A new two-point scheme for multiple roots of nonlinear equations

In most of the earlier research for multiple zeros, in order to obtain a new iteration function from the existing scheme, the usual practice is to make no change at the first substep. In this paper, we explore the idea that what are the advantages if the flexibility of choice is also given at the first substep. Therefore, we present a new two-point sixth-order scheme for multiple roots (m>1). The main advantages of our scheme over the existing schemes are flexibility at both substeps, simple body structure, smaller residual error, smaller error difference between two consecutive iterations, and smaller asymptotic error constant. The development of the scheme is based on midpoint formula and weight functions of two variables. We compare our methods with the existing methods of the same order with real-life applications as well as standard test problems. From the numerical results, we find that our methods can be considered as better alternates for the existing methods of the same order. Finally, dynamical study of the proposed schemes is presented that confirms the theoretical results.
