Two Optimal Eighth-Order Derivative-Free Classes of Iterative Methods by F. Soleymani, S. Shateyi

“…To this end, we consider the fourth-order uniparametric family of Kung and Traub to suggest and demonstrate two classes of three-step derivative-free methods using only four pieces of information per full iteration to reach the optimal order eight and the optimal efficiency index 1.682. Moreover, a large number of numerical tests are considered to confirm the applicability and efficiency of the produced methods from the new classes.…”
