Abstract

In this paper, we present some variants of Cauchy's method for solving non-linear equations. Analysis of convergence shows that the methods have fourth-order convergence. Per iteration the new methods cost almost the same as Cauchy's method. Numerical results show that the methods can compete with Cauchy's method.
