Abstract

A derivative free iterative method for approximating a solution of nonlinear least squares problems is studied first in Shakhno and Gnatyshyn (Appl Math Comput 161:253---264, 2005). The radius of convergence is determined as well as usable error estimates. We show that this method is faster than its Secant analogue examined in Shakhno and Gnatyshyn (Appl Math Comput 161:253---264, 2005). Numerical example is also provided in this paper.
