Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Iterative methods are among the most powerful tools for solving various kinds of complex symmetric linear and nonlinear problems in mathematics and the other sciences. They play an important role in fixed point theory and many branches of mathematics. Iterative methods keep getting more and more attractive because of their easy computer implementations and vast applicability.

This Special Issue is an advanced forum for high-value scientific studies on iterative methods and their applications. In particular, works on fixed point theory and other areas of mathematics that use iterative techniques are welcome.

A limited number of expository and survey articles will also be published.

In this paper, we present an iterative method based on the well-known Ulm’s method to numerically solve Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. We support our strategy in the symmetry between two well-known problems in Numerical Analysis: the solution of linear integral equations and the approximation of inverse operators. In this way, we obtain a two-folded algorithm that allows us to approximate, with quadratic order of convergence, the solution of the integral equation as well as the inverses at the solution of the derivative of the operator related to the problem. We have studied the semilocal convergence of the method and we have obtained the expression of the method in a particular case, given by some adequate initial choices. The theoretical results are illustrated with two applications to integral equations, given by symmetric non-separable kernels. Full article

Some Kurchatov-type accelerating parameters are used to construct some derivative-free iterative methods with memory for solving nonlinear systems. New iterative methods are developed from an initial scheme without memory with order of convergence three. New methods have the convergence order 2+54.236 and 5, respectively. The application of new methods can solve standard nonlinear systems and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in numerical experiments. Numerical results support the theoretical results.

A general optimal iterative method, for approximating the solution of nonlinear equations, of (n+1) steps with 2n+1 order of convergence is presented. Cases n=0 and n=1 correspond to Newton’s and Ostrowski’s schemes, respectively. The basins of attraction of the proposed schemes on different test functions are analyzed and compared with the corresponding to other known methods. The dynamical planes showing the different symmetries of the basins of attraction of new and known methods are presented. The performance of different methods on some test functions is shown.

In this work, two broad classes of iteration functions in n-dimensional vector spaces are introduced. They are called iteration functions of the first and second kind at a fixed point of the corresponding iteration function. Two general local convergence theorems are presented for Picard-type iterative methods with high Q-order of convergence. In particular, it is shown that if an iterative method is generated by an iteration function of first or second kind, then it is Q-convergent under each initial approximation that is sufficiently close to the fixed point. As an application, a detailed local convergence analysis of two fourth-order iterative methods is provided for finding all zeros of a polynomial simultaneously. The new results improve the previous ones for these methods in several directions. Full article

We introduce a gradient iterative scheme with an optimal convergent factor for solving a generalized Sylvester matrix equation i=1pAiXBi=F, where Ai,Bi and F are conformable rectangular matrices. The iterative scheme is derived from the gradients of the squared norm-errors of the associated subsystems for the equation. The convergence analysis reveals that the sequence of approximated solutions converge to the exact solution for any initial value if and only if the convergent factor is chosen properly in terms of the spectral radius of the associated iteration matrix. We also discuss the convergent rate and error estimations. Moreover, we determine the fastest convergent factor so that the associated iteration matrix has the smallest spectral radius. Furthermore, we provide numerical examples to illustrate the capability and efficiency of this method. Finally, we apply the proposed scheme to discretized equations for boundary value problems involving convection and diffusion. Full article
