Recurrence relations for rational cubic methods II. The Chebyshev method

We continue the analysis of rational cubic methods, initiated in [7]. In this paper, we obtain a system of a priori error bounds for the Chebyshev method in Banach spaces through a local convergence theorem that provides sufficient conditions on the initial point in order to ensure the convergence of Chebyshev iterates. The error estimates are exact for second degree polynomials. We also discuss some applications.
