An optimization of Chebyshev's method (Q2272151)

The authors present a new third-order multipoint iteration with the efficiency close to the efficiency of the Newton method for approximating numerical solutions of nonlinear equations and with the same region of accessibility. First, they remind some basic facts on approximations to the numerical solution of an equation \(F(x)=0\) using the Newton and Chebyshev methods. Then, a modification of the Chebyshev method is introduced together with a convergence and complexity analysis of the iterations. Finally, the authors give some examples of the new method.
