【Abstract】 In this paper, a modified Secant method with global convergence is proposed by means of the theory of Liapunov Stability. Quite a number of numerical testsshow that the modified secant method is a very efficient algorithem for solving nonlinearequation.We consider nonlinear equationWithout losing generality, it is assumed that the equation (1) has unique solutioin xin [a,b], f(x)∈C’[a,b], f’(x) ≠0.It is easy to see that the solution x* of equation (1) in [a,b] is equivalent to uniqueminimal point of the fllowing function To find the solution x* of equation (1). we introduce an autonomous system of ordinary differential equation It is clear that the solution x of equation is an equilibrium point of equation (3).Therefore where x(t,x0) is an integral curve of initial value problem (3)-(4).It is obvious that the different numerical methods that are used to find the initial valueproblem (3)-(4) will derive different methods that are used to find the solution of equation(1). For example, if we use Euler method, then we have current formulacorresponding to (6), withand hn=μ,we obtain the modified secant method更多还原
