Abstract

In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm based on branch and bound method and reduced interval techniques to approximate real roots of a polynomial. Quadratic bounding functions are proposed which are better than the well known linear underestimator. Experimental result shows its efficiency when facing ill-conditionned polynomials.
