## Three-step iterative methods for nonlinear equations.(English)Zbl 1113.65050

A new three step iterative method for solving nonlinear equations $$f(x)=0$$ is introduced based on the following scheme: Let $$x_0$$ be an initial guess sufficiently close to a simple root of the equation $$f(x)=0$$. The iterative step consists two predictor steps: $y_n=x_n-f(x_n)/ f(x_n),\quad f'(x_n)\neq 0; \quad z_n=-(y_n-x_n)^2\cdot f''(x_n)/2\cdot f'(x_n)$ and one corrector step: $x_{n+1}=x_n-f(x_n)f'(x_n)-(y_n+ x_n)^2\cdot f''(x_n)/2\cdot f'(x_n)-(y_n+z_n-x_n)^2\cdot f''(x_n)/2\cdot f'(x_n),$ $$n=0,1,2,\dots$$. The authors show that if the function $$f$$ is sufficiently differentiable on an open interval which contains a single root, and if $$x_0$$ is sufficiently close to this root, then the proposed iterative algorithm has the fourth-order of convergence. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new method.
