Laguerre-Like Methods for the Simultaneous Approximation of Polynomial Multiple Zeros


Miodrag Petković, Lidija Rančić, Dušan Milošević




Two new methods of the fourth order for the simultaneous determination of multiple zeros of a polynomial are proposed. The presented methods are based on the fixed point relation of Laguerre's type and realized in ordinary complex arithmetic as well as circular complex interval arithmetic. The derived iterative formulas are suitable for the construction of modified methods with improved convergence rate with negligible additional operations. Very fast convergence of the considered methods is illustrated by two numerical examples
