IMPROVED CONVERGENCE OF STEFFENSEN'S METHOD FOR APPROXIMATING FIXED POINTS OF OPERATORS IN BANACH SPACE

We present a new local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for Steffensen's method in order to locate fixed points of operators on a Banach space setting. Using more precise majorizing sequences we show under the same or less computational cost that our convergence criteria can be weaker than in earlier studies such as [1-13], [21, 22]. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
