Abstract:

With the rapid development of information technology and wide application of science and technology, nonlinear problems become an important direction of research in the field of numerical calculation. In this paper, we mainly study the iterative algorithm of nonlinear equations. We present and analyze two modified Newton-type methods with order of convergence six for solving nonlinear equations. The methods are free from second derivatives. Both of them require three evaluations of the functions and two evaluations of derivatives in each step. Therefore the efficiency index of the presented methods is 1.431 which is better than that of the classical Newton’s method 1.414. Some numerical results illustrate that the proposed methods are more efficient and perform better than the classical Newton's method.
