Convergence and efficiency of high order parallel schemes for nonlinear engineering models by Mudassir Shams, Nasreen Kausar, Ali Akgül, Joseph El Maalouf

“…A Local Convergence Theorem is used to define the domain of the convergence radius, which gives a systematic method for selecting optimal initial guesses and enhancing convergence behavior. Numerical outcomes on benchmark engineering problems reveal that the proposed methods are more efficient and stable as compared exiting method solutions, particularly in terms of residual error, error graph, computational time in seconds, percentage computational efficiency and computational cost. …”
