We propose an improved algorithm for finding roots of polynomials over finite fields. This makes possible significant speedup of the decoding process of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem, Reed-Solomon, and some other error-correcting codes.

In this paper, we consider nonlocal, nonlinear partial differential equations to model anisotropic dynamics of complex root sets of random polynomials under differentiation. These equations aim to generalise the recent PDE obtained by…

Real root finding of polynomial equations is a basic problem in computer algebra. This task is usually divided into two parts: isolation and refinement. In this paper, we propose two algorithms LZ1 and LZ2 to refine real roots of univariate…

We show that deciding whether a sparse univariate polynomial has a p-adic rational root can be done in NP for most inputs. We also prove a polynomial-time upper bound for trinomials with suitably generic p-adic Newton polygon. We thus…

An iterative formula based on Newton Method alone is presented for the iterative solutions of equations that ensures convergence in cases where the traditional Newton Method may fail to converge to the desired root. In addition, the method…

Iterative methods for the simultaneous determination of all roots of an equation are dis-cussed. The multiplicities of the roots are assumed to be known in advance. The methods are proved to have a cubical rate of convergence. Numerical…

We seek complex roots of a univariate polynomial $P$ with real or complex coefficients. We address this problem based on recent algorithms that use subdivision and have a nearly optimal complexity. They are particularly efficient when only…

A new variant of Newton's method - named Backtracking New Q-Newton's method (BNQN) - which has strong theoretical guarantee, is easy to implement, and has good experimental performance, was recently introduced by the third author.…

We consider the problem of numerically identifying roots of a target function - under the constraint that we can only measure the derivatives of the function at a given point, not the function itself. We describe and characterize two…

The algorithms of Pan (1995) and(2002) approximate the roots of a complex univariate polynomial in nearly optimal arithmetic and Boolean time but require precision of computing that exceeds the degree of the polynomial. This causes…

We specify a small set, consisting of $O(d(\log\log d)^2)$ points, that intersects the basins under Newton's method of \emph{all} roots of \emph{all} (suitably normalized) complex polynomials of fixed degrees $d$, with arbitrarily high…

In this paper we present an algorithm to obtain the parameter planes of families of root-finding methods with several free critical points. The parameter planes show the joint behaviour of all critical points. This algorithm avoids the…

The Durand-Kerner algorithm is a widely used iterative technique for simultaneously finding all the roots of a polynomial. However, its convergence heavily depends on the choice of initial approximations. This paper introduces two novel…

We give an anecdotal discussion of the problem of searching for polynomials with all roots on the unit circle, whose coefficients are rational numbers subject to certain congruence conditions. We illustrate with an example from a…

We propose an approach to constructing iterative methods for finding polynomial roots simultaneously. One feature of this approach is using the fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials. Within this framework, we reconstruct many of the…

We study the problem of recognizing graph powers and computing roots of graphs. We provide a polynomial time recognition algorithm for r-th powers of graphs of girth at least 2r+3, thus improving a bound conjectured by Farzad et al. (STACS…

We report an ongoing work on clustering algorithms for complex roots of a univariate polynomial $p$ of degree $d$ with real or complex coefficients. As in their previous best subdivision algorithms our root-finders are robust even for…

We implement an iterative numerical method to solve polynomial equations $f(x)=0$ in the $p$-adic numbers, where $f(x) \in\mathbb{Z}_p[x]$. This method is a simplified $p$-adic analogue of Jarratt's method for finding roots of functions…
