Several of these methods are derivative-free. One of the oldest is the secant method where the derivative is replaced by a divided difference. Clearly such method will need an additional starting value. Here we consider several derivative-free methods and compare them using the idea of basin of attraction.</p>}, number={2}, journal={J.
