A globally convergent derivative-free method for solving large-scale nonlinear monotone equations

Abstract

In this paper, we propose two derivative-free iterative methods for solving nonlinear monotone equations, which combines two modified HS methods with the projection method in Solodov and Svaiter (1998) [5]. The proposed methods can be applied to solve nonsmooth equations. They are suitable to large-scale equations due to their lower storage requirement. Under mild conditions, we show that the proposed methods are globally convergent. The reported numerical results show that the methods are efficient.
