Abstract
In [C. Ma, L. Jiang, Some research on Levenberg-Marquardt method for the nonlinear equations, Appl. Math. Comput. 184 (2007) 1032-1040], the LM parameter at the kth iteration is chosen as λk = θ {norm of matrix} Fk {norm of matrix}2 + (1 - θ) {norm of matrix} JkT Fk {norm of matrix}2 where F is the residual function, J is the Jacobi of F, and θ ∈ [0, 1] is a constant. In this note, we point out that the LM parameter can be any combination of {norm of matrix} Fk {norm of matrix}2 and {norm of matrix} JkT Fk {norm of matrix}2 provided it is positive. Furthermore, we give a more general choice of the LM parameter, and show that the LM method still preserves the quadratic convergence under the local error condition which is weaker than nonsingularity.
