Abstract.Using a finite element approximation, an iterative optimization scheme is described to find the z zeros of Kniz) for fixed order n. Two computer programs have been implemented to find the complex zeros with a computational accuracy of either 13 or 27 significant digits. The optimization scheme described in the paper may also be readily applied to find real and complex zeros of an arbitrary function with real and complex coefficients. Neither its accuracy nor its efficiency is affected by the number of the roots of the function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
