, which requires only two functional evaluations at each step leaving the one f ( x 0 )

calculated initially.
Algorithm 2.1: For a given x 0 , compute the approximate solution x n 1 by the iterative scheme:
f (x n )
f ( x n* )
where x n* x n
x n 1 x

This algorithm requires only two functional evaluations at each step leaving the one derivative f ( x 0 )
calculated initially. Also, the efficiency index of the method 2 4 i.e the order of the method is four provided the
difference between f ( ) and f ( x 0 ) where ' ' the exact root of (1.1) be, is zero up to the desired accuracy
neglecting evaluation of f ( x 0 ) only once initially.
III. RATE OF CONVERGENCE OF VARIANT OF NEWTON RAPHSON METHOD
Theorem 3.1: Let D be a simple zero of the function f : D R R in an open interval D. If x 0 is in the
very vicinity of the root ' ' then the algorithm (2.1) has fourth order convergence provided

is nearly unity

V. CONCLUSION
From the above tabulated values, we conclude that the method (2.5) has an advantage of more rapid convergence
with only two functional evaluations from second iteration onwards, over the other methods discussed in this paper.
