On the Ostrowski Method for Solving Equations

Abstract

In this paper, we revisited the Ostrowski's method for solving Banach space valued equations. We developed a technique  to determine a subset of the original convergence domain and using this new Lipschitz constants derived. These constants are at least as tight as the earlier ones leading to a finer convergence analysis in both the semi-local and the local convergence case. These techniques are very general, so they can be used to extend the applicability of other methods without additional hypotheses. Numerical experiments complete this study.
