How many operations do we need on the average to compute an approximate root of a random Gaussian polynomial system? Beyond Smale's 17th problem that asked whether a polynomial bound is possible, we prove a quasi-optimal bound $\text{(input…
As showed in (Fiedler, 1990), any polynomial can be expressed as a characteristic polynomial of a complex symmetric arrowhead matrix. This expression is not unique. If the polynomial is real with only real distinct roots, the matrix can be…
We present a new algorithm to solve polynomial equations, and publish its code, which is 1.6-3 times faster than the ZROOTS subroutine that is commercially available from Numerical Recipes, depending on application. The largest improvement,…
We introduce a new iterative root-finding method for complex polynomials, dubbed {\it Newton-Ellipsoid} method. It is inspired by the Ellipsoid method, a classical method in optimization, and a property of Newton's Method derived in…
We give a new improvement over Newton's method for root-finding, when the function in question is doubly differentiable. It generally exhibits faster and more reliable convergence. It can be also be thought of as a correction to Halley's…

Let f be a univariate polynomial with real coefficients, f in R[X]. Subdivision algorithms based on algebraic techniques (e.g., Sturm or Descartes methods) are widely used for isolating the real roots of f in a given interval. In this…
We review some known inclusion results for the roots of a polynomial, and adapt them to a conjecture recently presented by S. A. Vavasis. In particular, we provide strict upper and lower bounds to the distance of the closest root of a…
We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…

In this paper we develop a new method which is a generalization of the Obreshkoff -Ehrlich method for the cases of algebraic, trigonometric and exponential polynomials. This method has a cubic rate of convergence. It is efficient from the…
Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we…
We explore an algorithm for approximating roots of integers, discuss its motivation and derivation, and analyze its convergence rates with varying parameters and inputs. We also perform comparisons with established methods for approximating…
Root-finding method is an iterative process that constructs a sequence converging to a solution of an equation. Householder's method is a higher-order method that requires higher order derivatives of the reciprocal of a function and has…
We introduce a new algorithm denoted DSC2 to isolate the real roots of a univariate square-free polynomial f with integer coefficients. The algorithm iteratively subdivides an initial interval which is known to contain all real roots of f.…

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.…

We consider some known and some new properties of the family of polynomials introduced by Ted Suffridge in 1969. We begin by giving a brief overview of their extremal properties in classic and more recent work. We also give a compact form…
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…
