ABSTRACT: In this paper, we construct new classes of derivative-free of tenth-order iterative methods for
solving nonlinear equations. The new methods of tenth-order convergence derived by combining of
theSteffensen's method, the Kung and Traub’s of optimal fourth-order and the Al-Subaihi's method. Several
examples to compare of other existing methods and the results of new iterative methods are given the
encouraging results and have definite practical utility.
Keywords: nonlinear equations, iterative methods, tenth-order, derivative-free, order of convergence.
I. INTRODUCTION
The nonlinear equation is one of the most and oldest problems in scientific and engineering
applications, so the researchers have beenlooking for optimization of solution for this problem.
For solving the nonlinear equation 𝑓(𝛾) = 0, where 𝑓: 𝐼 ⊆ ℝ → ℝbe a scalar function on an open interval𝐼,
and𝛾is a simple root of 𝑓(𝑥).The famous iterative method of optimal quadratic convergence to solve the
nonlinear equation is Newton’s method (NM).
𝑥 𝑛+1 = 𝑥 𝑛 −
𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
𝑓′ 𝑥 𝑛
. (1)
The optimal conjectureis2 𝑛
, where 𝑛 + 1 is the number of function evaluation [1].We can define the
efficiency index as 𝛿
1
𝛼, such that 𝛿 be the order of the method and 𝛼 is the total number of functions
evaluations per iteration [2,3]. The Newton's method have been modified by Steffensenby approximating𝑓′
𝑥 𝑛
by forward difference, to get the famous Steffensen's method (SM) [4]
𝑥 𝑛+1 = 𝑥 𝑛 −
𝑓(𝑥 𝑛 )2
𝑓(𝑥 𝑛 +𝑓(𝑥 𝑛 ))−𝑓(𝑥 𝑛 )
. (2)
Which has same optimal order of convergence asNewton's method (NM), the efficiency index of both
method (1) and (2) are EI = 2

2 ≈ 1.4142.
In this paper some iterative methods are constructedto develop new derivative-free iterative methods
usingtheSteffensen's method, the Kung-Traub [1] and the Al-Subaihi's method [5].
A three- point of eighth-order convergence is constructed by Kung-Traub(KTM) [1].

II. DESCREPTION OF THE METHODS
In this section a new iterative families of higher-order with derivative-free are described. The
construction depend on the Steffensen's, (2), theKung and Traub’s, (4), and the Al-Subaihi's methods, (5).
Approximation of 𝑓′
(𝑥 𝑛 ) by
𝑓′
𝑥 𝑛 ≈
𝑓(𝑥 𝑛 +𝑓 𝑥 𝑛 )−𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
, (6)
and substituting in Newton's method (NM), (1), gives Steffensen's method (SM), (2), which is convergence
quadratically and derivative-free.
Let 𝐺𝑛 = 𝑥 𝑛 + 𝑓(𝑥 𝑛 )3
[6]. UsingtheSteffensen's method of order two and the second step of the Kung and
Traub’s method of order fourth, (3), and substituting them in Al-Subaihi's method, (5), we have:
𝑦𝑛 = 𝑥 𝑛 −
𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
𝑓 𝐺 𝑛 ,𝑥 𝑛

𝑧 𝑛 = 𝑦𝑛 −

𝑓 𝑧 𝑛 −
𝑓 𝑧 𝑛
𝑓′ 𝑦 𝑛
𝑓′ 𝑦 𝑛
. (7)
Using the approximation (see for example [7])
𝑓′
𝑦𝑛 = 2𝑓 𝑦𝑛 , 𝑥 𝑛 − 𝑓 𝐺𝑛 , 𝑥 𝑛 , (8)
where:
𝑓 𝐺𝑛 , 𝑥 𝑛 =
𝑓 𝐺 𝑛 −𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
𝐺 𝑛 −𝑥 𝑛
, (9)
𝑓 𝐺𝑛 , 𝑦𝑛 =
𝑓 𝐺 𝑛 −𝑓 𝑦 𝑛
𝐺 𝑛 −𝑦 𝑛
, (10)
𝑓 𝑦𝑛 , 𝑥 𝑛 =
𝑓 𝑦 𝑛 −𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
𝑦 𝑛 −𝑥 𝑛
. (11)
Substitute (8) into equation (7), to obtain a new class of methods (YSM)
𝑦𝑛 = 𝑥 𝑛 −
𝑓 𝑥 𝑛
𝑓 𝐺 𝑛 ,𝑥 𝑛

𝑧 𝑛 = 𝑦𝑛 −

the new iterative method (14) is of order tenth with derivative free, and five functions evaluations, so the
efficiency index (EI) = 10

IV. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have presented a new families of tenth-order derivative-free methods for solving
nonlinear equations. New scheme of methods containing three steps and five functions, one of them is weighted
function.Although the new families are not optimal methods, but it is efficiency index is better than the
Steffensen’smethod,Malik's, Al-Fahid's and Fayyaz's methods and equal to the efficiency index of tenth-order of
Hafiz's method and no derivative need. Finally, Table2 comparing the other methods using a lot of numerical
examples to explain the convergence of the new methods.
