Summary

This paper gives a method for finding sharpa posteriori error bounds for Newton's method under the assumptions of Kantorovich's theorem. On the basis of this method, new error bounds are derived, and comparison is made among the known bounds of Dennis [2], Döring [4], Gragg-Tapia [5], Kantorovich [6, 7], Kornstaedt [9], Lancaster [10], Miel [11–13], Moret [14], Ostrowski [17, 18], Potra [19], and Potra-Pták [20].
