Some optimal iterative methods and their with memory variants (Q392252): Difference between revisions

The paper concerns some optimal iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations. Based on some existing works, the author constructs a new method, which needs only 4 function evaluations per step and achieves the optimal 8th-order accuracy. This result is also proved rigorously. Furthermore, by carefully choosing the free parameter in the method, the author obtains a new method with memory and obtains a much better convergence rate, namely, order 10. Numerical results are presented to confirm the theoretical results.
