Abstract

In this paper, we present six new fourth-order methods with closed formulae for finding multiple roots of nonlinear equations. The first four of them require one-function and three-derivative evaluation per iteration. The last two require one-function and two-derivative evaluation per iteration. Several numerical examples are given to show the performance of the presented methods compared with some known methods.
