Improving ultimate convergence of an augmented Lagrangian method
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2008)
Optimization methods that employ the classical Powell-Hestenes-Rockafellar augmented Lagrangian are useful tools for solving nonlinear programming problems. Their reputation decreased in the last 10 years due to the ...
Extending the Applicability of Stirling's Method
Stirling's method is considered as an alternative to Newton's method when the latter fails to converge to a solution of a nonlinear equation. Both methods converge quadratically under similar convergence criteria and require ...
Ball convergence for Steffensen-type fourth-order methods
We present a local convergence analysis for a family of Steffensen-type fourth-order methods in order to approximate a solution of a nonlinear equation. We use hypotheses up to the first derivative in contrast to earlier ...
Comparison of methods for the identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2004-12-01)
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) species identification is still difficult for most clinical laboratories. The scheme proposed by Kloos and Schleifer and modified by Bannerman is the reference method used for the ...

Local Convergence for an Improved Jarratt-type Method in Banach Space
We present a local convergence analysis for an improved Jarratt-type methods of order at least five to approximate a solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. The convergence ball and error estimates are ...
