Development of a Family of Jarratt-Like Sixth-Order Iterative Methods for Solving Nonlinear Systems with Their Basins of Attraction

Abstract

We develop a family of three-step sixth order methods with generic weight functions employed in the second and third sub-steps for solving nonlinear systems. Theoretical and computational studies are of major concern for the convergence behavior with applications to special cases of rational weight functions. A number of numerical examples are illustrated to confirm the convergence behavior of local as well as global character of the proposed and existing methods viewed through the basins of attraction.
