New family of iterative methods with high order of convergence for solving nonlinear systems

Abstract

In this paper we present and analyze a set of predictor-corrector iterative methods with increasing order of convergence, for solving systems of nonlinear equations. Our aim is to achieve high order of convergence with few Jacobian and/or functional evaluations. On the other hand, by applying the pseudocomposition technique on each proposed scheme we get to increase their order of convergence, obtaining new high-order and efficient methods. We use the classical efficiency index in order to compare the obtained schemes and make some numerical test. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
