Open AccessConsistency of the regional response to global warming levels from CMIP5 and CORDEX projections
Assessing the regional responses to different Global Warming Levels (GWLs; e.g. + 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 ºC) is one of the most important challenges in climate change sciences since the Paris Agreement goal of keepin...

Superattracting Extraneous Fixed Points and n-cycles for Chebyshev’s Method on Cubic Polynomials
In this work we provide analytic and graphic arguments to explain the behaviour of Chebyshev’s method applied to cubic polynomials in the complex plane. In particular, we study the parameter plane related to t...

A multidimensional generalization of some classes of iterative methods
In this paper we extend to the multidimensional case some iterative methods that are known in their scalar version. All the schemes considered here are two-step methods with fourth-order local convergence, whe...
