<abstract><p>In this paper, the semi-local convergence of the Cordero's sixth-order iterative method in Banach space was proved by the method of recursion relation. In the process of proving, the auxiliary sequence and three increasing scalar functions can be derived using Lipschitz conditions on the first-order derivatives. By using the properties of auxiliary sequence and scalar function, it was proved that the iterative sequence obtained by the iterative method was a Cauchy sequence, then the convergence radius was obtained and its uniqueness was proven. Compared with Cordero's process of proving convergence, this paper does not need to ensure that $ \mathcal{G}(s) $ is continuously differentiable in higher order, and only the first-order Fréchet derivative was used to prove semi-local convergence. Finally, the numerical results showed that the recursion relationship is reasonable.</p></abstract>
