Backward Error Measures for Roots of Polynomials

Numerical Analysis 2020-03-24 v1 Numerical Analysis

Abstract

We analyze different measures for the backward error of a set of numerical approximations for the roots of a polynomial. We focus mainly on the element-wise mixed backward error introduced by Mastronardi and Van Dooren, and the tropical backward error introduced by Tisseur and Van Barel. We show that these measures are equivalent under suitable assumptions. We also show relations between these measures and the classical element-wise and norm-wise backward error measures.
