Abstract

We study the convergence of the Krasnoselskii sequence $x_{n+1}=\frac{x_n+g(x_n)}{2}$ for non-self mappings on closed intervals. We show that if $g$ satisfies $g^{'}\ge -1$ along with some other conditions, this sequence converges to a fixed point of $g$. We extend this fixed-point result to a novel and efficient root-finding method. We present concrete examples at the end. In these examples, we make a comparison between Newton-Raphson and our method. These examples also reveal how our method can be applied efficiently to find the fixed points of a real-valued function.
