In the generation methods of these fractals, Fractals, since their introduction, have been used in arts only one root finding method is used. In this paper, to generate very complex and beautiful patterns. While we propose the use of a combination of root finding fractal patterns are very complex, only a small amount methods in the generation of fractal patterns. We use of information is needed to generate them, e.g. in the three approaches to combine the methods: (1) the use of Iterated Function Systems only information about a different combinations, e.g. affine and s-convex com- finite number of contractive mappings is needed [29]. bination, (2) the use of iteration processes from fixed One of the fractal types widely used in arts is complex point theory, (3) multistep polynomiography.

The most obvious method of obtaining various patterns of this type is the use of different root finding Keywords Fractal · Root finding · Iteration · methods. The most popular root finding method used Polynomiography is the Newton method [14,35,37], but other methods are also widely used: Halley’s method [17], the secant method [36], Aitken’s method [38] or even whole fam- ilies of root finding methods, such as Basic Family and Euler-Schröder Family [21].
