It is worth noting that there is a growing interest in obtaining iterative methods that are totally derivative free. In this paper, we present two new three-step eighth-order classes of Steffensen-King’s type methods for solving nonlinear equations numerically. In terms of computational cost, each member of the proposed families requires only four functional evaluations per full iteration to achieve optimal eighth-order convergence. A variety of concrete numerical examples and relevant results are extensively treated to verify the underlying theoretical development. Moreover, the presented basins of attraction also confirm that our proposed methods have better stability and robustness as compared to the other existing methods.
