Abstract
The application of fractional calculus for solving nonlinear equations through iterative techniques is an emerging area of research. In recent times, several Newton-type methods have been proposed which particularly utilize the concept of fractional order derivatives. However, convergence of such methods essentially require the existence of at least first order derivative. Accordingly, in the case where derivative is not feasible to obtain, the derivative-free methods are of much significance. In this paper, a fractional Traub-Steffensen-type method is developed, the formulation of which is based on the idea of conformable fractional derivatives of order \(\alpha \in (0,1]\). In addition, the scheme is extended to its multi-dimensional case to solve the systems of equations. The proposed derivative-free scheme is further investigated for its dynamical aspects and convergence characteristics by varying the value of \(\alpha \) in given range. In this concern, the convergence planes are presented in a well-defined region which in general provide the fundamental information about the stability of given method. Furthermore, the numerical performance is analyzed by locating the solutions of variety of nonlinear equations, including some applied problems.
