The fourth-order method requires at each iteration three function evaluations, while the eighth-order methods both need four function evaluations. The proposed methods are derivative-free. Based on the conjecture of Kung and Traub, the new methods attain the optimality with efficiency index 1.587 for the fourth-order method and 1.68 for the eighth-order methods. The convergence analyses of the methods are given, and comparisons with some well-known schemes having identical order of convergence demonstrate the efficiency of the present techniques. © 2018 The Authors date: 2019 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85057957375&doi=10.1016%2fj.jksus.2018.12.001&partnerID=40&md5=a70f1e060da4974c0d21debf73e325a0 id_number: 10.1016/j.jksus.2018.12.001 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of King Saud University - Science volume: 31 number: 4 pagerange: 1499-1504 refereed: TRUE issn: 10183647 citation: Said Solaiman, O. and Abdul Karim, S.A. and Hashim, I.
