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...

New iterative methods with seventh-order convergence for solving nonlinear equations

In this paper, seventh-order iterative methods for the solution ofnonlinear equations are presented. The new iterative methods are developed byusing weight function method and using an approximation for the last derivative,which reduces the required number of functional evaluations per step. Severalexamples are given to illustrate the eciency and the performance of the newiterative methods.

Two Efficient Derivative-Free Iterative Methods for Solving Nonlinear Systems

In this work, two multi-step derivative-free iterative methods are presented for solving system of nonlinear equations. The new methods have high computational efficiency and low computational cost. The order of convergence of the new methods is proved by a development of an inverse first-order divided difference operator. The computational efficiency is compared with the existing methods.

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...
