Abstract
Nonlinear problems, which often arise in various scientific and engineering disciplines, typically involve nonlinear equations or functions with multiple solutions. Analytical solutions to these problems are often impossible to obtain, necessitating the use of numerical techniques. This research proposes an efficient and stable Caputo-type inverse numerical fractional scheme for simultaneously approximating all roots of nonlinear equations, with a convergence order of . The scheme is applied to various nonlinear problems, utilizing dynamical analysis to determine efficient initial values for a single root-finding Caputo-type fractional scheme, which is further employed in inverse fractional parallel schemes to accelerate convergence rates. Several sets of random initial vectors demonstrate the global convergence behavior of the proposed method. The newly developed scheme outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy, consistency, validation, computational CPU time, residual error, and stability.

1. Introduction
Solving nonlinear equations is a fundamental problem in science and engineering, with a history dating back to the early days of modern mathematics. These equations, characterized by non-trivial relationships between variables, are crucial for simulating and understanding complex natural phenomena such as biological interactions, turbulent fluid dynamics, and chaotic systems [1,2,3]. The importance of solving nonlinear equations lies in their ability to provide precise descriptions and predictions of these systems, thereby leading to significant advances across various scientific and engineering disciplines [4]. Recent developments in computational methods and the increasing complexity of modern engineering problems have heightened the need for efficient and accurate solutions to nonlinear equations. For instance, in physics, solving Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetism [5] and the Navier–Stokes equations for fluid dynamics [6] is essential for understanding and predicting electromagnetic wave propagation [7] and turbulent flows [8]. These solutions are critical for designing advanced technologies in telecommunications, aerospace, and renewable energy [9,10]. In engineering, nonlinear equations are used to develop control systems that optimize performance and ensure stability in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The design of structures to withstand dynamic loads and the creation of sophisticated algorithms for digital signal processing also rely heavily on these equations [11]. In biology and medicine, nonlinear models help replicate the behavior of complex biological systems [12], enhance our understanding of brain networks [13], and improve disease prediction models [14]. Despite their significance, solving nonlinear equations remains a difficult task due to the equations’ inherent complexity and the need for high computational resources. Recent progress in numerical techniques, such as adaptive methods, machine learning algorithms, and parallel computing, offer promising routes for tackling these challenges.
In this paper, we address the solution of fractional differential equations of the form
where is free parameter and Differential equations of both integer and fractional orders [15] are crucial for simulating phenomena in physical science and engineering that require precise solutions [16]. Fractional-order differential equations, for example, effectively describe the memory and hereditary characteristics of viscoelastic materials and anomalous diffusion processes [17]. Accurate solutions to these equations are critical for understanding and designing systems with complex behaviors. Solving fractional nonlinear problems
requires advanced numerical iterative methods to obtain approximate solutions, see e.g., [18,19,20]. The intrinsic non-locality of these type of models, where the derivative at a point depends on the entire function’s history, makes them notoriously challenging to solve both analytically and numerically. Exact techniques [21], analytical techniques [22,23,24], or direct numerical methods, such as explicit single-step methods [25], multi-step methods [26], and hybrid block methods [27], have significant limitations, including high computational costs, stability issues, and sensitivity to small errors.
Numerical techniques for solving such equations can be classified into two groups: those that find a single solution at a time and those that find all solutions simultaneously. Well-known methods for finding simple roots include the Newton method [28], the Halley method [29], the Chun method [30], the Ostrowski method [31], the King method [32], the Shams method [33], the Cordero method [34], the Mir method [35], the Samima method [36], and the Neta method [37]. For multi-step methods, see, for example, Refs. [38,39] and references therein. Recent studies by Torres-Hernandez et al. [40], Akgül et al. [41], Gajori et al. [42], and Kumar et al. [43] describe fractional versions of single root-finding techniques with various fractional derivatives. These techniques are versatile and often straightforward to implement but have several significant drawbacks. While these methods converge rapidly near initial guesses, they can diverge if the guess is far from the solution or if the function is complex. They are sensitive to initial assumptions, requiring precise estimations for each root, making them time-consuming and computationally intensive. Evaluating both the function and its derivative increases computational costs, especially for complex functions. Additionally, distinguishing between real and complex roots can be challenging without modifications. In contrast, parallel root-finding methods offer greater stability, consistency, and global convergence compared to single root-finding techniques. They can be implemented on parallel computer architectures, utilizing multiple processes to approximate all solutions to (2) simultaneously.
Among parallel numerical schemes, the Weierstrass–Durand–Kerner approach [44] is particularly attractive from a computational standpoint. This method is given by

