Abstract

In this paper, we present a multi-point iterative Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm for singular nonlinear equations. The algorithm converges globally and the convergence order is studied under the local error bound condition, which is weaker than the nonsingularity of the Jacobian at the solution.
