This paper deals with a new numerical iterative method for finding the approximate solutions associated with both scalar and vector nonlinear equations. The iterative method proposed here is an extended version of the numerical procedure originally developed in previous works. The present study proposes to show that this new root-finding algorithm combined with a stationary-type iterative method (e.g., Gauss-Seidel or Jacobi) is able to provide a longer accurate solution than classical Newton-Raphson method. A numerical analysis of the developed iterative method is addressed and discussed on some specific equations and systems.
Solving both nonlinear equations and systems is a situation very often encountered in various fields of formal or physical sciences. For instance, solid mechanics is a branch of physics where the resolution of problems governed by nonlinear equations and systems occurs frequently [

In order to solve a system of nonlinear equations, any RFA can be used if it is combined with a SIP (i.e., Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel) [ in the case of Jacobi procedure: in the case of Gauss-Seidel procedure:

The present work concerns a new numerical iterative method for approximating the solutions of both scalar and vector nonlinear equations. Based on an iterative procedure previously developed in a study, we propose here an extended form of this numerical algorithm including the use of a stationary-type iterative procedure in order to solve systems of nonlinear equations. A predictive numerical analysis associated with this proposed method for providing a more accurate approximate solution in regard to nonlinear equations and systems is tested, assessed and discussed on some specific examples.
