This paper explores a two-step inertial derivative-free projection method with a relaxation factor γ∈(0,2) for solving nonlinear pseudo-monotone equations. Unlike existing inertial algorithms for the system of nonlinear pseudo-monotone equations, the inertial step of our method involves the current iteration point and the previous two iteration points. In particular, one of the inertial parameters is nonpositive. In the proposed algorithm, the search direction possesses not only the sufficient descent property but also the trust region property, independent of the line search technique. Moreover, we also establish the global convergence and the convergence rate of the algorithm without the Lipschitz continuity of the underlying mapping. Finally, our method provides competitive results on standard nonlinear monotone and pseudo-monotone equations and logistic regression problems compared with two inertial algorithms existing in the literature.
