Improved qualitative analysis for newton-like methods with r-order of convergence at least three in banach spaces

Abstract

The aim of this study is to extend the applicability of a certain family of Newton- like methods with R-order of convergence at least three. By using our new idea of restricted convergence, we find a more precise location where the iterates lie leading to smaller constants and functions than in earlier studies which in turn lead to a tighter semi-local convergence for these methods. This idea can be used on other iterative methods as well as in the local convergence analysis of these methods. Numerical examples further show the advantages of the new results over the ones in earlier studies. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
