Description

We discuss Graeffes’s method and variations. Graeffe iteratively computes a sequence of polynomialsso that the roots of are those of raised to the power . Then the roots of can be expressed in terms of the coefficients of . Special treatment is given to complex and/or multiple modulus roots. A method of Lehmer’s finds the argument as well as the modulus of the roots, while other authors show how to reduce the danger of overflow. Variants such as the Chebyshev-like process are discussed. The Graeffe iteration lends itself well to parallel processing, and two algorithms in that context are described. Error estimates are given, as well as several variants.
