Abstract

In this article, we report a new iterative technique for solving nonlinear equations. We derive the technique by using traditional Secant method. It is established that the new technique has 2.732 order of convergence. Some numerical examples show that newly technique is better than well-known existing techniques. The modified technique is a promising numerical tool for tackling nonlinear equations in various applications. This gives reason to be confident in the suggested approach and offers opportunities for future work to improve it even further.
