We depart from our approximation of 2000 of all root radii of a polynomial, which has readily extended Sch{\"o}nhage's efficient algorithm of 1982 for a single root radius. We revisit this extension, advance it, based on our simple but…
We improve the local generic position method for isolating the real roots of a zero-dimensional bivariate polynomial system with two polynomials and extend the method to general zero-dimensional polynomial systems. The method mainly…
We present a practical implementation based on Newton's method to find all roots of several families of complex polynomials of degrees exceeding one billion ($10^9$) so that the observed complexity to find all roots is between $O(d\ln d)$…
Let $F(z)$ be an arbitrary complex polynomial. We introduce the local root clustering problem, to compute a set of natural $\varepsilon$-clusters of roots of $F(z)$ in some box region $B_0$ in the complex plane. This may be viewed as an…
Finding roots of equations is at the heart of most computational science. A well-known and widely used iterative algorithm is the Newton's method. However, its convergence depends heavily on the initial guess, with poor choices often…
Several root-ratio multipoint methods for finding multiple zeros of univariate functions were recently presented. The characteristic of these methods is that they deal with $m$-th root of ratio of two functions (hence the name root-ratio…
Many statistics of roots of random polynomials have been studied in the literature, but not much is known on the concentration aspect. In this note we present a systematic study of this question, aiming towards nearly optimal bounds to some…

This brief note corrects some errors in the paper quoted in the title, highlights a combinatorial result which may have been overlooked, and points to further improvements in recent literature.
Approximating the roots of a holomorphic function in an input box is a fundamental problem in many domains. Most algorithms in the literature for solving this problem are conditional, i.e., they make some simplifying assumptions, such as,…
We discuss a recursive family of iterative methods for the numerical approximation of roots of nonlinear functions in one variable. These methods are based on Newton-Cotes closed quadrature rules. We prove that when a quadrature rule with…

Optimizing the cost of evaluating a polynomial is a classic problem in computer science. For polynomials in one variable, Horner's method provides a scheme for producing a computationally efficient form. For multivariate polynomials it is…
Some known results for locating the roots of polynomials are extended to the case of matrix polynomials. In particular, a theorem by A.E. Pellet [Bulletin des Sciences Math\'ematiques, (2), vol 5 (1881), pp.393-395], some results of D.A.…
