Semi-Local Convergence of Two Derivative-Free Methods of Order Six for Solving Equations under the Same Conditions.

We propose the semi-local convergence of two derivative-free, competing methods of order six to address non-linear equations. The sufficient convergence criteria are the same, making a direct comparison between them possible. The existing convergence technique uses the standard Taylor series approach, which requires derivatives up to order seven. The novelty and originality of our work lies in the fact that in contrast to previous research works, our convergence theorems only demand the first derivative. In addition, formulas for determining the region of uniqueness for solution, convergence radii, and error estimations are suggested. Such results cannot be found in works relying on the seventh derivatives. As a consequence, we are able to broaden the utility of these productive methods. The confirmation of our convergence findings through application problems brings this research to a close. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
