New two-parameter Chebyshev-Halley-like family of fourth and sixth-order methods for systems of nonlinear equations

The two-parameter Chebyshev-Halley-like family of optimal two-point fourth-order methods proposed by Babajee (2015), is further extended to solve systems of nonlinear equations. This two-step fourth-order family is further extended to obtain a two-parameter family of sixth-order methods which requires only one extra function evaluation. The performance of some special members of the proposed families using only single inverse per iteration have been tested through numerical examples and the results show that these are effective and comparable to existing methods both in order and efficiency.
