We provide sufficient conditions for the monotone convergence of a Chebysheff-Halley-type method or method of tangent hyperbolas in a partially ordered topological space setting. The famous kantorovich theorem on fixed points is used here.

Chebysheff-Halley methods are probably the best known cubically convergent iterative procedures for solving nonlinear equa-tions. These methods however require an evaluation of the second Frechet-derivative at each step which means a number of function eval-uations proportional to the cube of the dimension of the space. To re-duce the computational cost we replace the second Frechet derivative with a fixed bounded bilinear operator. Using the majorant method and Newton-Kantorovich type hypotheses we provide sufficient condi-tions for the convergence of our method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in Banach space. Our method is shown to be faster than Newton's method under the same computational cost. Finally we apply our results to solve nonlinear integral equations appearing in radiative transfer in connection with the problem of determination of the angular distribution of the radiant-flux emerging from a plane radiation field.
