A fourth order method for finding a simple root of univariate function

In this paper, we describe an iterative method for approximating a simple zero $z$ of a real defined function. This method is a essentially based on the idea to extend Newton's method to be the inverse quadratic interpolation. We prove that for a sufficiently smooth function $f$ in a neighborho...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we describe an iterative method for approximating a simple zero $z$ of a real defined function. This method is a essentially based on the idea to extend Newton's method to be the inverse quadratic interpolation. We prove that for a sufficiently smooth function $f$ in a neighborhood of $z$ the order of the convergence is quartic. Using Mathematica with its high precision compatibility, we present some numerical examples to confirm the theoretical results and to compare our method with the others given in the literature.
