Traub's basin conjecture for polynomial root-finding maps
Traub's basin conjecture for polynomial root-finding maps
Let be a polynomial of degree . Assume that , and let be the corresponding Traub's map. Denote by the basin of attraction of the root with the root itself removed. Traub's basin conjecture. The set is simply connected and unbounded. The conjecture would extend the known basin results for Newton's method to Traub's method and would help construct a set of good initial conditions for finding all roots simultaneously. Its resolution is not established in the supplied source.
