Recently, Yun [8] proposed a new three-step iterative method with the fourth-order convergence for solving nonlinear equations. By using his ideas, we develop a general form of multi-step iterative methods with higher order convergence for solving nonlinear equations, and then we study convergence analysis of the multi-step iterative methods. Lastly, some numerical experiments are given to illustrate the performance of the multi-step iterative methods.
