A comparative study among new hybrid root finding algorithms and traditional methods

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel blended algorithm that has the advantages of the trisection method and the false position method. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the secant, the trisection, the Newton–Raphson, the bisection and the regula falsi methods, as well as the hybrid of the last two methods proposed by Sabharwal, with regard to the number of iterations and the average running time.
