Abstract

We show that Newton methods for generalized equations are input-to-state stable with respect to disturbances such as due to inexact computations. We then use this result to obtain convergence and robustness of a multistep Newton-type method for multivariate generalized equations. We demonstrate the usefulness of the results with other applications to nonlinear optimization. In particular, we provide a new proof for (robust) local convergence of the augmented Lagrangian method.
