Resumen

A generalized k-step iterative method from Steffensen's method with frozen divided difference operator for solving a system of nonlinear equations is studied and the maximum computational efficiency is computed. Moreover, a sequence that approximates the order of convergence is generated for the examples and it confirms in a numerical way that the order of the method and the computational efficiency are both well deduced. By using a technique based on recurrence relations, the semilocal convergence of the family is studied. Finally, some numerical experiments related to the approximation of nonlinear elliptic equations are reported. A comparison with other derivative-free families of iterative methods is carried out. © 2017 by De Gruyter.
