We present a new method for the computation of the solutions of nonlinear equations when it is necessary to use high precision. We improve the Euler-Chebyshev iterative method which is a generalization of an improvement of Newton's method. A symbolic computation allows us to find the best coefficients respect to the local order of convergence. The adaptation of the strategy presented here gives an additional iteration function with an additional evaluation of the function. It provides a lower cost if we use adaptive multiprecision arithmetics. The numerical results computed using this system, with a floating point representing a maximum of 210 decimal digits, support this theory. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
