%0 Journal Article %T NEW NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZATION OF NON-LINEAR FUNCTIONS %A K. Karthikeyan %A SK. Khadar Babu %A B. Rajesh Anand %J International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering %D 2011 %I Engg Journals Publications %X In this paper, we propose few new algorithms of third order convergence for minimization of nonlinear functions which is based on geometric construction of iteration functions of order three to develop cubicallyconvergent iterative methods. Then comparative study among the new lgorithms and Newton¡¯s algorithm is established by means of examples. %K Nonlinear functions %K Minimization %K Newton¡¯s method %K Third order of convergence %U http://www.enggjournals.com/ijcse/doc/IJCSE11-03-01-013.pdf
