The family of fourth-order Steffensen-type methods proposed by Zheng et al. (Appl. Math. Comput. 217, 9592–9597 (2011)) is extended to solve systems of nonlinear equations. This extension uses multidimensional divided differences of first and second orders. For a certain computational efficiency index, two optimal methods are identified in the family. Semilocal convergence is shown for one of these optimal methods under mild conditions. Moreover, a numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical results.
