In this paper methods for simultaneous finding all roots of generalized polynomials are developed. These methods are related to the case when the roots are multiple. They possess cubic rate of convergence and they are as labour-consuming as…
When Newton's method, or Halley's method is used to approximate the $p${th} root of $1-z$, a sequence of rational functions is obtained. In this paper, a beautiful formula for these rational functions is proved in the square root case,…

This work presents and extends a known spigot-algorithm for computing square-roots, digit-by-digit, that is suitable for calculation by hand or an abacus, using only addition and subtraction. We offer an elementary proof of correctness for…
The usual methods for root finding of polynomials are based on the iteration of a numerical formula for improvement of successive estimations. The unpredictable nature of the iterations prevents to search roots inside a pre-specified region…
We clarify the question whether for a smooth curve of polynomials one can choose the roots smoothly and related questions. Applications to perturbation theory of operators are given.
In the computation of Feynman integrals which evaluate to multiple polylogarithms one encounters quite often square roots. To express the Feynman integral in terms of multiple polylogarithms, one seeks a transformation of variables, which…