is Weierstrass’ correction. Method (3) has local quadratic convergence. Nedzibov et al. [45] present the modified Weierstrass method,
also known as the inverse Weierstrass method, which has quadratic convergence. The inverse parallel schemes outperform the classical simultaneous methods because the inverse parallel scheme efficiently handles nonlinear equations by utilizing parallel processing to accelerate convergence. It reduces computing time and improves accuracy by dynamically adapting to the unique properties of the problem. This strategy is especially useful in large-scale or complicated systems where conventional methods may be too slow or ineffectual. Shams et al. [46] presented the following inverse parallel scheme:
Inverse parallel scheme (6) has local quadratic convergence.
In 1977, Ehrlich [47] introduced a convergent simultaneous method of the third order given by
where Using as a correction in (4), Petkovic et al. [48] accelerated the convergence order from three to six:

2. Fractional Scheme Construction and Analysis
The fractional-order iterative method is a powerful tool for solving nonlinear equations, offering faster and more accurate convergence compared to classical algorithms. Shams et al. [53] proposed the following single-step fractional iterative method as
The order of convergence of the method in (19) is , which satisfies the following error equation:
where , and The Caputo-type fractional version of (20) was proposed in [54] as
where and for any The order of convergence of the (21) technique is , which satisfies the following error equation:
where , and
In this paper, we focus on the technique described in [55], which offers faster convergence speed, higher accuracy, better processing efficiency, and more robustness compared to other single root-finding methods. We extend this method to handle fractional derivatives, enabling the more precise modeling of systems with memory and non-local effects. The original method is given by
where By incorporating the Caputo-type fractional derivative into (23), we propose the following fractional version of the single root finding method:
where . We abbreviate this method as .
2.1. Convergence Analysis
For the iterative scheme (23), we prove the following theorem to establish its order of convergence.
Theorem 2.
Let

Thus
Hence, the theorem is proven. □
2.2. Stability Analysis of the -Scheme
The stability of single root-finding methods for nonlinear equations is crucial for ensuring the reliability and robustness of the iterative solution process [56]. Stability, in this context, refers to a method’s ability to converge to a real root from an initial guess, even when minor perturbations or errors occur in the calculations. Single root-finding approaches exhibit local convergence around the root, making them effective when the initial guess is sufficiently close to the exact root. However, their stability is influenced by the nature of the function and the initial estimate. If the function is poorly behaved or the initial estimate is far from the root, single root-finding methods may diverge or converge to extraneous fixed points unrelated to the actual roots of the nonlinear equations [57]. The stability of single root-finding methods can be evaluated using concepts from complex dynamical systems, which measure the sensitivity of the root to changes in the input, and convergence criteria, which assess how rapidly the method approaches the root. To minimize the impact of computational errors and ensure consistent and reliable root-finding performance, stability is often achieved by balancing the method’s inherent convergence properties with the careful selection of the initial guess, function parameters, and stopping criteria [58,59]. The following rational map is obtained as
where
For , we have
where Thus, depends on , and the variable. Using Möbius transformation we see is conjugate with operator
for and independent of a and b. Therefore, exactly fits with:
which has interesting properties [60].
The next proposition examines the fixed points of the rational map, which are essential for understanding the behavior and convergence properties of these schemes.
Proposition 1.
The fixed points of are as follows:
- and are super attracting points.
- is a repelling point.
- The critical points are 0 and 1, which are super attracting and repelling points, respectively, for
Proof.
The fixed points of are determined by solving
Therefore, 0 is the fixed points. Further solving
gives the remaining fixed points. Furthermore, so is also a fixed point. The derivative of is
Thus, the critical points are and . Evaluating the derivative at these points, indicates that 0 is a super attracting point and indicates that 1 is a repelling point. □
The dynamical planes in iterative methods are essential for solving nonlinear equations because they provide visual insights into the behavior and stability of iterating processes. By investigating the convergence and divergence patterns within these planes, fixed points, attractors, and chaotic zones can be identified, allowing the iterative process to be optimized for improved accuracy and efficiency. The stability of the single root-finding method for different fractional parameter values is examined using dynamical planes (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). In these figures, the orange color represents the basins of attraction of when mapped to 0. If the root of maps to infinity, it is marked in blue. If the map diverges, it is marked in black. Strange fixed points are depicted by white circles, free critical points by white squares, and fixed points by white squares with a star. The dynamical planes are generated by taking starting values from the square . In Figure 1, the dynamical planes show large basins where the rational map converges to 0 or infinity. In Figure 2a–e, the region of the basins of attraction decreases as the fractional parameter value decreases from 1 to 0.5 and diverges at 0. This indicates that the single-step method is more stable when the fractional parameter values are close to 1 and becomes unstable as the fractional parameter values approach 0. Using the newly developed stable fractional-order single root-finding method as a correction factor in (23), we propose a novel inverse fractional scheme for analyzing (1) in the following section.

