Extending the applicability of a fourth-order method under Lipschitz continuous derivative in Banach spaces

Abstract

We extend the applicability of a fourth-order convergent nonlinear system solver by providing its local convergence analysis under Lipschitz continuous Fréchet derivative in Banach spaces. Our analysis only uses the first-order Fréchet derivative to ensure the convergence and provides the uniqueness of the solution, the radius of convergence ball and the computable error bounds. This study is applicable in solving such problems for which earlier studies are not effective. Furthermore, the convergence region for the scheme to approximate the zeros of various polynomials is studied using basins of attraction tool. Various computational tests are conducted to validate that our analysis is beneficial when prior studies fail to solve problems.
