On the approximate zero of Newton method.
A judgment criterion to guarantee a point to be a Chen's approximate zero of Newton method for solving nonlinear equation is sought by dominating sequence techniques. The criterion is based on the fact that the dominating function may have only one simple positive zero, assuming that the operator is weak Lipschitz continuous, which is much more relaxed and can be checked much more easily than Lipschitz continuous in practice. It is demonstrated that a Chen's approximate zero may not be a Smale's approximate zero. The error estimate obtained indicated the convergent order when we use /f(x)/ < epsilon to stop computation in software. The result can also be applied for solving partial derivative and integration equations.
