Abstract
Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M forshort) method is one of the most important methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. In this paper, we consider the convergence under \(\lambda_{k}=\min(\|F_{k}\|,\|J_{k}^{T}F_{k}\|)\) of L-M method. We will show that if ∥ F(x k ) ∥ provides a local error bound, which is weaker than the condition of nonsingularity for the system of nonlinear equations, the sequence generated by the L-M method converges to the point of the solution set quadratically. As well, numerical experiments are reported.
