Abstract
Solving nonlinear equations is one of the most important problems in numerical analysis, and has a wide range of application in various aspects, as well as many branches of science, engineering, physics, computing, astronomy, finance, .. . Generally, it is difficult to find the exact root of the nonlinear equations, and so iterative methods become the efficient way to obtain approximate solutions. Recently Kou et. al. presented a class of new variants of Ostrowski's method with order of convergence equals seven (OSM7) for solving simple roots of nonlinear equations proposed in [7]. Ostrowski's method (OSM7) has efficiency index equals to ∜7≈1.626, it has four functions per iteration but its order of convergence is seven that means it's not optimal method. In this paper, we have proposed new two improvements of Ostrowski's method (OSM7) to make it an optimal eight family and to increase its efficiency index. The first improvement has obtained by multiplied the third step of (OSM7) by product of two weight functions with some special conditions and the second improvement has obtained by multiplied the third step of (OSM7) by summation of two others weigh functions with special conditions, too. Using weight functions in every improvement helped us to improve the order of convergence of (OSM7) from seven to eight without changing the number of function evaluations to be an optimal family. New two optimal families have efficiency index equals to ∜8≈1.682. Some numerical examples are provided to show the good performance of the new methods.

Summary
Solving nonlinear equations is one of the most important problems in science and engineering but the exact and analytic solutions of such non-linear equations are not always easy to find. Due to their importance, many numerical iterative methods have been suggested and analyzed under certain conditions. It is clear that this variant requires to be of order eight to be an optimal iterative method, so we multiply the last step by two weight functions which they satisfy some conditions and without using more evaluations. These weight functions increased the order of this method from seven to eight in order to be an optimal iterative method, see [2]
