Abstract
We present a seventh order iterative method for solving systems of nonlinear equations. The algorithm is derivative free per full iteration. A comparison between the computational efficiencies of proposed technique and existing techniques of similar nature is made. It is shown that for large system the new method is more efficient. The performance is tested through numerical experimentation which also confirms the theoretical results.
