The key idea in deriving this procedure is to compose a given iterative method with a modified Newton’s method that introduces just one evaluation of the function. To carry out this procedure some classical methods with different orders of convergence are used to obtain root-finders with higher efficiency index.

Most important, an adaptive multi-precision arithmetics is used hereof, where in each step the length of the mantissa is defined independently of the knowledge of the root. Furthermore, generalizations of the one dimensional case to m-dimensions of three approximations of computational order of convergence are defined. Examples illustrating the previous results are given.
