Efficient \(n\)-point iterative methods with memory for solving nonlinear equations (Q747735)

A new family of \(n\)-point derivative-free iterative methods with and without memory for solving nonlinear equations is proposed. The convergence order of the new \(n\)-point derivative-free methods with memory is \((2^{n+1} - 1 + \sqrt{2^{2(n+1)} + 1}) /2\). The computational efficiency of the new \(n\)-point methods with memory is very high. Numerical results are given.
