An efficient optimal family of sixteenth order methods for nonlinear models
(Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2018)
The principle aim of this manuscript is to propose a general scheme that can be applied to any optimal iteration function of order eight whose first substep employ Newton’s method to further develop new interesting optimal ...
Ball convergence of a sixth-order Newton-like method based on means under weak conditions
(Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, 2018-08)
We study the local convergence of a Newton-like method of convergence order six to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation. Earlier studies show convergence under hypotheses on the seventh derivative ...
