Some improved inclusion methods for polynomial roots with Weierstrass' corrections (Q2365928)

Earlier the first author [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 8, 51-56 (1982; Zbl 0483.65029)] introduced a third order method using circular complex arithmetic for the simultaneous inclusion of simple zeros of a complex polynomial. A related fourth order method using ordinary complex arithmetic was proposed by \textit{A. Nourein} [ibid. 3, 109-112 (1977; Zbl 0364.65033)]. In this paper the earlier cubic interval method is improved following Nourain's ideas of applying the Weierstrass correction. The improved interval methods require no additional calculations and are shown to have R-orders that asymptotically exceed 3.5. A numerical example is given.
