Some Class of Third- and Fourth-Order Iterative Methods for Solving Nonlinear Equations

الملخص EN

The object of the present work is to give the new class of third- and fourth-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations.

Our proposed third-order method includes methods of Weerakoon and Fernando (2000), Homeier (2005), and Chun and Kim (2010) as particular cases.

The multivariate extension of some of these methods has been also deliberated.

Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the performances of our proposed methods by comparing them with some well existing third- and fourth-order methods.

The efficiency of our proposed fourth-order method over some fourth-order methods is also confirmed by basins of attraction.
