TL;DR: In this paper, a complex dynamical analysis of the parametric fourth-order Kim's iterative family on quadratic polynomials is made, showing the MATLAB codes generated to draw the fractal images necessary to complete the study.
Abstract: The complex dynamical analysis of the parametric fourth-order Kim's iterative family is made on quadratic polynomials, showing the MATLAB codes generated to draw the fractal images necessary to complete the study. The parameter spaces associated with the free critical points have been analyzed, showing the stable (and unstable) regions where the selection of the parameter will provide us the excellent schemes (or dreadful ones).

TL;DR: The analysis of the parameter space allows us to find elements of the King's family of iterative schemes for solving nonlinear equations that have bad convergence properties, and also other ones with stable behavior.

TL;DR: This work shows a general procedure to obtain optimal derivative free iterative methods (Kung and Traub (1974) for nonlinear equations f ( x ) = 0) by applying polynomial interpolation to a generic optimal derivativefree iterative method of lower order and applies this idea to Steffensen's method.

TL;DR: The classical King's family of fourth-order schemes is obtained as an special case and the conjugacy classes and dynamics of some of the presented methods for complex polynomials of different degrees are described.
Abstract: In this paper, a family of new fourth-order optimal iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations is proposed. The classical King's family of fourth-order schemes is obtained as an special case. We also present results for describing the conjugacy classes and dynamics of some of the presented methods for complex polynomials of different degrees.

TL;DR: The parameter space associated to the parametric family of Chebyshev-Halley on quadratic polynomials shows a dynamical richness worthy of study as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The parameter space associated to the parametric family of Chebyshev-Halley on quadratic polynomials shows a dynamical richness worthy of study. This analysis has been initiated by the authors in previous works. Every value of the parameter belonging to the same connected component of the parameter space gives rise to similar dynamical behavior. In this paper, we focus on the search of regions in the parameter space that gives rise to the appearance of attractive orbits of period two.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is obtained that this family of Chebyshev–Halley schemes admits attractive 2-cycles in two different intervals, for real values of the parameter.
Abstract: The choice of a member of a parametric family of iterative methods is not always easy. The family of Chebyshev–Halley schemes is a good example of it. The analysis of bifurcation points of this family allows us to define a real interval in which there exist several problematic behaviours: attracting points that become doubled, other ones that become periodic orbits, etc. These aspects should be avoided in an iterative procedure, so it is important to determine the regions where this conduct takes place. In this paper, we obtain that this family admits attractive 2-cycles in two different intervals, for real values of the parameter.

TL;DR: In this article, a modified classical method for preliminary orbit determination is presented, where the spread of the observations is considerably wider than in the original method, as well as the order of convergence of the iterative scheme involved.
Abstract: A modified classical method for preliminary orbit determination is presented. In our proposal, the spread of the observations is considerably wider than in the original method, as well as the order of convergence of the iterative scheme involved. The numerical approach is made by using matricial weight functions, which will lead us to a class of iterative methods with a sixth local order of convergence. This is a process widely used in the design of iterative methods for solving nonlinear scalar equations, but rarely employed in vectorial cases. The numerical tests confirm the theoretical results, and the analysis of the dynamics of the problem shows the stability of the proposed schemes.

TL;DR: The method of iteration of the true anomaly is focused on, in which the secant method is replaced by more efficient methods, such as the second-order Steffensen’s method, as well as other high-order derivative-free methods.
