Abstract

Convergence of the classical Newton's method and its DSM version for solving operator equations F(u)=hF(u)=h is proved without any smoothness assumptions on F(u)F'(u). It is proved that every solvable equation F(u)=fF(u)=f can be solved by Newton's method if the initial approximation is sufficiently close to the solution and [F(y)]1m||[F'(y)]^{-1}||\leq m, where m>0m>0 is a constant.
