In this paper, we consider the semilocal convergence of a class of modified super‐Halley methods for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. The semilocal convergence of this class of methods is established by using recurrence relations. We construct a system of recurrence relations for the methods, and based on it, we prove an existence–uniqueness theorem that shows the
