A Study of Ostrowski Efficiency for Composite Iteration Algorithms.

Abstract

The following question is investigated: It is possible for the function composition of Hermite interpolatory iteration algorithms to result in an increase in the Ostrowski efficiency. A detailed investigation is carried out to discover those cases when the answer is yes. Several interesting, new algorithms are uncovered. Each has a theoretical efficiency greater than that of either the secant method or of Newton's method. (Author)
