AB - A five-point thirty-two convergence order derivative-free iterative method to find simple roots of non-linear equations is constructed. Six function evaluations are performed to achieve optimal convergence order 26-1 = 32 conjectured by Kung and Traub [1]. Secant approximation to the derivative is computed around the initial guess. High order convergence is attained by constructing polynomials of quotients for functional values.
