Resumen
In this paper we present some techniques for constructing high-order iterative methods in order to approximate the zeros of a non-linear equation f(x)=0, starting from a well-known family of cubic iterative processes. The first technique is based on an additional functional evaluation that allows us to increase the order of convergence from three to five. With the second technique, we make some changes aimed at minimizing the calculus of inverses. Finally, looking for a better efficiency, we eliminate terms that contribute to the error equation from sixth order onwards. The paper contains a comparative study of the asymptotic error constants of the methods and some theoretical and numerical examples that illustrate the given results. We also analyse the efficiency of the aforementioned methods, by showing some numerical examples with a set of test functions and by using adaptive multi-precision arithmetic in the computation. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
