On Constructing a Family of Sixth-Order Methods for Multiple Roots

Abstract

A family of three-point, sixth-order, multiple-zero solvers is developed, and special cases of weight functions are investigated based on polynomials and low-order rational functions. The chosen cases of the proposed iterative method are compared with existing methods. The experiments show the superiority of the proposed schemes in terms of the number of divergent points and the average number of function evaluations per point. The dynamical characteristics of the developed methods, along with their illustrations, are represented with detailed analyses, comparisons, and comments.
