Abstract
In this note, we show that the proof of Remark 3 of Lemma 3.2 in “A three-term derivative-free projection method for nonlinear monotone system of equations” (Calcolo 53:427–450, 2016) is not correct, which implies that the conclusion of Remark 3 is not appropriate to prove Theorem 3.1. A new proof of Remark 3 is established, which guarantees the corresponding global convergence Theorem 3.1. Throughout, we use the same notations and equation numbers as in the above reference.
