Local \(C^r\) stability for iterative roots of orientation-preserving self-mappings on the interval (Q2336686)

Summary: Stability of iterative roots is important in their numerical computation. It is known that under some conditions iterative roots of orientation-preserving self-mappings are both globally \(C^0\) stable and locally \(C^1\) stable but globally \(C^1\) unstable. Although the global \(C^1\) instability implies the general global \(C^r\) (\(r \geq 2\)) instability, the local \(C^1\) stability does not guarantee the local \(C^r\) (\(r \geq 2\)) stability. In this paper we generally prove the local \(C^r\) (\(r \geq 2\)) stability for iterative roots. For this purpose we need a uniform estimate for the approximation to the conjugation in \(C^r\) linearization, which is given by improving the method used for the \(C^1\) case.
