Simplicity of the roots generated by the Newton sequence

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Yn,m(t)Y_{n,m}(t) be the sequence of functions used to generate the approximations, and define

yn=lim⁡m→∞Yn,m(t).y_n=\lim_{m\rightarrow\infty}Y_{n,m}(t).

The roots generated by this sequence are the zeros yny_n of the corresponding function. Simplicity conjecture. The roots generated by the sequence yn=lim⁡m→∞Yn,m(t)y_n=\lim_{m\rightarrow\infty}Y_{n,m}(t) are simple. The surrounding discussion relates simplicity to super-attractive fixed points of the Newton map, but no resolution of this conjecture is supplied.
