Abstract

In this paper, we present, analyze, and test a family of high order iterative methods for finding simple and multiple roots of nonlinear algebraic equations of the form f(x) = 0. The proposed method can achieve convergence of order p, where p≥ 2 is a positive integer. The standard Newton–Raphson method (p= 2 ) and the Chebyshev’s method (p= 3 ) are both special cases of this family of methods. The pth order method requires evaluation of the function and its derivative up to order p- 1 at each step. Several numerical experiments are provided to validate the theoretical order of convergence for nonlinear functions with simple and multiple roots.
