Some fourth-order modifications of Newton's method

Abstract In this paper, we construct some fourth-order modifications of Newton’s method for solving nonlinear equations. Any two existing fourth-order methods can be effectively used to give rise to new fourth-order methods. Per iteration the new methods require two evaluations of the function and one of its first-derivative. Numerical examples are given to show the performance of the presented methods.
