Abstract: This paper is devoted to the study of the seventh-order Steffensen-type methods for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. Using the idea of a restricted convergence domain, we extended the applicability of the seventh-order Steffensen-type methods. Our convergence conditions are weaker than the conditions used in the earlier studies. Numerical examples are also given in this study.

Keywords: Steffensen-type method; restricted convergence domain; radius of convergence; local convergence.
