An Efficient and Straightforward Numerical Technique Coupled to Classical Newton’s Method for Enhancing the Accuracy of Approximate Solutions Associated with Scalar Nonlinear Equations

Table 2

Approximate solution of scalar nonlinear equation (when guest point = 10−3) obtained by Classical Newton’s Method (CNM) (cf. Section 2.2), Classical Newton’s Method coupled with New Numerical Technique (CNM + NNT) for conditions [A1] and [A2] (cf. Section 2.3), and Third-order Modified Newton’s Method (TMNM) (cf. Section 3.1). Notations: () (resp., ()) denotes that approximate solution is provided using (21a) (resp., (21b)) in Section 2.3.1.
