Abstract

This paper presents new optimal eighth-order families with weight functions for solving nonlinear systems, obtained as a generalization of the first optimal eighth-order CTT8 method introduced by Cordero, Torregrosa and Triguero-Navarro. The proposed schemes are constructed by combining a Newton-type predictor with high-order correction steps whose weight functions are suitably chosen to preserve optimal convergence while keeping a low computational cost. To the best of our knowledge, this work introduces the first family of optimal eighth-order methods for nonlinear systems, in the sense of the Cordero–Torregrosa conjecture, developed through a weight-function technique. A complete local convergence analysis is carried out under standard smoothness assumptions, proving eighth-order convergence for nondegenerate solutions. The computational efficiency of the proposed methods is also studied and compared with several existing high-order iterative schemes. Numerical experiments on nonlinear systems of different dimensions confirm the theoretical order of convergence and show the robustness of the new families. In addition, a Fredholm integral equation is solved, followed by a semilinear elliptic Dirichlet problem, further illustrating the reliability and computational performance of the proposed weight-function-based methods.
