A version of the inexact Levenberg-Marquardt method for constrained nonsmooth equations

We herein propose a variant of the projected inexact Levenberg--Marquardt method (ILMM) for solving constrained nonsmooth equations. Since the orthogonal projection onto the feasible set may be computationally expensive, we propose a local ILMM with feasible inexact projections. By using assumption of semi-smoothness and an error bound condition which is weaker than the standard full rank assumption, we establish its convergence results, including results on its rate. Finally, some computacional results are reported in order to illustrate the advantages of the new schemes.

A Global Version of the Newton Method for Finding a Singularity of the Nonsmooth Vector Fields on Riemannian Manifolds

This paper is concerned with an algorithm for finding a singularity of the nonsmooth vector fields. Firstly, we discuss the main results of the Newton method presented in [1] for solving the aforementioned problem. Combining this method with a nonmonotone line search strategy, we then propose a global version of the Newton Method. Finally, numerical experiments illustrating the practical advantages of the proposed scheme are reported.

Newton method for finding a singularity of a special class of locally Lipschitz continuous vector fields on Riemannian manifolds

In this paper, we extend some results of nonsmooth analysis from Euclidean context to the Riemannian setting. In particular, we discuss the concept and some properties of locally Lipschitz continuous vector fields on Riemannian settings, such as Clarke generalized covariant derivative, upper semicontinuity and Rademacher theorem. We also present a version of Newton method for finding a singularity of a special class of locally Lipschitz continuous vector fields. Under mild conditions, we establish the well-definedness and local convergence of the sequence generated by the method in a neighborhood of a singularity. In particular, a local convergence result for semismooth vector fields is presented. Furthermore, under Kantorovich-type assumptions the convergence of the sequence generated by the Newton method to a solution is established, and its uniqueness in a suitable neighborhood of the starting point is verified.

Inexact Newton method with feasible inexact projections for solving constrained smooth and nonsmooth equations

In this paper, we propose a new method that combines the inexact Newton method with a procedure to obtain a feasible inexact projection for solving constrained smooth and nonsmooth equations. The local convergence theorems are established under the assumption of smoothness or semismoothness of the function that defines the equation and its regularity at the solution. In particular, we show that a sequence generated by the method converges to a solution with linear, superlinear, or quadratic rate, under suitable conditions. Moreover, some numerical experiments are reported to illustrate the practical behavior of the proposed method.
