The pursuit of more efficient and reliable numerical methods to solve nonlinear systems of equations has long intrigued many researchers. Among these, the Broyden method has stood out since its introduction, serving as a foundational technique from which various derivative methods have evolved. These derivative methods, commonly referred to as Broyden-like iterative methods, often surpass the traditional Broyden method in terms of both the number of iterations required and the computational time needed. This study aimed to develop new Broyden-like methods by incorporating weighted combinations of different quadrature rules. Specifically, the research focused on leveraging the Composite Trapezoidal rule with n=3n=3, and comparing it against the Midpoint, Trapezoidal, and Simpson quadrature rules. By integrating these approaches, three novel methods were formulated. The findings revealed that several of these new methods demonstrated enhanced efficiency and robustness compared to their established counterparts. In a detailed comparative analysis with the classical Broyden method and other improved versions, the Midpoint–Composite Trapezoidal (MiT₃/i) method emerged as the top performer. This method consistently provided superior numerical outcomes across all benchmark problems examined in the study. The results highlight the potential of these new methods to significantly advance the field of numerical analysis, offering more powerful tools for researchers and practitioners dealing with complex nonlinear systems of equations. Through this innovative approach, the study not only broadens the understanding of Broyden-like methods but also sets the stage for further advancements in the development of efficient numerical solutions.
