Abstract
From Kantorovich's theory we establish a general semilocal convergence result for Newton's method based fundamentally on a generalization required to the second derivative of the operator involved. As a consequence, we obtain a modification of the domain of starting points for Newton's method and improve the a priori error estimates. Finally, we illustrate our study with an application to a special case of conservative problems. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
