On the dynamics of a third order Newton's approximation method

Abstract: We show that the third order approximation function

M_{f}

, proposed by S. Amat, S. Busquier, S. Plaza, in extit{J. Math. Anal. Appl.}, 366(2010), 24--32, for functions

f

twice continuously differentiable and such that both

f

and its derivative do not have multiple roots, with at least four roots, and infinite limits of opposite signs at

p m i n f t y

, have periodic points of any prime period and that the set of points

a

at which the approximation sequence

(M_{f}^{n} (a))_{n i n m a t h b b N}

does not converge is uncountable. In addition, we observe that in their Scaling Theorem analyticity can be replaced with differentiability.
