The existing methods for solving non-linear equations encounter convergence issues and computing constraints, especially when used in fractional-order or complex non-linear problems. This study develops a higher-order fractional technique for solving non-linear equations based on the Caputo fractional derivative. The proposed method uses a fractional framework to improve local convergence and stability while ensuring high efficiency in every iteration step. Local convergence analysis using generalized Taylor series expansion reveals that the order of the new fractional scheme for solving non-linear equations is (Formula presented.), where (Formula presented.) (0,1] represents the Caputo fractional order, determining the memory depth of the Caputo fractional derivative. The performance of the method is further investigated using a variety of non-linear problems from engineering optimization and applied sciences, such as engineering control systems, computational chemistry, thermodynamics models, and operations research, such as inventory optimization. Analyzing the key performance metrics, such as dynamical analysis, percentage convergence, residual error, and computation time, confirms the advantages of the developed method over the state-of-the-art. This study provides a solid framework for higher-order fractional iterative approaches, paving the way for advanced applications of non-linear problems.
