In 1984, Wang and Zheng (J. Comput. Math. 1984, 1, 70–76) introduced a new fourth order iterative method for the simultaneous computation of all zeros of a polynomial. In this paper, we present new local and semilocal convergence theorems with error estimates for Wang–Zheng’s method. Our results improve the earlier ones due to Wang and Wu (Computing 1987, 38, 75–87) and Petković, Petković, and Rančić (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 2007, 205, 32–52).
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.
