A Triparametric Family of Optimal Fourth-Order Multiple-Root Finders and Their Dynamics

Abstract EN

We investigate the complex dynamics of a triparametric family of optimal fourth-order multiple-root solvers by analyzing their basins of attraction along with extensive study of Möbius conjugacy maps and extraneous fixed points applied to a prototype quadratic polynomial raised to the power of the known integer multiplicity m .

A 600 × 600 uniform grid centered at the origin covering 6 × 6 square region is chosen to display the initial points on each basin of attraction according to a coloring scheme based on their orbit behavior.

With illustrative basins of attractions applied to various test polynomials and the corresponding statistical data for convergence as well as a number of comparisons made among the listed methods, we confirm our investigation and analysis developed in this paper.
