The Complexity of Obtaining Starting Points for Solving Operator Equations by Newton's Method.

Abstract

The complexity of searching for good starting points for iterations is studied. Global and non-asymptotic results are obtained: A useful lemma for proving lower bounds is identified, several optimal results are given for scalar equations, and upper bounds for operator equations are established by a new procedure for obtaining starting points for Newton's method.
