An Optimal Class of Eighth-Order Iterative Methods Based on King’s Method

This paper based on King’s fourth order methods. A class of eighth-order methods is presented for solving simple roots of nonlinear equations. The class is developed by combining King’s fourth-order  method and Newton’s method as a third step using the forward divided difference and multiplication of  three weight function. Some numerical comparisons have been considered to show the performance of the proposed method

Stability anomalies of some jacobian-free iterative methods of high order of convergence

[EN] In this manuscript, we design two classes of parametric iterative schemes to solve nonlinear problems that do not need to evaluate Jacobian matrices and need to solve three linear systems per iteration with the same divided difference operator as the coefficient matrix. The stability performance of the classes is analyzed on a quadratic polynomial system, and it is shown that for many values of the parameter, only convergence to the roots of the problem exists. Finally, we check the performance of these methods on some test problems to confirm the theoretical results.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad under grants PGC2018-095896-B-C22, Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089 and FONDOCYT 027-2018 and 029-2018, Dominican Republic.Cordero Barbero, A.; García-Maimo, J.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Vassileva, MP.

A convex combination approach for mean-based variants of Newton's method

[EN] Several authors have designed variants of Newton¿s method for solving nonlinear equations by using different means. This technique involves a symmetry in the corresponding fixed-point operator. In this paper, some known results about mean-based variants of Newton¿s method (MBN) are re-analyzed from the point of view of convex combinations. A new test is developed to study the order of convergence of general MBN. Furthermore, a generalization of the Lehmer mean is proposed and discussed. Numerical tests are provided to support the theoretical results obtained and to compare the different methods employed. Some dynamical planes of the analyzed methods on several equations are presented, revealing the great difference between the MBN when it comes to determining the set of starting points that ensure convergence and observing their symmetry in the complex plane.This research was partially funded by Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades PGC2018-095896-B-C22 and by Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089 (Spain).Cordero Barbero, A.; Franceschi, J.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Zagati, AC.

On the Linearization of Second-Order Differential and Difference Equations

This article complements recent results of the papers [J. Math. Phys. 41 (2000), 480; 45 (2004), 336] on the symmetry classification of second-order ordinary difference equations and meshes, as well as the Lagrangian formalism and Noether-type integration technique. It turned out that there exist nonlinear superposition principles for solutions of special second-order ordinary difference equations which possess Lie group symmetries. This superposition springs from the linearization of second-order ordinary difference equations by means of non-point transformations which act simultaneously on equations and meshes. These transformations become some sort of contact transformations in the continuous limit.Comment: Published in SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA

Oscillatory Properties of Solutions of the Fourth Order Difference Equations with Quasidifferences

A class of fourth--order neutral type difference equations with quasidifferences and deviating arguments is considered. Our approach is based on studying the considered equation as a system of a four--dimensional difference system. The sufficient conditions under which the considered equation has no quickly oscillatory solutions are given
