A Regularized Newton Method with Correction for Unconstrained Nonconvex Optimization

In this paper, we present a modified regularized Newton method for minimizing a nonconvex function whose Hessian matrix may be singular. We show that if the gradient and Hessian of the objective function are Lipschitz continuous, then the method has a global convergence property. Under the local error bound condition which is weaker than nonsingularity, the method has cubic convergence.
