Bifurcations along the Boundary Curves of Red Fixed Components in the Parameter Space for Uniparametric, Jarratt-Type Simple-Root Finders

Abstract

Bifurcations have been studied with an extensive analysis of boundary curves of red, fixed components in the parametric space for a uniparametric family of simple-root finders under the Möbius conjugacy map applied to a quadratic polynomial. An elementary approach from the perspective of a plane curve theory properly describes the geometric figures resembling a circle or cardioid to characterize the underlying boundary curves that are parametrically expressed. Moreover, exact bifurcation points for satellite components on the boundaries have been found, according to the fact that the tangent line at a bifurcation point simultaneously touches the red fixed component and the satellite component. Computational experiments implemented with examples well reflect the significance of the theoretical backgrounds pursued in this paper.
