In the recent paper [M. A. Noor, W. A. Khan, K. I. Noor and Eisa Al-Said, Higher-order iterative methods free from second derivative for solving nonlinear equations, International Journal of the Physical Sciences, Vol. 6 (8) (2011), 1887-1893] several iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations are presented. One of the methods is the three-step iterative method given in Algorithm (2.10) ...

In this paper, we present the preconditioned mixed-type splitting iterative method for solving the linear systems, Ax = b, where A is a Z-matrix. And we give some comparison theorems to show that the convergence rate of the preconditioned mixed-type splitting iterative method is faster than that of the mixed-type splitting iterative method. Finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate our...

We present a general analytical model which describes the superlinear convergence of Krylov subspace methods. We take an invariant subspace approach, so that our results apply also to inexact methods, and to non-diagonalizable matrices. Thus, we provide a unified treatment of the superlinear convergence of GMRES, Conjugate Gradients, block versions of these, and inexact subspace methods. Numeri...

In this paper we introduce a local convergence theory for Least Change Secant Update methods. This theory includes most known methods of this class, as well as some new interesting quasi-Newton methods. Further, we prove that this class of LCSU updates may be used to generate iterative linear methods to solve the Newton linear equation in the Inexact-Newton context. Convergence at a ¡j-superlin...
