We recently showed in [5] a semilocal convergence theorem that guarantees convergence of Newton's method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation under hypotheses weaker than those of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem [7]. Here, we first weaken Miranda's theorem [1], [9], [10], which is a generalization of the intermediate value theorem. Then, we show that operators satisfying the weakened Newton-Kantorovich conditions satisfy those of the weakened Miranda’s theorem.

We use an improved Newton-Kantorovich theorem introduced in [2] to analyze interior point methods. Our approach requires less number of steps than before [5] to achieve a certain error tolerance for both Newton's and Modified Newton's methods.

In this study, an extended Kantorovich method, employing multi-term displacement functions, is applied to analyze the vibration problem of symmetrically laminated plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. The vibration behaviors of laminated plates are determined based on the variational principle of total energy minimization and the iterative Kantorovich method. The out-of-plane displacement is represented in the form of a series of a sum of products of functions in x and y directions. With a known function in the x or y directions, the formulation for the variation of total potential energy is transformed to a set of governing equations and a set of boundary conditions. The equations and boundary conditions are then numerically solved for the natural frequency and vibration mode shape. The solutions are verified with available solutions from the literature and solutions from the Ritz and finite element analysis. In most cases, the natural frequencies compare very well with the reference solutions. The vibration mode shapes are also very well modeled using the multi-term assumed displacement function in the terms of a power series. With the method used in this study, it is possible to solve the angle-ply plate problem, where the Kantorovich method with single-term displacement function is ineffective.

An iteractive Kantorovich method is presented for the vibration analysis of rectangular orthotropic thick plates. Mindlin plate characteristic functions are derived in general forms using the Kantorovich method. Initially, Timoshenko beam functions consistent with the boundary conditions of the plate were used. Through numerical calculations of natural fairs of appropriate models, it has been confirmed that the method presented is superior to the Rayleigh-Ritz analysis or the finite element analysis in both accuracy and computational efficiency.

In this work we study the local and semilocal convergence of the relaxed Newton's method, that is Newton's method with a relaxation parameter 0 < ${\lambda}$ < 2. We give a Kantorovich-like theorem that can be applied for operators defined between two Banach spaces. In fact, we obtain the recurrent sequence that majorizes the one given by the method and we characterize its convergence by a result that involves the relaxation parameter ${\lambda}$. We use a new technique that allows us on the one hand to generalize and on the other hand to extend the applicability of the result given initially by Kantorovich for ${\lambda}=1$.

The paper is devoted to study local convergence of a continuation method under the assumption of majorant conditions. The method is used to approximate a zero of an operator in Banach space and is of third order. It is seen that the famous Kantorovich-type and Smale-type conditions are special cases of our majorant conditions. This infers that our result is a generalized one in comparison to results based on Kantorovich-type and Smale-type conditions. Finally a number of numerical examples have been computed to show applicability of the convergence analysis.

An iterative Kantorovich method is presented for the vibration analysis of rectangular isotopic and orthotropic thick plates. Mindlin plate characteristic functions are derived in general forms by the Kantorovich method initially starting with Timoshenko beam functions consistent with the boundary conditions of the plate. Through numerical calculations of natural pairs, i.e. natural frequencies and corresponding modes, and dynamic responses of appropriate models, it has been confirmed that the presented method is superior to the Rayleigh-Ritz analysis or the FEM analysis in accuracy and computational efficiency.

We consider numerical methods for finding a solution to a nonlinear system of algebraic equations $$ (1) f(x) = 0, $$ where the function $f : R^n \to R^n$ is ain $x \in R^n$. In [10], a quasi-Gauss-Newton method is proposed and shown the computational efficiency over SQRT algorithm by numerical experiments. The convergence rate of the method has not been proved theoretically. In this paper, we show theoretically that the iterate $x_k$ obtained from the quasi-Gauss-Newton method for the problem (1) actually converges to a root by Kantorovich-type convergence analysis. We also show the rate of convergence of the method is superlinear.

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.

For analysis of the plates and membranes by numerical or analytical methods, the question of choice of the system of functions satisfying the different boundary conditions remains a major challenge to address. It is to this issue that is dedicated this work based on an approach of choice of combinations of trigonometric functions, which are shape functions of a bended beam with the boundary conditions corresponding to the plate support mode. To do this, the shape functions of beam vibrations for strength analysis of the rectangular plates by Kantorovich-Vlasov's method is considered. Using the properties of quasi-orthogonality of those functions allowed assessing to differential equation for every member of the series. Therefore it's proposed some new forms of integration of the beam functions, in order to simplify the problem.
