摘要:AbstractIn this paper, we present two new iterative methods, one of them is second derivative free, for solving nonlinear equations. We derive these methods based on the Taylor series expansion and Halley’s method. The convergence analysis of the two methods is discussed. It is established that the new methods have sixth order of convergence. Several numerical examples given show that the new methods are comparable with the well-known existing methods of the same order.
