We investigate the plane dynamical system given by the secant map applied to a polynomial $ p $ having at least one multiple root of multiplicity $ d>1 $. We prove that the local dynamics around the fixed points related to the roots of $ p $ depend on the parity of $ d $.

Figure 1. Dynamical plane of the secant map applied to $ p(x) = (x+2)x(x-1)^d $ for several values of $ d $. We show in red (dark grey) the basin of attraction of the multiple root of $ p $ corresponding to the fixed point of the secant map located at $ (1,1) $, in green (light grey) the basin of attraction of $ (-2,-2) $ and in blue (black) the basin of attraction of $ (0,0) $. The white regions that appear in each of the pictures are in the basin of a critical point of $ p $. The range of the pictures (a), (c), (e) and (f) is [-3, 3]x[-3, 3]
