-plane tension and gravity. The concept of Kantorovich method and the principle of virtual displacement is used in the frequency-domain to formulate the dynamic stiffness matrix. The present spectral element model is evaluated by comparing its solutions with the exact analytical solutions. The effects of moving speed, in-plane tension and gravity on the natural frequencies of the plate are numerically investigated.
