By incorporating four self-accelerating parameters and a weight function in a single variable, we extend the proposed family to an efficient iterative scheme with memory. Without performing additional functional evaluations, the order of convergence is boosted from 8 to 15.51560, and the efficiency index is raised from 1.6817 to 1.9847. To compare the performance of the proposed and existing schemes, some real-world problems are selected, such as the eigenvalue problem, continuous stirred-tank reactor problem, and energy distribution for Planck\u2019s radiation. The stability and regions of convergence of the proposed iterative schemes are investigated through graphical tools, such as 2D symmetric basins of attractions for the case of memory-based schemes and 3D stereographic projections in the case of schemes without memory. The stability analysis demonstrates that our newly developed schemes have wider symmetric regions of convergence than the existing schemes in their respective domains.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15051116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,19]],"date-time":"2023-05-19T09:23:10Z","timestamp":1684488190000},"page":"1116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Extension of King\u2019s Iterative Scheme by Means of Memory for Nonlinear Equations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Saima","family":"Akram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Government College Women University Faisalabad, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan"},{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bahauddin Zakariya, Multan 60000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6135-2734","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maira","family":"Khalid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bahauddin Zakariya, Multan 60000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1251-1532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moin-ud-Din","family":"Junjua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Ghazi University, Dera Ghazi Khan 32200, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Shazia","family":"Altaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Institute of Southern Punjab, Multan 60800, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8471-5139","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunil","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, University Centre for Research and Development, Chandigarh University, Mohali 140413, India"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Traub, J.F.
