Therefore, in this work our main focus is on developing a new family of optimal eighth order iterative methods for multiple zeros. The applicability of proposed methods is demonstrated on some real life and academic problems that illustrate the efficient convergence behavior. It is shown that the newly developed schemes are able to compete with other methods in terms of numerical error, convergence and computational time. Stability is also demonstrated by means of a pictorial tool, namely, basins of attraction that have the fractal-like shapes along the borders through which basins are symmetric.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12121947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]],"date-time":"2020-11-25T21:55:06Z","timestamp":1606341306000},"page":"1947","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Generating Optimal Eighth Order Methods for Computing Multiple Roots"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Deepak","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Chandigarh University, Gharuan, Mohali 140413, India"}]},{"given":"Sunil","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology Longowal, Sangrur 148106, India"}]},{"given":"Janak Raj","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology Longowal, Sangrur 148106, India"}]},{"given":"Matteo","family":"d\u2019Amore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Difarma, University of Salerno, Via Giovanni II, 132, 84084 Fisciano (SA), Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Argyros, I.K.
