The aim of this paper is to investigate the local convergence of the Modified Newton method, i.e. the classical Newton method in which the first derivative is re-evaluated periodically after m steps. The convergence order is shown to be m + 1. A new algorithm is proposed for the estimation the convergence radius of the method. We propose also a threshold for the number of steps after which is recommended to re-evaluate the first derivative in the Modified Newton method.
