The problem of finding a solution of nonlinear inclusion problems in Banach space is considered in this paper. Using convex optimization techniques introduced by Robinson (Numer. Math., Vol. 19, 1972, pp. 341-347), a robust convergence theorem for inexact Newton's method is proved. As an application, an affine invariant version of Kantorovich's theorem and Smale's α-theorem for inexact Newton's method is obtained.

In this paper we study Newton's method for solving generalized equations in Banach spaces. We show that under strong regularity of the generalized equation, the method is locally convergent to a solution with superlinear/quadratic rate. The presented analysis is based on Banach Perturbation Lemma for generalized equation and the classical Lipschitz condition on the derivative is relaxed by using a general majorant function, which enables obtaining the optimal convergence radius, uniqueness of solution as well as unifies earlier results pertaining to Newton's method theory.

In this paper we consider the Newton's method for solving the generalized equation of the form $ f(x) +F(x) \ni 0, $ where $f:Ω\to Y$ is a continuously differentiable mapping, $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces, $Ω\subseteq X$ an open set and $F:X \rightrightarrows Y$ be a set-valued mapping with nonempty closed graph. We show that, under strong regularity of the generalized equation, concept introduced by S.M.Robinson in [27], and starting point satisfying the Kantorovich's assumptions, the Newton's method is quadratically convergent to a solution, which is unique in a suitable neighborhood of the starting point. The analysis presented based on Banach Perturbation Lemma for generalized equation and the majorant technique, allow to unify some results pertaining the Newton's method theory.
