Inexact Newton Methods for Solving Generalized Equations on Riemannian Manifolds

The local convergence of an inexact Newton method is studied for solving generalized equations on Riemannian manifolds by using the metric regularity property which is explored as well. Under suitable conditions and without any additional geometric assumptions, local convergence results with linear and quadratic rate and a semi-local convergence result are obtained for the proposed method. Finally, the theory can be applied to problems of finding a singularity of the sum of two vector fields.
