A Modified Secant Method for Solving Nonlinear Equations
Abstract
In this research, we propose a modification of the Classical Secant method for solving nonlinear equations in the form of. The Divided Difference is applied into the Secant method and now the iterative algorithm depended on two initial points. We conduct numerical simulations to compare our modified method with Newton and the original one, in which the number of iterations, the computational order of convergence (COC) and graphs of relative error of each are implemented. There are three test functions i.e., ,and . The numerical results show that the modified method have the number of iteration and the rate of convergence similar to Newton method.
