An intriguing and unexpected result for students learning numerical analysis is that Newton's method, applied to the simple polynomial z^3 - 1 = 0 in the complex plane, leads to intricately interwoven basins of attraction of the roots. As…
We use Newton's method to find all roots of several polynomials in one complex variable of degree up to and exceeding one million and show that the method, applied to appropriately chosen starting points, can be turned into an algorithm…
We use simple equations in order to compare the basins of attraction on the complex plane, corresponding to a large collection of numerical methods, of several order. Two cases are considered, regarding the total number of the roots, which…
Newton's method is used to approximate roots of complex valued functions f by creating a sequence of points that converges to a root of f in the usual topology. For any field K equipped with a set of pairwise inequivalent absolute values…
Let f be a polynomial of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field K, let x_0 be a sufficiently general element of K, and let alpha be a root of f. We give precise conditions under which Newton iteration, started at the point…
Finding roots of equations is at the heart of most computational science. A well-known and widely used iterative algorithm is the Newton's method. However, its convergence depends heavily on the initial guess, with poor choices often…
A new variant of Newton's method - named Backtracking New Q-Newton's method (BNQN) - which has strong theoretical guarantee, is easy to implement, and has good experimental performance, was recently introduced by the third author.…
In this paper we numerically explore the convergence properties of the pseudo-Newtonian circular restricted problem of three and four primary bodies. The classical Newton-Raphson iterative scheme is used for revealing the basins of…
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…
Newton's method for polynomial root finding is one of mathematics' most well-known algorithms. The method also has its shortcomings: it is undefined at critical points, it could exhibit chaotic behavior and is only guaranteed to converge…

The Newton-Raphson basins of attraction, associated with the libration points (attractors), are revealed in the pseudo-Newtonian planar circular restricted three-body problem, where the primaries have equal masses. The parametric variation…
An iterative formula based on Newton Method alone is presented for the iterative solutions of equations that ensures convergence in cases where the traditional Newton Method may fail to converge to the desired root. In addition, the method…
It is well known that the Newton method may not converge when the initial guess does not belong to a specific quadratic convergence region. We propose a family of new variants of the Newton method with the potential advantage of having a…

In this work we numerically explore the Newton-Raphson basins of convergence, related to the equilibrium points, in the Sitnikov three-body problem with non-spherical primaries. The evolution of the position of the roots is determined, as a…
When studying the multilinear PageRank problem, a system of polynomial equations needs to be solved. In this paper, we develop convergence theory for a modified Newton method in a particular parameter regime. The sequence of vectors…
We introduce a new iterative root-finding method for complex polynomials, dubbed {\it Newton-Ellipsoid} method. It is inspired by the Ellipsoid method, a classical method in optimization, and a property of Newton's Method derived in…
We present an iterative root finding method for harmonic mappings in the complex plane, which is a generalization of Newton's method for analytic functions. The complex formulation of the method allows an analysis in a complex variables…
We investigate Newton's method as a root finder for complex polynomials of arbitrary degree. While polynomial root finding continues to be one of the fundamental tasks of computing, with essential use in all areas of theoretical…
