A Family of Optimal Derivative Free Iterative Methods with Eighth-Order Convergence for Solving Nonlinear Equations

In this paper, modification of Steffensen’s method with eight-order convergence is presented. We propose a family of optimal three-step methods with eight-order convergence for solving the simple roots of nonlinear equations by using the weight function and interpolation methods. Per iteration this method requires four evaluations of the function which implies that the efficiency index of the d...

Derivative free two-point methods with and without memory for solving nonlinear equations

Two families of derivative free two-point iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations are constructed. These methods use a suitable parametric function and an arbitrary real parameter. It is proved that the first family has the convergence order four requiring only three function evaluations per iteration. In this way it is demonstrated that the proposed family without memory supports the...

New Efficient Optimal Derivative-Free Method for Solving Nonlinear Equations

In this paper, we suggest a new technique which uses Lagrange polynomials to get derivative-free iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations. With the use of the proposed technique and Steffens on-like methods, a new optimal fourth-order method is derived. By using three-degree Lagrange polynomials with other two-step methods which are efficient optimal methods, eighth-order methods can b...

New Eighth-Order Derivative-Free Methods for Solving Nonlinear Equations

A new family of eighth-order derivative-freemethods for solving nonlinear equations is presented. It is proved that these methods have the convergence order of eight. These new methods are derivative-free and only use four evaluations of the function per iteration. In fact, we have obtained the optimal order of convergence which supports the Kung and Traub conjecture. Kung and Traub conjectured...
