On numerical schemes for determination of all roots simultaneously of non-linear equation

Abstract

In this article, we first construct family of two-step optimal fourth order iterative methods for finding single root of non-linear equation. We then extend these methods for determining all the distinct as well as multiple roots of single variable non-linear equation simultaneously. Convergence analysis is presented for both the cases to show that the optimal order of convergence is 4 in case of single root finding method and 6 for simultaneous determination of all distinct as well as multiple roots of a non-linear equation. The computational cost, basins of attraction, computational efficiency, log of residual fall and numerical test functions validate that the newly constructed methods are more efficient as compared to the existing methods in the literature.
