Local Convergence Study for an Iterative Scheme with a High Order of Convergence

Abstract

In this paper, we address a key issue in Numerical Functional Analysis: to perform the local convergence analysis of a fourth order of convergence iterative method in Banach spaces, examining conditions on the operator and its derivatives near the solution to ensure convergence. Moreover, this approach provides a local convergence ball, within which initial estimates lead to guaranteed convergence with details about the radii of domain of convergence and estimates on error bounds. Next, we perform a comparative study of the Computational Efficiency Index (CEI) between the analyzed scheme and some known iterative methods of fourth order of convergence. Our ultimate goal is to use these theoretical findings to address practical problems in engineering and technology.
