The Julia set of Newton's method for multiple root (Q2369074)

The authors extend the works of \textit{W. J. Gilbert} [Comput. Math. Appl. 22, No. 10, 115--119 (1991; Zbl 0753.65039)], \textit{H. O. Peitgen}, \textit{D. Saupe} and \textit{F. v. Haeseler} [Math. Intell. 6, No. 2, 11--20 (1984; Zbl 0549.68101)], and they construct and research the Julia set of Newton's method for multiple roots. Through the experimental mathematics method the authors prove that the Julia sets of the above methods for \(f(z) = z^a(z^b-1)\) has \(b\) time rotation symmetry and its center is the origin. Furthermore, the multiple roots domain of attraction of these kinds of Julia sets are sensitive to \(a\). On the other side, it is shown that there is not a simple root domain of attraction in the relax method, because \(z*\), the root of \(f(z)\), is a neutral or repelling fixed point of \(F(z)\). Additionally, it is proved that \(\infty\) is not a fixed point of \(F(z)\), so the multiple root's Julia set consists of a great number of attraction domains of multiple and simple roots. Finally, the authors conclude that the experimental errors and truncation of coefficients cause the minimal effect to multiple roots, the more to the relax, the maximal to the standard Newton's method.
