Semilocal convergence by using recurrence relations for a fifth-order method in Banach spaces

摘要

In this paper, a semilocal convergence result in Banach spaces of an efficient fifth-order method is analyzed. Recurrence relations are used in order to prove this convergence, and some a priori error bounds are found. This scheme is finally used to estimate the solution of an integral equation and so, the theoretical results are numerically checked. We use this example to show the better efficiency of the current method compared with other existing ones, including Newton’s scheme.
