A new class of secant-like methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations

José A. Ezquerro, Angela Grau, Miquel Grau-Sánchez and Miguel A. Hernández-Verón

Vol. 9 (2014), No. 2, 201–213
Abstract

Applying twice an idea of Hernández and Rubio (2002) for constructing a one-parameter family of secant-like methods, we define a two-parameter family of secant-like methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations. We analyze the efficiency of this new family and conclude that the Kurchatov method, which is one member of the family, is the most efficient. We illustrate this with Troesch’s problem.

Keywords
nonlinear equations, iterative methods, divided difference, secant method, Kurchatov method, secant-like method, order of convergence, efficiency index, computational efficiency
