We construct a new general class of derivative freen-point iterative methods of optimal order of convergence2n-1using rational interpolant. The special cases of this class are obtained. These methods do not need Newton’s iterate in the…first step of their iterative schemes. Numerical computations are presented to show that the new methods are efficient and can be seen as better alternates.

Finding a simple root for a nonlinear equation f ( x ) = 0 , f : I ⊆ R → R has always been of much interest due to its wide applications in many fields of science and engineering. Newton’s method is usually applied to solve this kind of problems. In this paper, for such problems, we present a family of optimal derivative-free root finding methods of arbitrary high order based on inverse interpolation and modify it by using a transformation of first order derivative. Convergence analysis of the modified methods confirms that the optimal order of convergence is preserved according to the Kung-Traub conjecture. To examine the effectiveness and significance of the newly developed methods numerically, several nonlinear equations including the van der Waals equation are tested.

We develop a general class of derivative free iterative methods with optimal order of convergence in the sense of Kung–Traub hypothesis for solving nonlinear equations. The methods possess very simple design, which makes them easy to remember and hence easy to implement. The Methodology is based on quadratically convergent Traub–Steffensen scheme and further developed by using Padé approximation. Local convergence analysis is provided to show that the iterations are locally well defined and convergent. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical results and to show the good performance of new methods.

A new family of eighth-order derivative-free methods for solving nonlinear equations is presented. It is proved that these methods have the convergence order of eight. These new methods are derivative-free and only use four evaluations of the function per iteration. In fact, we have obtained the optimal order of convergence which supports the Kung and Traub conjecture. Kung and Traub conjectured that the multipoint iteration methods, without memory based on evaluations, could achieve optimal convergence order . Thus, we present new derivative-free methods which agree with Kung and Traub conjecture for . Numerical comparisons are made to demonstrate the performance of the methods presented.

Many of the engineering problems are reduced to solve a nonlinear equation numerically, and as a result, an especial attention to suggest efficient and accurate root solvers is given in literature. Inspired and motivated by the research going on in this area, this paper establishes an efficient general class of root solvers, where per computing step, three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of the first-order derivative are used to achieve the optimal order of convergence eight. The without-memory methods from the developed class possess the optimal efficiency index 1.682. In order to show the applicability and validity of the class, some numerical examples are discussed.

Abstract Many optimal order multiple root techniques, which use derivatives in the algorithm, have been proposed in literature. Many researchers tried to construct an optimal family of derivative-free methods for multiple roots, but they did not get success in this direction. With this as a motivation factor, here, we present a new optimal class of derivative-free methods for obtaining multiple roots of nonlinear functions. This procedure involves Traub–Steffensen iteration in the first step and Traub–Steffensen-like iteration in the second step. Efficacy is checked on a good number of relevant numerical problems that verifies the efficient convergent nature of the new methods. Moreover, we find that the new derivative-free methods are just as competent as the other existing robust methods that use derivatives.

We present an iterative method for solving nonlinear equations. The proposed iterative method has optimal order of convergence sixteen in the sense of Kung-Traub conjecture (Kung and Traub, 1974); it means that the iterative scheme uses five functional evaluations to achieve 16(=25-1) order of convergence. The proposed iterative method utilizes one derivative and four function evaluations. Numerical experiments are made to demonstrate the convergence and validation of the iterative method.

This paper contributes a very general class of two-point iterative methods without memory for solving nonlinear equations. The class of methods is developed using weight function approach. Per iteration, each method of the class includes two evaluations of the function and one of its first-order derivative. The analytical study of the main theorem is presented in detail to show the fourth order of convergence. Furthermore, it is discussed that many of the existing fourth-order methods without memory are members from this developed class. Finally, numerical examples are taken into account to manifest the accuracy of the derived methods.

The multi-level Monte Carlo method proposed by Giles (2008) approximates the expectation of some functionals applied to a stochastic process with optimal order of convergence for the mean-square error. In this paper a modified multi-level Monte Carlo estimator is proposed with significantly reduced computational costs. As the main result, it is proved that the modified estimator reduces the computational costs asymptotically by a factor (p / α)2 if weak approximation methods of orders α and p are applied in the case of computational costs growing with the same order as the variances decay.
