Abstract

In this paper, we present a simple, and yet powerful and easily applicable scheme in constructing the Newton-like iteration formulae for the computation of the solutions of nonlinear equations. The new scheme is based on the homotopy analysis method applied to equations in general form equivalent to the nonlinear equations. It provides a tool to develop new Newton-like iteration methods or to improve the existing iteration methods which contains the well-known Newton iteration formula in logic; those all improve the Newton method. The orders of convergence and corresponding error equations of the obtained iteration formulae are derived analytically or with the help of Maple. Some numerical tests are given to support the theory developed in this paper.
