The approach starts from the classical Newton method and replaces the first-order derivative by finite difference approximation depending on a parameter.By appropriately selecting the parameter, methods with desired convergence orders are generated.}, reviewer = {Liu Xinguo (Qingdao)}, identifier = {05968801}, }
