Abstract

We show that strong differentiability at solutions is not necessary for superlinear convergence of quasi-Newton methods for solving nonsmooth equations. We improve the superlinear convergence result of Ip and Kyparisis for general quasi-Newton methods as well as the Broyden method. For a special example, the Newton method is divergent but the Broyden method is superlinearly convergent.
