A penta-parametric family of fifteenth-order multipoint methods for nonlinear equations (Q606775)

A penta-parametric family of four-step multipoint iterative methods of order fifteen for nonlinear algebraic equations are developed. The paper consists of 3 sections. Section 1 is introduction where the related works are discussed and the investigated method is described. In section 2 convergence properties of the constructed methods are established. The efficiency indices are all found to be \(15^{1/5} \approx 1,71877\), better than \(14^{1/5} \approx 1,69522\) of a family of fourteenth-order methods suggested earlier. Numerical examples are presented in section 3 to verify the developed theory.
