In this paper, we develop a new eighth-order method for simple roots of non- linear equations via weight function and interpolation methods. The method requires only three(3) function evaluation and a derivative evaluation with 81/4 ≈ 1.682 efficiency index . Numerical comparison between the proposed method with some other methods were presented, which shows that our method is promising . Manuscript profile

In this paper, we proposed a three-point iterative method for finding the simple roots of non- linear equations via mid-point and interpolation approach. The method requires one evaluation of the derivative and three(3) functions evaluation with efficiency index of 81/4 ≈ 1.682. Numerical results reported here, between the proposed method with some other existing methods shows that our method is promising. Manuscript profile
