    Abstract

    In this paper we present a steepest descent method with Armijo's rule for
    multicriteria optimization in the Riemannian context. The well definedness of
    the sequence generated by the method is guaranteed. Under mild assumptions on
    the multicriteria function, we prove that each accumulation point (if they
    exist) satisfies first-order necessary conditions for Pareto optimality.
    Moreover, assuming quasi-convexity of the multicriteria function and
    non-negative curvature of the Riemannian manifold, we prove full convergence of
    the sequence to a Pareto critical.

    Abstract

    A local convergence analysis of Newton's method for solving nonlinear
    equations, under a majorant condition, is presented in this paper. Without
    assuming convexity of the derivative of the majorant function, which relaxes
    the Lipschitz condition on the operator under consideration, convergence, the
    biggest range for uniqueness of the solution, the optimal convergence radius
    and results on the convergence rate are established. Besides, two special cases
    of the general theory are presented as an application.
