Abstract

A second order iteration method is proposed for the simultaneous computation of a root and its multiplicity of a single nonlinear equation. This method consists essentially in a Steffenson-like acceleration of a Newton-Raphson process that depends on a parameter which is forced to converge to the multiplicity.

Zusammenfassung

Wir stellen ein Itertionsverfahren vor zur gleichzeitigen Berechnung einer Wurzel und seiner Multiplizität einer einzigen nichtlinearen Gleichung. Dieses Verfahren enthält wesentlich eine Steffenson-artige Beschleunigung eines von einem Parameter abhängigen Newton-Raphson-Prozesses, wobei dieser Parameter zwangsmäßig zur Multiplizität konvergiert.
