|We prove, that under certain conditions, some classical iterative methods converge for the linear system resulting from a fourth-order compact discretization of the convection-diiusion equation.

We present a local convergence analysis for a family of Steffensen-type fourth-order methods in order to approximate a solution of a nonlinear equation. We use hypotheses up to the first derivative in contrast to earlier studies such as [1], [5]-[28] using hypotheses up to the fifth derivative. This way the applicability of these methods is extended under weaker hypotheses. Moreover the radius ...

in this paper, we present a fourth order method for computing simple roots of nonlinear equations by using suitable taylor and weight function approximation. the method is based on weerakoon-fernando method [s. weerakoon, g.i. fernando, a variant of newton's method with third-order convergence, appl. math. lett. 17 (2000) 87-93]. the method is optimal, as it needs three evaluations per ite...

In this paper, we present some variants of Cauchy’s method for solving non-linear equations. Analysis of convergence shows that the methods have fourth-order convergence. Per iteration the new methods cost almost the same as Cauchy’s method. Numerical results show that the methods can compete with Cauchy’s method. © 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V. MSC: 41A25; 65D99

We give sufficient criteria for the existence of convergence of solutions for a certain class of fourth-order nonlinear differential equations using Lyapunov's second method. A complete Lyapunov function is employed in this work which makes the results to include and improve some existing results in literature.

Quartic non-polynomial spline function approximation in off step points is developed, for the solution of fourth-order boundary value problems. Using consistency relation of such spline and suitable choice of parameter,we have obtained second, fourth and sixth orders methods. Convergence analysis of sixth order method has been given. The methods are illustrated by some examples, to verify the or...

We are concerned with the development of a K−step method for the numerical solution of fuzzy initial value problems. Convergence and stability of the method are also proved in detail. Moreover, a specific method of order 4 is found. The numerical results show that the proposed fourth order method is efficient for solving fuzzy differential equations.
