Newton iteration (NI) is an almost 350 years old recursive formula that approximates a simple root of a polynomial quite rapidly. We generalize it to a matrix recurrence (allRootsNI) that approximates all the roots simultaneously. In this…

We consider the problem of computing the monic gcd of two polynomials over a number field L = Q(alpha_1,...,alpha_n). Langemyr and McCallum have already shown how Brown's modular GCD algorithm for polynomials over Q can be modified to work…

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…
