Convergence Order of a Class of Jarratt-like Methods: A New Approach

Abstract

Symmetry and anti-symmetry appear naturally in the study of systems of nonlinear equations resulting from numerous fields. The solutions of such equations can be obtained in analytical form only in some special situations. Therefore, algorithms or iterative schemes are mostly studied, which approximate the solution. In particular, Jarratt-like methods were introduced with convergence order at least six in Euclidean spaces. We study the methods in the Banach-space setting. Semilocal convergence is studied to obtain the ball containing the solution. The local convergence analysis is performed without the help of the Taylor series with relaxed differentiability assumptions. Our assumptions for obtaining the convergence order are independent of the solution; earlier studies used assumptions involving the solution for local convergence analysis. We compare the methods numerically with similar-order methods and also study the dynamics. © 2024 by the authors.
