We propose a new modification of Bellman’s quasilinearization method such that at any iteration step, it works with an approximate solution of the original nonlinear system and with new approximation of parameters α(k+1) which are close enough to the previous ones. As an output, this approach provides a construction of a convergent sequence of parameters where the limit is the best approximatio...

The generalized quasilinearization method for second-order boundary value problem has been extended when the forcing function is the sum of two functions without require that any of the two functions involved to be 2-hyperconvex or 2-hyperconcave. Two sequences are developed under suitable conditions which converge to the unique solution of the boundary value problem. Furthermore, the convergen...

On the background of a careful analysis of linear DAEs, linearizations of nonlinear index2 systems are considered. Finding appropriate function spaces and their topologies allows to apply the standard Implicit Function Theorem again. Both, solvability statements as well as the local convergence of the Newton-Kantorovich method (quasilinearization) result immediately. In particular, this applies...
