A triparametric family of optimal fourth-order multiple-root finders and their dynamics (Q2314736)

Summary: 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 \(600 \times 600\) uniform grid centered at the origin covering \(6 \times 6\) 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.
