Abstract

In this work, we modify the iterative Kurchatov's method to solve nonlinear equations with multiple roots, that is,for approximating the solutions of multiplicity grater than one. Its main feature is that you do not need to know a priori the multiplicity of the root, which does not appear in the iterative expression. We perform a dynamical analysis to see the behaviour of the proposed method. We also carry out some numerical experiments to confirm the theoretical results and compare the proposed method with other known schemes for multiple roots.
