On the convergence of a damped-secant method with modified right-hand side vector

[EN] We present a convergence analysis for a Damped Secant method with modified right-hand side vector in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach spaces setting. In the special case when the method is defined on Ri , our method provides computable error estimates based on the initial data. Such estimates were not given in relevant studies such as (Herceg et al., 1996; Krejic´, 2002). Numerical examples further validating the theoretical results are also presented in this study.The authors thank to the anonymous referee for his/her valuable comments and for the suggestions to improve the final version of the paper.
