New iterative methods for solving nonlinear problems with one and several unknowns

Abstract

[EN] In this manuscript, a new type of study regarding the iterative methods for solving nonlinear models is presented. The goal of this work is to design a new fourth-order optimal family of two-step iterative schemes, with the flexibility through weight function/s or free parameter/s at both substeps, as well as small residual errors and asymptotic error constants. In addition, we generalize these schemes to nonlinear systems preserving the order of convergence. Regarding the applicability of the proposed techniques, we choose some real-world problems, namely chemical fractional conversion and the trajectory of an electron in the air gap between two parallel plates, in order to study the multi-factor effect, fractional conversion of species in a chemical reactor, Hammerstein integral equation, and a boundary value problem. Moreover, we find that our proposed schemes run better than or equal to the existing ones in the literature.
