Résumé

The dynamical systems method (DSM) is justified for solving operator equations $F(u)=f$, where $F$ is a nonlinear operator in a Hilbert space $H$. It is assumed that $F$ is a global homeomorphism of $H$ onto $H$, that $F\in C^1_{loc}$, that is, it has the Fréchet derivative $F'(u)$ continuous with respect to $u$, that the operator $[F'(u)]^{-1}$ exists for all $u\in H$ and is bounded, $||[F'(u)]^{-1}||\leq m(u)$, where $m(u)>0$ depends on $u$, and is not necessarily uniformly bounded with respect to $u$. It is proved under these assumptions that the continuous analogue of the Newton's method \begin{equation} \dot u=-[F'(u)]^{-1}(F(u)-f),\qquad u(0)=u_0, \tag{1} \end{equation} converges strongly to the solution of the equation $F(u)=f$ for any $f\in H$ and any $u_0\in H$. The global (and even local) existence of the solution to the Cauchy problem $(1)$ was not established earlier without assuming that $F'(u)$ is Lipschitz-continuous. The case when $F$ is not a global homeomorphism but a monotone operator in $H$ is also considered.
