Ball convergence comparison between three iterative methods in Banach space under hypothese only on the first derivative

Abstract

Abstract We present a convergence ball comparison between three iterative methods for approximating a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. The convergence ball and error estimates are given for these methods under hypotheses only on the first Fr chet derivative in contrast to earlier studies such as Adomian (1994) [1], Babajee et al. (2008) [13], Cordero and Torregrosa (2007) [17], Cordero et al. [18], Darvishi and Barati (2007) [19], using hypotheses reaching up to the fourth Fr chet derivative although only the first derivative appears in these methods. This way we expand the applicability of these methods. Numerical examples are also presented in this study. 2015 Elsevier Inc.
