We present a new modified Newton's method with third-order convergence and compare it with the Jarratt method, which is of fourth-order. Based on this new method, we obtain a family of Newton-type methods, which converge cubically. Numerical examples show that the presented method can compete with Newton's method and other known third-order modifications of Newton's method.

In this manuscript, a new family of Jacobian-free iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems is presented. The fourth-order convergence for all the elements of the class is established, proving, in addition, that one element of this family has order five. The proposed methods have four steps and, in all of them, the same divided difference operator appears. Numerical problems, including systems of academic interest and the system resulting from the discretization of the boundary problem described by Fisher’s equation, are shown to compare the performance of the proposed schemes with other known ones. The numerical tests are in concordance with the theoretical results.

We present new modifications to Newton's method for solving nonlinear equations. The analysis of convergence shows that these methods have fourth-order convergence. Each of the three methods uses three functional evaluations. Thus, according to Kung-Traub's conjecture, these are optimal methods. With the previous ideas, we extend the analysis to functions with multiple roots. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate that the presented methods have better performance compared with Newton's classical method and other methods of fourth-order convergence recently published.

A family of derivative-free methods of seventh-order convergence for solving nonlinear equations is suggested. In the proposed methods, several linear combinations of divided differences are used in order to get a good estimation of the derivative of the given function at the different steps of the iteration. The efficiency indices of the members of this family are equal to 1.6266. Also, numerical examples are used to show the performance of the presented methods, on smooth and nonsmooth equations, and to compare with other derivative-free methods, including some optimal fourth-order ones, in the sense of Kung-Traub’s conjecture.

AbstractIn many problems, one wishes to solve the Helmholtz equation with variable coefficients within the Laplacian-like term and use a high order accurate method (e.g., fourth order accurate) to alleviate the points-per-wavelength constraint by reducing the dispersion errors. The variation of coefficients in the equation may be due to an inhomogeneous medium and/or non-Cartesian coordinates. This renders existing fourth order finite difference methods inapplicable. We develop a new compact scheme that is provably fourth order accurate even for these problems. We present numerical results that corroborate the fourth order convergence rate for several model problems.

A new parametric family of iterative schemes for solving nonlinear systems is presented. Fourth-order convergence is demonstrated and its stability is analyzed as a function of the parameter values. This study allows us to detect the most stable elements of the class, to find the fractals in the boundary of the basins of attraction and to reject those with chaotic behavior. Some numerical tests show the performance of the new methods, confirm the theoretical results and allow to compare the proposed schemes with other known ones.
