    Perturbation theory is used to generate a root finding algorithm with fifth order derivatives. The algorithm is called quintuple-correction-term algorithm. The new algorithm is contrasted with the previous quadruple-correction-term and triple-correction-term algorithms in the literature. It is found that adding a fifth correction term in the algorithm does not improve the performance.
