Convergent iterative sequences are constructed for the polynomials fm = z + zm, m ≧ 2, with initial point the lemniscate {z: |fm (z)| ≦1}. In the particular case m = 2 convergent iterative sequences are constructed also for f-1m, (z) with an arbitrary initial point. The method is based on a certain variational principle which allows reducing the problem to the well known situation of an analytic function mapping a simply connected domain into a proper subset of itself and possessing a fixed point in the domain.
