[For the entire collection see Zbl 0753.00017.] Let \(a,b\in \mathbb{R}\), \(a<b\) and the function \(f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}\) have a simple zero \(x^*\). The author considers a combination of Newton's method and a certain ``tangential parabola method to generate a sequence of compact intervals \(J_ n:=[a_ n,b_ n] \subset [a,b]\) \((n\in\mathbb{N})\) which he shows to enclose \(x^*\) monotonically and \(d(J_{n+1}) \leq\text{const}\cdot[d(J_ n)]^ 2\), \([d(J_ n)\) being the length of the interval \(J_ n\)] under certain assumptions. The cost is one evaluation of \(f\) and one of its derivatives for each iteration step only. Three numerical examples.
