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. |
