ABSTRACT:

In this paper, we present a one-parameter family of fifth-order methods by extending Nedzhibov’s third-order methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. For a particular value of parameter, the new fifth-order method is more efficient as compared to the existing methods as its computational cost is less. Further, it requires two function evaluations, two first order Fr´echet derivatives and one matrix inversion per iteration. Numerical examples confirm that the proposed method is highly efficient and useful in solving systems of nonlinear equations.
