Abstract

This paper investigates inexact Newton methods for solving systems of nonsmooth equations. We define two inexact Newton methods for locally Lipschitz functions and we prove local (linear and superlinear) convergence results under the assumptions of semismoothness and BD-regularity at the solution. We introduce a globally convergent inexact iteration function based method. We discuss implementations and we give some numerical examples.
