On some improvements of square root iteration for polynomial complex zeros

摘要

Using Newton's and Halley's corrections, some modifications of the simultaneous method for finding polynomial complex zeros, based on square root iteration, are obtained. The convergence order of the proposed methods is five and six respectively. Further improvements of these methods are performed by applying the Gauss—Seidel approach. The lower bounds of the R-order of convergence and the convergence conditions for the accelerated (single-step) methods are given. Faster convergence is attained without additional calculations. The considered iterative procedures are illustrated numerically in the example of an algebraic equation.
