Abstract

Using the iterative method of Newton's type in circular arithmetic, introduced in [14], a new iterative method for finding a multiple complex zero of a polynomial is derived. This method can be regarded as a version of classical Schröder's method. Initial conditions which guarantee a safe convergence of the proposed method are stated. The increase of the computational efficiency is achieved by a combination of the complex approximation methods of Schröder's type with some interval methods. The presented algorithms are analysed in view of their efficiency and illustrated numerically in the example of a polynomial equation.

Zusammenfassung

Durch Verwendung der in [14] eingeführten iterativen Newton-Typ-Methode in zirkulärer Arithmetik wird eine neue iterative Methode zum Auffinden mehrfacher komplexer Nullstellen eines Polynoms hergeleitet. Diese Methode kann als Version der klassischen Schröder-Methode angesehen werden. Anfangsbedingungen, die eine sichere Konvergenz der vorgeschlagenen Methode garantieren, werden eingegeben. Die Steigerung der Berechnungseffizienz wird durch Kombination der komplexen Approximationsmethode vom Schröder-Typ mit einigen Intervallmethoden erreicht. Der erreichte Algorithmus wird in Hinsicht auf seine Effizienz analysiert und numerisch am Beispiel einer Polynomgleichung illustriert.
