Abstract In this paper, we study on the local and semi-local convergence and dynamic of an iterative optimal two-step Steffensen's method. We study local convergence by using Lipschitz conditions and continuity of differentiable function F. We also obtain semi-local convergence by using majorizing sequences. By this approach, we can obtain the convergence of the method by minimum of auxiliary sequences and few initial conditions. Moreover, we analyze the stability of the method via Julia sets and parameter planes that is a novelty for Steffensen-type methods. We extend this method for obtaining the sign function of a matrix. Numerical examples are given to confirm our theoretical results.
