On the generalization of secant method and the order of convergence
Juan Carlos Trillo,Vicente Candela,Natalia Expósito,Pedro J. Martínez-Aparicio
Keywords:Nonlinear equations, Secant Method, Muller method, order of convergence
Abstract:
      In this paper we start generalizing the well known Secant and M\text {\"u}ller methods by using higher degree polynomials. Although such generalization does already exist, we prove in an original and elegant way that the order of convergence p is limited by p=2. The techniques used in this paper could also be helpful in other contexts. We also perform some numerical experiments to reinforce the theoretical results.
