  2. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    Finding one root; Finding all roots; Finding roots in a specific region of the complex plane, typically the real roots or the real roots in a given interval (for example, when roots represents a physical quantity, only the real positive ones are interesting). For finding one root, Newton's method and other general iterative methods work ...

  3. Vieta's formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieta's_formulas

    Vieta's formulas can be proved by considering the equality + + + + = () (which is true since ,, …, are all the roots of this polynomial), expanding the products in the right-hand side, and equating the coefficients of each power of between the two members of the equation.

  4. Bairstow's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bairstow's_method

    In numerical analysis, Bairstow's method is an efficient algorithm for finding the roots of a real polynomial of arbitrary degree. The algorithm first appeared in the appendix of the 1920 book Applied Aerodynamics by Leonard Bairstow. [1] [non-primary source needed] The algorithm finds the roots in complex conjugate pairs using only real ...

  5. Laguerre's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguerre's_method

    If x is a simple root of the polynomial (), then Laguerre's method converges cubically whenever the initial guess, (), is close enough to the root . On the other hand, when x 1 {\displaystyle x_{1}} is a multiple root convergence is merely linear, with the penalty of calculating values for the polynomial and its first and second derivatives at ...

  6. Wilkinson's polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkinson's_polynomial

    Wilkinson's polynomial arose in the study of algorithms for finding the roots of a polynomial = =. It is a natural question in numerical analysis to ask whether the problem of finding the roots of p from the coefficients c i is well-conditioned. That is, we hope that a small change in the coefficients will lead to a small change in the roots.

  7. Lill's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lill's_method

    Finding roots −2, −1 (repeated root), and −1/3 of the quartic 3x 4 +13x 3 +19x 2 +11x+2 using Lill's method. Black segments are labeled with their lengths (coefficients in the equation), while each colored line with initial slope m and the same endpoint corresponds to a real root.

  8. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f ( x ) = 0 . As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form , root-finding algorithms provide approximations to zeros.

  9. Steffensen's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffensen's_method

    The simplest form of the formula for Steffensen's method occurs when it is used to find a zero of a real function; that is, to find the real value that satisfies () =.Near the solution , the derivative of the function, ′, is supposed to approximately satisfy < ′ <; this condition ensures that is an adequate correction-function for , for finding its own solution, although it is not required ...
