Third-order iterative methods without using any Fréchet derivative

AbstractA modification of classical third-order methods is proposed. The main advantage of these methods is they do not need to evaluate any Fréchet derivative. A convergence theorem in Banach spaces, just assuming the second divided difference is bounded and a punctual condition, is analyzed. Finally, some numerical results are presented.

A Polynomial Approach to the Piecewise Hyperbolic Method

In this paper, a local (third-order accurate) shock capturing method for hyperbolic conservation laws is presented. The method has been made with the same idea as the PHM method, but with a simpler reconstruction. A comparison with the classic high order methods is discussed.

A class of quasi-Newton generalized Steffensen methods on Banach spaces

AbstractWe consider a class of generalized Steffensen iterations procedure for solving nonlinear equations on Banach spaces without any derivative. We establish the convergence under the Kantarovich–Ostrowski's conditions. The majorizing sequence will be a Newton's type sequence, thus the convergence can have better properties. Finally, a numerical comparation with the classical methods is presented.
