We present a local convergence analysis of inexact Newton‐like methods for solving nonlinear equations under majorant conditions. This analysis provides an estimate of the convergence radius and a clear relationship between the majorant function, which relaxes the Lipschitz continuity of the derivative, and the nonlinear operator under consideration. It also allow us to obtain some important special cases.
