On a third‐order Newton‐type method free of bilinear operators

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This paper is devoted to the study of a third‐order Newton‐type method. The method is free of bilinear operators, which constitutes the main limitation of the classical third‐order iterative schemes. First, a global convergence theorem in the real case is presented. Second, a semilocal convergence theorem and some examples are analyzed, including quadratic equations and integral equations. Finally, an approximation using divided differences is proposed and used for the approximation of boundary‐value problems.
