Jenkins–Traub Algorithm
The Jenkins–Traub algorithm for polynomial zeros is a fast globally convergent iterative polynomial root-finding method published in 1970 by Michael A. Jenkins and Joseph F. Traub. They gave two variants, one for general polynomials with complex coefficients, commonly known as the "CPOLY" algorithm, and a more complicated variant for the special case of polynomials with real coefficients, commonly known as the "RPOLY" algorithm. The latter is "practically a standard in black-box polynomial root-finders". This article describes the complex variant. Given a polynomial ''P'', :P(z)=\sum_^na_iz^, \quad a_0=1,\quad a_n\ne 0 with complex coefficients it computes approximations to the ''n'' zeros \alpha_1,\alpha_2,\dots,\alpha_n of ''P''(''z''), one at a time in roughly increasing order of magnitude. After each root is computed, its linear factor is removed from the polynomial. Using this ''deflation'' guarantees that each root is computed only once and that all roots are found. The ...
