Abstract

We present a local convergence analysis for some families of fourth and sixth-order methods in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting.

Kou, Semilocal convergence and [Formula: see text]-order for modified Chebyshev–Halley methods, Numer. Algorithms 64(1) (2013) 105–126] have used hypotheses on the fourth Fréchet derivative of the operator involved. We use hypotheses only on the first Fréchet derivative in our local convergence analysis. This way, the applicability of these methods is extended. Moreover the radius of convergence and computable error bounds on the distances involved are also given in this study. Numerical examples illustrating the theoretical results are also presented in this study.
