Abstract:
This article discusses the new fourth-order optimal method which is a family of
Chebyshev-Halley type method to solve nonlinear equations. This free from second-
order derivative method is derived by modifying the Chebyshev-Halley method using
arithmetic, contraharmonic and centroidal mean. Computational process requires
two functions and one rst-derivative function evaluations with e ciency indexes
are 1.587. Furthermore, the computational tests show that the proposed method
converges is faster than the Newton's, Chebyshev's, Halley's and King's methods.
