Optimal Steffensen type iterative methods obtained by inverse interpolation

Let \(f:I\subset \mathbb{R\rightarrow R}\) be a nonlinear mapping and the equation \(f\left( x\right) =0\) with solution \(x^{\ast}\); consider the equivalent equations \(\varphi_{i}\left( x\right) =x\), \(i=1,…,n+1\). Given \(x_{k}\) an approximation to \(x^{\ast}\), we consider the following nodes for the Hermite interpolation polynomial \[x_{k}^{1}=\varphi_{1}(x_{k}) ,\ \ x_{k}^{2}=\varphi_{2}(x_{k} ^{1}), \ldots, \ \ x_{k}^{n+1}=\varphi_{n+1}(x_{k}^{n}). \] Assume that the nodes \(x_{k}^{i},i=1,…,n+1\) have the multiplicity orders resp. \(\alpha_{i},i=1,…,n+1\). Moreover, the convergence orders of the successive iterations for \(\varphi_{i}\) are resp. \(p_{i},p_{i}\in \mathbb{N},p_{i}\geq1,i=1,…,n+1\). The iterative method obtained from the inverse interpolation Hermite polynomial is a Steffensen type method. If we permute the multiplicity orders of the nodes and the assumed convergence orders, we obtain class of iterative methods. Among this class we determine the methods with the highest convergence orders.
