Abstract

The k-fold pseudo-Newton's method is proposed and its convergence behavior is investigated near a simple zero. The order of convergence is proven to be at least k + 2. The asymptotic error constant is explicitly given in terms of k and the corresponding simple zero. High-precison numerical results are successfully implemented via Mathematica and illustrated for various examples.
