Avoiding the computation of the second Fréchet-derivative in the convex acceleration of Newton's method (Q1298644)

The authors propose a new two-point method of \(R\)-order three for approximately solving a nonlinear operator equation in a Banach space, which necessitates no evaluation of the second derivative. They prove that the sequence produced by their method converges \(R\)-cubically to a solution of the operator equation, moreover, the solution is unique in a neighborhood of the initial guess point. Furthermore, the error estimates for the sequence are obtained. Three numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of their method.
