On the Order of Convergence of the Noor–Waseem Method

In 2009, Noor and Waseem studied an important third-order iterative method. The convergence order is obtained using Taylor expansion and assumptions on the derivatives of order up to four. In this paper, we have obtained convergence order three for this method using assumptions on the first and second derivatives of the involved operator. Further, we have extended the method to obtain a fifth- and a sixth-order methods. The dynamics of the methods are also provided in this study. Numerical examples are included. The same technique can be used to extend the utilization of other single or multistep methods.
