摘要：Based on Traub-Steffensen method, we present a derivative free three-step family of sixth-order methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. The local convergence order of the family is determined using first-order divided difference operator for functions of several variables and direct computation by Taylor's expansion. Computational efficiency is discussed, and a comparison between the efficiencies of the proposed techniques with the existing ones is made. Numerical tests are performed to compare the methods of the proposed family with the existing methods and to confirm the theoretical results. It is shown that the new family is especially efficient in solving large systems.
