Two novel efficient memory-based multi-point iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations

In order to solve nonlinear equations, we introduce two new three-step with-memory iterative methods in this paper. We have improved the order of convergence of a well-known optimal eighth-order iterative method by extending it into two with-memory methods using one and two self-accelerating parameters, respectively. The self-accelerating parameters that increase the convergence order are computed using the Hermite interpolating polynomial. The newly proposed uni-parametric and bi-parametric with-memory iterative methods (IM) improved the R-order of convergence of the existing eighth-order method from $8$ to $10$ and $10.7446$, respectively. Furthermore, the efficiency index has increased from $1.6818$ to $1.7783$ and $1.8105$, respectively. In addition, this improvement in convergence order and efficiency index can be obtained without using any extra function evaluations. Extensive numerical testing on a wide range of problems demonstrates that the proposed methods are more efficient than some well-known existing methods.
