In this article, we explore how activation energy and varied transit parameters influence the two-dimensional stagnation point motion of nano-biofilm of Sutterby fluids incorporating gyrotactic microbes across a porous straining/shrinking sheet. Prior investigations implied that fluid viscosity as well as thermal conductance are temperature based. This research proposes that fluid viscosity, heat capacity and nanofluid attributes are all modified by solute concentration. According to some empirical research, the viscosity as well as heat conductivity of nanoparticles are highly based on the concentration of nanoparticles instead of only the temperature. The shooting approach with the RK-4 technique is applied to acquire analytical results. We contrast our outcomes with those in the existing research and examine their consistency and reliability. The graphic performance of relevant factors on heat, velocity, density and motile concentration domains are depicted and discussed. The skin friction factor, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and the motile density are determined. As the concentration-dependent properties are updated, the speed, temperature, concentration and motile density profiles are enhanced, but for all concentration-varying factors, other physical quantities deteriorate.

In this study, we present a new higher-order scheme without memory for simple zeros which has two major advantages. The first one is that each member of our scheme is derivative free and the second one is that the present scheme is capable of producing many new optimal family of eighth-order methods from every 4-order optimal derivative free scheme (available in the literature) whose first substep employs a Steffensen or a Steffensen-like method. In addition, the theoretical and computational properties of the present scheme are fully investigated along with the main theorem, which demonstrates the convergence order and asymptotic error constant. Moreover, the effectiveness of our scheme is tested on several real-life problems like Van der Waal’s, fractional transformation in a chemical reactor, chemical engineering, adiabatic flame temperature, etc. In comparison with the existing robust techniques, the iterative methods in the new family perform better in the considered test examples. The study of dynamics on the proposed iterative methods also confirms this fact via basins of attraction applied to a number of test functions.

In this paper, we present a family of three-point with eight-order convergence methods for finding the simple roots of nonlinear equations by suitable approximations and weight function based on Maheshwari’s method. Per iteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. These class of methods have the efficiency index equal to 8 1 4 ≈ 1.682 ${8^{{\textstyle{1 \over 4}}}} \approx 1.682$ . We describe the analysis of the proposed methods along with numerical experiments including comparison with the existing methods. Moreover, the attraction basins of the proposed methods are shown with some comparisons to the other existing methods.
