An Inexact Newton-like conditional gradient method for constrained nonlinear systems

Abstract: In this paper, we propose an inexact Newton-like conditional gradient method for solving constrained systems of nonlinear equations. The local convergence of the new method as well as results on its rate are established by using a general majorant condition. Two applications of such condition are provided: one is for functions whose the derivative satisfies Holder-like condition and the other is for functions that satisfies a Smale condition, which includes a substantial class of analytic functions. Some preliminaries numerical experiments illustrating the applicability of the proposed method for medium and large problems are also presented.
