(p.) is OK, but I do not know how it works. Thanks to Raul Miller and to R.E.Boss, my home-cooked equation solver looks like this. p1=.+`*/&}:&|:@(,@,."_ 0) NB. evaluate polynomial x at point y p2=.*/&|:&(+0&=)&(-/~) NB. multiply differences between approximate roots p3=.]-p1%p2@:] NB. iteration step p4=.](p3^:_)0.8j0.6^i.@:<:&$ NB. solve a normalized equation p5=.p4&(%{:)&({.~>:&{:&(-.&(0&=)#i.&#)) NB. normalize and solve NB. This J code can probably be further compacted. NB. test runs: load'plot' pl=:[:'dot;pensize 5'&plot 0j1*] NB. vertical real axis a=. 0 1 2 3 4 5 0 NB. test coefficients pl p5 a NB. show complex roots using (p5) pl >}.p.a NB. show complex roots using (p.) p5 1 NB. show no roots using (p5)
p.1 NB. show no roots using (p.) |domain error | p.1 Thanks! Bo. Den 20:53 onsdag den 7. marts 2018 skrev R.E. Boss <r.e.b...@outlook.com>: a |:@:(,@,."_ 0) b R.E.
