COMPARISON BETWEEN SOME SIXTH CONVERGENCE ORDER SOLVERS UNDER THE SAME SET OF CRITERIA

Abstract

Different set of criteria based on the seventh derivative are used for convergence of sixth order methods. Then, these methods are compared using numerical examples. But we do not know: if the results of those comparisons are true if the examples change; the largest radii of convergence; error estimates on distance between the iterate and solution, and uniqueness results that are computable. We address these concerns using only the first derivative and a common set of criteria. Numerical experiments are used to test the convergence criteria and further validate the theoretical results. Our technique can be used to make comparisons between other methods of the same order. © Petrozavodsk State University, 2020
