A new three step derivative free method using weight function for numerical solution of non-linear equations arises in application problems

Abstract

Abstract In this paper a three-step numerical method, using weight function, has been derived for finding the root of non-linear equations. The proposed method possesses the accuracy of order eight with four functional evaluations.The efficiency index of the derived scheme is 1.682. Numerical examples, application problems are used to demonstrate the performance of the presented schemes and compare them to other available methods in the literature of the same order. Matlab, Mathematica 2021 & Maple 2021 software were used for numerical results.
