"Newton's method as an efficient root finder: The latest news"


Date: Tue, April 7, 2015
Time: 15:45
Place: Research I Seminar Room

Abstract: I will talk about Newton's method to find roots of polynomials of fixed degree. I have significant news from the practical point of view, and especially about speed of convergence, which I want to share with the group. It could be that I have the fastest algorithm now! I will present a few numerical observations and conjectures that we should look at and explain.
