摘要
Two common strategies for computing all roots of a polynomial with Laguerre's method are explicit deflation and Maehly's procedure. The former is only a semi-stable process and is not suitable for solving large degree polynomial equations. In contrast, the latter implicitly deflates the polynomial using previously accepted roots and is, therefore, a more practical strategy for solving large degree polynomial equations. However, since the roots of a polynomial are computed sequentially, this method cannot take advantage of parallel systems. In this article, we present an implementation of a modified Laguerre method for the simultaneous approximation of all roots of a polynomial. We provide a derivation of this method along with a detailed analysis of our algorithm's initial estimates, stopping criterion, and stability. Finally, the results of several numerical experiments are provided to verify our analysis and the effectiveness of our algorithm.
