Fractional Newton-Raphson Method Accelerated with Aitken's Method (1804.08445v5)

Abstract: In the following document, we present a way to obtain the order of convergence of the Fractional Newton-Raphson (F N-R) method, which seems to have an order of convergence at least linearly for the case in which the order $\alpha$ of the derivative is different from one. A simplified way of constructing the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional operators, fractional integral and fractional derivative, is presented along with examples of its application on different functions. Furthermore, an introduction to the Aitken's method is made and it is explained why it has the ability to accelerate the convergence of the iterative methods, to finally present the results that were obtained when implementing the Aitken's method in the F N-R method.
