In this paper we study the dynamics of Halley's and Traub's root-finding algorithms applied to a symmetric family of polynomials of degree $d+1\geq 3$. We discuss the (un)boundedness and simple connectivity of the immediate basins of…

Let $p$ be a normalized (monic and centered) quartic polynomial with non-trivial symmetry groups. It is already known that if $p$ is unicritical, with only two distinct roots with the same multiplicity or having a root at the origin then…

We study the Chebyshev-Halley family of root finding algorithms from the point of view of holomorphic dynamics. Numerical experiments show that the speed of convergence to the roots may be slower when the basins of attraction are not simply…

Given a polynomial $p$, the degree of its Chebyshev's method $C_p$ is determined. If $p$ is cubic then the degree of $C_p$ is found to be $4,6$ or $7$ and we investigate the dynamics of $C_p$ in these cases. If a cubic polynomial $p$ is…

We investigate the dynamics of semigroups generated by a family of polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere such that the postcritical set in the complex plane is bounded. The Julia set of such a semigroup may not be connected in general. We…

We study the dynamics of polynomial maps on the boundary of the central hyperbolic component $\mathcal H_d$. We prove the local connectivity of Julia sets and a rigidity theorem for maps on the regular part of $\partial\mathcal H_d$. Our…

Let $P$ be a polynomial with a connected Julia set $J$. We use continuum theory to show that it admits a \emph{finest monotone map $\ph$ onto a locally connected continuum $J_{\sim_P}$}, i.e. a monotone map $\ph:J\to J_{\sim_P}$ such that…

The theory of polynomial-like maps is of fundamental importance in holomorphic dynamics. We study dynamical properties of a larger class of maps. Our main result is that, under some natural conditions, a map of this class has a completely…

Relaxed Newton's method is a one-parameter family of root-finding methods that generalizes the classical Newton's method. When viewed as a rational map on the Riemann sphere, this family exhibits rich and subtle global dynamics that depend…

Many authors have studied the dynamics of hyperbolic transcendental entire functions; these are those for which the postsingular set is a compact subset of the Fatou set. Equivalenty, they are characterized as being expanding.…

We prove P. Alexandersson's conjecture that for every complex polynomial $p$ of degree $d \geq 2$ the convex hull $H_p$ of the Julia set $J_p$ of $p$ satisfies $p^{-1}(H_p) \subset H_p$. We further prove that the equality $p^{-1}(H_p) =…

We discuss the dynamic and structural properties of polynomial semigroups, a natural extension of iteration theory to random (walk) dynamics, where the semigroup $G$ of complex polynomials (under the operation of composition of functions)…

The set of all holomorphic Euclidean isometries preserving the Julia set of a rational map $R$ is denoted by $\Sigma R$. It is shown in this article that if a root-finding method $F$ satisfies the Scaling theorem, i.e., for a polynomial…

In this paper we give a unified proof of the fact that the Julia set of Newton's method applied to a holomorphic function of the complex plane (a polynomial of degree large than $1$ or an entire transcendental function) is connected. The…

We investigate the dynamics of semigroups generated by a family of polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere such that the postcritical set in the complex plane is bounded. Moreover, we investigate the associated random dynamics of polynomials.…

We study the Cebyshev-Halley methods applied to the family of polynomials $f_{n,c}(z)=z^n+c$, for $n\ge 2$ and $c\in \mathbb{C}^{*}$. We prove the existence of parameters such that the immediate basins of attraction corresponding to the…

The purpose of this paper is to initiate a theory concerning the dynamics of asymptotically holomorphic polynomial-like maps. Our maps arise naturally as deep renormalizations of asymptotically holomorphic extensions of $C^r$ ($r>3$)…

In this paper, the dynamics of the Chebyshev-Halley family is studied on quadratic polynomials. A singular set, that we call cat set, appears in the parameter space associated to the family. This cat set has interesting similarities with…

We study polynomials with coefficients in a field L as dynamical systems where L is any algebraically closed and complete ultrametric field with dense valuation group and characteristic zero residual field. We give a complete description of…

For a probability measure with compact and non-polar support in the complex plane we relate dynamical properties of the associated sequence of orthogonal polynomials $\{P_n\}$ to properties of the support. More precisely we relate the Julia…
