Abstract

We study the problem of approximating the zeros of an univariate polynomial (up to machine precision). Some popular iterative root-finding methods construct companion matrices (Frobenius, Lagrange) associated with the given polynomial and use eigensolvers to find the eigenvalues of such matrices. Our goal is to study this root-finding technique, exploiting the structure (e.g., diagonal plus rank one) of companion matrices to obtain a decrease of computational cost and memory requirements.
