A family of eight-order interval methods for computing rigorous bounds to the solution to nonlinear equations

One of the major problems in applied mathematics and engineering sciences is solving nonlinear equations. In this paper, a family of eight-order interval methods for computing rigorous bounds on the simple zeros of nonlinear equations is presented. We present the convergence and er-ror analysis of the introduced methods. Also, the introduced methods are compared with the well-known interval Newton method and interval Ostrowski-type methods. Finally, we propose a technique based on the combination of the newly introduced approach with the extended interval arithmetic to find all of the roots of a nonlinear equation that are located in an initial interval.
