Polynomial Root-Finding and Polynomiography by Bahman Kalantari

By Bahman Kalantari

This ebook deals interesting and smooth views into the speculation and perform of the old topic of polynomial root-finding, rejuvenating the sector through polynomiography, an artistic and novel computing device visualization that renders staggering photographs of a polynomial equation. Polynomiography won't simply pave the best way for brand spanking new functions of polynomials in technology and arithmetic, but in addition in paintings and schooling. The e-book provides a radical improvement of the elemental kin, arguably the main primary kin of new release capabilities, deriving many astonishing and novel theoretical and sensible purposes similar to: algorithms for approximation of roots of polynomials and analytic capabilities, polynomiography, bounds on zeros of polynomials, formulation for the approximation of Pi, and characterizations or visualizations linked to a homogeneous linear recurrence relation. those discoveries and a collection of lovely photos that supply new visions, even of the well known polynomials and recurrences, are the make-up of a truly fascinating publication. This ebook is a needs to for mathematicians, scientists, complex undergraduates and graduates, yet is additionally for a person with an appreciation for the connections among a superbly artistic paintings shape and its old mathematical foundations. Contents: Approximation of Square-Roots and Their Visualizations; the basic Theorem of Algebra and a distinct Case of Taylor s Theorem; creation to the elemental relations and Polynomiography; similar Formulations of the fundamental family members; easy relations as Dynamical approach; mounted issues of the elemental relatives; Algebraic Derivation of the fundamental relations and Characterizations; The Truncated uncomplicated kin and the Case of Halley family members; Characterizations of suggestions of Homogeneous Linear Recurrence kinfolk; Generalization of Taylor s Theorem and Newton s process; The Multipoint easy relations and Its Order of Convergence; A Computational examine of the Multipoint simple kin; A normal Determinantal decrease sure; formulation for Approximation of Pi in line with Root-Finding Algorithms; Bounds on Roots of Polynomials and Analytic services; a geometrical Optimization and Its Algebraic Offsprings; Polynomiography: Algorithms for visualisation of Polynomial Equations; Visualization of Homogeneous Linear Recurrence kinfolk; functions of Polynomiography in artwork, schooling, technological know-how and arithmetic; Approximation of Square-Roots Revisited; extra functions and Extensions of the elemental kin and Polynomiography.

Then xk > xk+1 , lim ∀ k ≥ 0, and k→∞ lim xk = θ. k→∞ (xk+1 − θ) 1 = . (xk − θ)m (2θ)m−1 (i) (ii) Proof. 1 for each real input x0 > 0, the sequence {gm (x0 )}∞ m=2 converges to θ. But if x0 > θ, then 0 < R(x0 ) < 1. From this it follows: (1 + Rm (x0 ))(1 − Rm+1 (x0 )) > (1 − Rm (x0 ))(1 + Rm+1 (x0 )). 18), it is easy to see that for all m ≥ 2, gm (x0 ) > gm+1 (x0 ). 22) implies of (i). 14), and since γm (θ) = −1 1 = . P1m (θ) (2θ)m−1 √ Although we have considered the approximation θ = α where α is a natural number, clearly all the convergence properties extend to the case where α is any positive real number.

Viewing the approximation of polynomials roots over the complex plane is a more challenging task, even for such a simple complex polynomial such as p(z) = z 2 − 2. To begin with, we would have to remember that the polynomial p(z) maps the complex number z = x + iy, corresponding to the point (x, y) in the complex plane, to z 2 − 2 = (x2 − y 2 − 2) + i2xy, another point in the complex plane. Thus we need four dimensions to view the graph of this mapping, which is not possible, given that our physical visualization capabilities are limited to three dimensions only.

We draw the function p(x) = x2 −α and the iterates on the x-axis. There is a well-known geometric interpretation of the location of the iterates for an arbitrary real polynomial: given xk , xk+1 is the intersection of the tangent line to p(x) at xk , and the x-axis.
