Summary: We analyze a modified Newton method that was first introduced in [S. Mandal et al., Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. Eng. 112, 481–490 (2016; Zbl 1387.76058)]. The basic idea of the acceleration technique is to split the Jacobian \(A'(x)\) into a “good part” \(A'_1(x)\) and into a troublesome part \(A'_2(x)\). This second part is adaptively damped if the convergence rate is bad and fully taken into account close to the solution, such that the solver is a blend between a Picard iteration and the full Newton scheme. We will provide first steps in the analysis of this technique and discuss the effects that accelerate the convergence.
