摘要:
A second-derivative-free iteration method is proposed below for finding a root of a nonlinear equation f (x) = 0 with integer multiplicity m >= 1: x(n+1) = x(n) - f(x(n) - mu f(x(n))/f'(x(n))) + gamma f(x(n))/f'(x(n)), n = 0, 1, 2, .... We obtain the cubic order of convergence and the corresponding asymptotic error constant in terms of multiplicity m, and parameters mu and gamma. Various numerical examples are presented to confirm the validity of the proposed scheme. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
