A new sixth-order scheme for nonlinear equations
Abstract
In this paper we present a new efficient sixth-order scheme for nonlinear equations. The method is compared to several members of the family of methods developed by Neta (1979) [B. Neta, A sixth-order family of methods for nonlinear equations, Int. J. Comput. Math. 7 (1979) 157–161]. It is shown that the new method is an improvement over this well known scheme.
