A METHOD FOR OBTAINING ITERATIVE FORMULAS OF HIGHER ORDER FOR ROOTS OF EQUATIONS
ADRIAN MUREŞAN
1. INTRODUCTION
Formulas of the class which use information at only one point are naturally called one-point formulas. We shall consider only stationary one-point formulas which have the form
with alpha=F(alpha)\alpha=F(\alpha), if the method converges, where alpha\alpha is the root of the real or complex equation f(x)=0f(x)=0.
For the iterative method (1) which converges to alpha\alpha, we say it is of order kk if
(2)
|x_(n+1)-alpha|=0(|x_(n)-alpha|^(k)),n rarr oo.\left|x_{n+1}-\alpha\right|=0\left(\left|x_{n}-\alpha\right|^{k}\right), n \rightarrow \infty .
If the function F(x)F(x) is kk-times differentiable in a neighborhood of the limit point x=alphax=\alpha, then [3] the iterative method (1) is of order kk if and only if
In Section 2 we give some results which represent the answers of the following question: If we have a method of order kk, how can we obtain from it a method of order k+1k+1 ?
In Section 3, a family of iterative functions for finding root alpha\alpha is derived. The family includes the functions presented in Section 2.
2. HIGHER ORDER METHODS
THEOREM 1 [4]. Let (1) be an iterative method of order k( >= 2)k(\geq 2) and let the function F(x)F(x) be k+1k+1-times differentiable in a neighborhood of the limit point x=alphax=\alpha. Then
is an iterative method of order at least k+1k+1.
THEOREM 2 [1]. Let (1) be an iterative method of order kk. Let the function F(x)F(x) be k+1k+1-times differentiable in a neighborhood of the limit point x=alphax=\alpha and let F^(')(alpha)!=0F^{\prime}(\alpha) \neq 0. Then
is an iterative method of order at least k+1k+1.
Theorem 3 [4]. Let (1) be an iterative method of order kk. Let the function F(x)F(x) be k+1k+1-times differentiable in a neighborhood of the limit point x=alphax=\alpha and let F^(')(alpha)!=1F^{\prime}(\alpha) \neq 1. Then
is an iterative method of order at least k+1k+1.
Remark 1. 1. If(1)represents Newton's method for finding simple roots of the equation f(x)=0f(x)=0, namely,
(n=0,1,2,dots)(n=0,1,2, \ldots).
The order of these methods is at least 3 but, since they do not involve derivatives of ff higher than the second order, their order of convergence cannot exceed 3 (see [3]).
2. In [2] it is presented a family of transformations
where m inN^(**)m \in \mathbf{N}^{*} and a_(k),b_(k)inRa_{k}, b_{k} \in \mathbf{R}, which includes those of Newton and Halley, and which accelerates the convergence of the ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers, for some values of a_(k)a_{k} and b_(k)b_{k} to varphi\varphi (the golden number).
3. A NEW METHOD
THEOREM 4. Let (1) be an iterative method of order k( >= 2)k(\geq 2). Let the function F(x)F(x) be k+1k+1-times differentiable in a neighborhood of the limit point x=alphax=\alpha and let ss be a finite parameter such that 1-F^(')(alpha)(s+(1)/(k))!=01-F^{\prime}(\alpha)\left(s+\frac{1}{k}\right) \neq 0. Then
hence conditions (15) are fulfilled.
Remark 2. For s=-(1)/(k)s=-\frac{1}{k} we obtain the iterative method (4), for s=0s=0 we obtain the iterative method (5) and for s=1-(1)/(k)s=1-\frac{1}{k} we obtain the iterative method (6).
