Abstract: Based on Traub-s methods for solving nonlinear
equation f(x) = 0, we develop two families of third-order
methods for solving system of nonlinear equations F(x) = 0. The
families include well-known existing methods as special cases.
The stability is corroborated by numerical results. Comparison
with well-known methods shows that the present methods are
robust. These higher order methods may be very useful in the
numerical applications requiring high precision in their computations
because these methods yield a clear reduction in number of iterations.
Abstract: In this paper, we present two new one-step iterative
methods based on Thiele-s continued fraction for solving nonlinear
equations. By applying the truncated Thiele-s continued fraction
twice, the iterative methods are obtained respectively. Analysis of
convergence shows that the new methods are fourth-order convergent.
Numerical tests verifying the theory are given and based on the
methods, two new one-step iterations are developed.
