AbstractIn this article, we construct a family of iterative methods for finding a single root of nonlinear equation and then generalize this family of iterative methods for determining all roots of nonlinear equations simultaneously. Further we extend this family of root estimating methods for solving a system of nonlinear equations. Convergence analysis shows that the order of convergence is 3 in case of the single root finding method as well as for the system of nonlinear equations and is 5

... r simultaneous determination of all distinct and multiple roots of a nonlinear equation. The computational cost, basin of attraction, efficiency, log of residual and numerical test examples show that the newly constructed methods are more efficient as compared to the existing methods in literature.
