Abstract.
Some generalizations of the secant method to semismooth equations are presented. In the one-dimensional case the superlinear convergence of the classical secant method for general semismooth equations is proved. Moreover a new quadratically convergent method is proposed that requires two function values per iteration. For the n-dimensional cases, we discuss secant methods for two classes of composite semismooth equations. Most often studied semismooth equations are of such form.
