Abstract
In this paper, a new projection method for solving a system of nonlinear equations with convex constraints is presented. Compared with the existing projection method for solving the problem, the projection region in this new algorithm is modified which makes an optimal stepsize available at each iteration and hence guarantees that the next iterate is more closer to the solution set. Under mild conditions, we show that the method is globally convergent, and if an error bound assumption holds in addition, it is shown to be superlinearly convergent. Preliminary numerical experiments also show that this method is more efficient and promising than the existing projection method.
