Comparisons between the new maps and the famous Newton-Raphson method are carried out, including fixed point determination, stability analysis and measure of the mean convergence time, which is confirmed by our analytical convergence time model. Stability of solutions is confirmed by measuring the Lyapunov exponent over the parameter space of each map. A generalization of the second map is proposed, giving rise to a family of new maps to address the same problem. This work is developed within the language of discrete dynamical systems.展开更多

The main result in this paper generalizes the corresponding result on the second order de-layed differential equation. Our proofs are based on the well-known Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorem.展开更多
