Abstract

We adapt two celebrated polynomial root-finders. Performing one of them, we involve only the scaled values of the input polynomial c(@l) at the points approximating the roots and recursively updated. Performing another root-finder, we also compute the values of the derivative c'(@l) at these points. In neither case do we use the coefficients of c(@l). We also relate our algorithms to approximating the eigenvalues of a matrix.
