Many derivative-root circles conjecture for Newton basins
Let be a degree- univariate complex polynomial. Let its DR-circles be the circles centered at the roots of with radii , where
For each root of , consider its basin of fast convergence under Newton's method. Many derivative-root circles conjecture. There exist universal constants and such that at least DR-circles contain segments of length radians lying in the union of the basins of fast convergence of the roots of . This would strengthen the algorithmic usefulness of the DR-circles by asserting that a linear number of them contain constant-sized useful segments. The supplied material gives no resolution status.
