Abstract

In this paper we investigate the local convergence of Chebyshev’s iterative method for the computation of a multiple polynomial zero. We establish two convergence theorems for polynomials over an arbitrary normed field. A priori and a posteriori error estimates are also provided. All of the results are new even in the case of simple zero.
