Cino Hilliard, Roots by Recursion

FORMULA

The recursion was derived experimentally by analyzing the patterns of root

recursions for polynomials

f(x) = a(n)x^n+a(n-1)x^(n-1)+...+a(1)x+a(0) and

g(x) = a(n-1)x^(n-1)+a(n-2)x^(n-2)+...+a(2)x+a(1)

where the recursion x = a(0)/g(x) may or may not converge to a root and many

iterations are required to get greater accuracy. By introducing an averaging

scheme, a root is found if it exists and convergence is much faster to a root

of f(x) See the link for details. This cubic recursion is equivalent to

Newton's Method.

PROG

(PARI) for(k=0, 100, rroot3(k, 1))

rroot3(d, p) = /* Find a root of x^3 - d */Q {

local(x=1, x1=1, j);

for(j=1, p,

x=(x1+x+d/x^2)/3; /* average scheme for a cube root of d */

x1=x; print1(numerator(x)", ");

);

}
