A high-order algorithm for solving nonlinear algebraic equations

A fourth-order and rapid numerical algorithm, utilizing a procedure as Runge–Kutta methods, is derived for solving nonlinear equations. The method proposed in this article has the advantage that it, requiring no calculation of higher derivatives, is faster than the other methods with the same order of convergence. The numerical results obtained using the developed approach are compared to those obtained using some existing iterative methods, and they demonstrate the efficiency of the present approach.
