Approximating Multiple Roots of Applied Mathematical Problems Using Iterative Techniques

Abstract

In this study, we suggest a new iterative family of iterative methods for approximating the roots with multiplicity in nonlinear equations. We found a lack in the approximation of multiple roots in the case that the nonlinear operator be non-differentiable. So, we present, in this paper, iterative methods that do not use the derivative of the non-linear operator in their iterative expression. With our new iterative technique, we find better numerical results of Planck’s radiation, Van Der Waals, Beam designing, and Isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor problems. Divided difference and weight function approaches are adopted for the construction of our schemes. The convergence order is studied thoroughly in the Theorems 1 and 2, for the case when multiplicity p≥2. The obtained numerical results illustrate the preferable outcomes as compared to the existing ones in terms of absolute residual errors, number of iterations, computational order of convergence (COC), and absolute error difference between two consecutive iterations.
