Increasing the order of convergence of iterative schemes for solving nonlinear systems

Abstract

[EN] A set of multistep iterative methods with increasing order of convergence is presented, for solving systems of nonlinear equations. One of the main advantages of these schemes is to achieve high order of convergence with few Jacobian and functional evaluations, joint with the use of the same matrix of coefficients in the most of the linear systems involved in the process. Indeed, the application of the pseudocomposition technique on these proposed schemes allows us to increase their order of convergence, obtaining new high-order, efficient methods. Finally, some numerical tests are performed in order to check their practical behavior. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
