A comparison between iterative methods by using the basins of attraction

摘要

There exists a real competition between authors to construct improved iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations. In this paper, by using computer experiment, we study the basins of attraction for some of the iterative methods for solving the equation P(z) = 0, where P:C→C is a complex coefficients polynomial, and this allows us to compare their performances (the area of convergence and theirs speed). The beauty fractal pictures generated by these methods are presented too.
