  2. Laguerre's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguerre's_method

    If x is a simple root of the polynomial (), then Laguerre's method converges cubically whenever the initial guess, (), is close enough to the root . On the other hand, when x 1 {\displaystyle x_{1}} is a multiple root convergence is merely linear, with the penalty of calculating values for the polynomial and its first and second derivatives at ...

  3. Gröbner basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gröbner_basis

    When the number of zeros is finite, the Gröbner basis for a lexicographical monomial ordering provides, theoretically, a solution: the first coordinate of a solution is a root of the greatest common divisor of polynomials of the basis that depend only on the first variable. After substituting this root in the basis, the second coordinate of ...

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    The mean value theorem ensures that if there is a root of f in X k, then it is also in X k + 1. Moreover, the hypothesis on F′ ensures that X k + 1 is at most half the size of X k when m is the midpoint of Y , so this sequence converges towards [ x* , x* ] , where x* is the root of f in X .

  5. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  6. Index calculus algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_calculus_algorithm

    It requires a factor base as input. This factor base is usually chosen to be the number −1 and the first r primes starting with 2. From the point of view of efficiency, we want this factor base to be small, but in order to solve the discrete log for a large group we require the factor base to be (relatively) large. In practical ...

  7. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  8. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    Another criterion is given by a theorem of Kronecker. [5] [page needed] It says that, if the topological degree of a function f on a rectangle is non-zero, then the rectangle must contain at least one root of f. This criterion is the basis for several root-finding methods, such as those of Stenger [6] and Kearfott. [7]

  9. Geometrical properties of polynomial roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_properties_of...

    For polynomials with real or complex coefficients, it is not possible to express a lower bound of the root separation in terms of the degree and the absolute values of the coefficients only, because a small change on a single coefficient transforms a polynomial with multiple roots into a square-free polynomial with a small root separation, and ...
