A family of Kurchatov-type methods and its stability

Abstract

[EN] We present a parametric family of iterative methods with memory for solving of nonlinear problems including Kurchatov¿s scheme, preserving its second-order of convergence. By using the tools of multidimensional real dynamics, the stability of members of this family is analyzed on low-degree polynomials, showing some elements of this class more stable behavior than the original Kurchatov¿s method. The iteration is extended for multi-dimensional case. Computational efficiencies of proposed technique is discussed and compared with the existing methods. A couple of numerical examples are considered to test the performance of the new family of iterations.
