On the basins of attraction of a one-dimensional family of root finding algorithms: from Newton to Traub

In this paper we study the dynamics of damped Traub’s methods Tδ when applied to polynomials. The family of damped Traub’s methods consists of root finding algorithms which contain both Newton’s (δ= 0) and Traub’s method (δ= 1). Our goal is to obtain several topological properties of the basins of a...

Description
Summary:In this paper we study the dynamics of damped Traub’s methods Tδ when applied to polynomials. The family of damped Traub’s methods consists of root finding algorithms which contain both Newton’s (δ= 0) and Traub’s method (δ= 1). Our goal is to obtain several topological properties of the basins of attraction of the roots of a polynomial p under T1, which are used to determine a (universal) set of initial conditions for which convergence to all roots of p can be guaranteed. We also numerically explore the global properties of the dynamical plane for Tδ to better understand the connection between Newton’s method and Traub’s method. © 2023, The Author(s).