3. Development and Analysis of Inverse Fractional Parallel Scheme
The inverse fractional parallel iterative approach is useful for determining the roots of nonlinear equations because it efficiently finds all roots of (2) simultaneously. This iterative technique converges quickly from any initial value, has global convergence, and computes both real and complex roots simultaneously. The inverse fractional schemes provide greater stability, consistency and are well suited for parallel computing. Shams et al. [61] presented the fractional parallel approach with convergence order 2 for solving (2) as follows:
where Using (4) in (23), we propose the following inverse fractional parallel scheme () as
where , , , The parallel fractional scheme can also be written as

All computations are carried out in Maple 20 and C++ to determine the more realistic run time of the numerical approach for comparison. Further, we compare our newly developed method with the Nourien method [62] (), which has a convergence order of four:

4.1. Example 1: Fractional Relaxation–Oscillation Equation [64]
A fundamental tool for forecasting the dynamic behavior of systems exhibiting both relaxation and oscillatory properties is the fractional relaxation–oscillation equation. This equation has applications in materials science, engineering, and biology, as it incorporates fractional derivatives that account for the system’s memory and hereditary effects, extending traditional relaxation–oscillation models. The fractional relaxation–oscillation equation is given by
In viscoelastic materials with both elastic and viscous behavior, the fractional order explains how the material’s stress response is influenced by its current state and deformation history.

To observe the global convergence behavior, we selected some random initial guess values using the “rand()” command in Matlab to generate random initial guesses. The numerical outcomes for these random initial guesses are presented in Table 2.

Root trajectories for roots 1–6 were determined by selecting random initial starting points using the Albearth initial approximation, with a maximum of 7, 8, 12, 10, and 12 iterations for to converge to the exact roots. In Figure 4, the black solid circle represents the initial starting roots using the Albearth initial approximation, the empty circle shows the number of iterations required to reach the precise roots, and the red cross on the circle indicates the exact root’s position in the complex plane. The numerical technique converges to the exact roots, displaying global convergence characteristics for any collection of initial test problems, as demonstrated in Figure 4.

Figure 5 clearly demonstrates that as we start with values of 0.1 and proceed closer to 1, the number of iterations decreases, indicating an increase in the convergence rate, which reaches its maximum as approaches 1. This is because the fractional derivative equals the ordinary derivative at . The figure also illustrates that as increases from 0.1 to 0.9, the number of iterations decreases while accuracy increases, indicating that the newly developed approach becomes stable at . The scheme exhibits consistent behavior across all initial approximations, demonstrating global convergence and holding a prominent position in comparison to and .

The global convergence behavior of the numerical scheme for different sets of random starting vectors is investigated in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4. Random sets of starting values, using the Albearth initial approximation, are presented in Table 2 to find all solutions to the considered application. The comparisons of the starting vectors with exact roots up to four decimal places are shown in the last column. Table 3 presents the numerical outputs for various fractional parameter values ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 when these three initial vectors are used to find all solutions. As shown in Table 3, accuracy increases and reaches a maximum at as the values increase from 0.1 to 0.9. To obtain this accuracy for different test vectors − , the method requires a varying number of iterations for , as shown in Table 4. It is also evident from Table 4 that the number of iterations decreases as increases from 0.1 to 0.9. Table 5 shows the scheme’s overall behavior with different sets of starting vectors.

The last column compares the initial vectors with exact roots up to four decimal places. Table 8 presents the numerical outputs for fractional parameter values ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 when these three initial vectors are used to find all possible solutions. As values increase from 0.1 to 0.9, Table 8 demonstrates that accuracy rises and reaches a maximum at . To achieve this accuracy for different test vectors, the method requires a variable number of iterations for g, as shown in Table 9. Table 9 also clearly shows that the number of iterations decreases as grows from 0.1 to 0.9. Table 10 shows the scheme’s overall behavior with different sets of starting vectors.
