Denis,
I've found the correction here,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method
It is useful to accelerate convergence in case of multiple roots, but I
guess it is not valid to apply it once to improve accuracy because of
the risk of overshoot.

Hello,
I tried this correction to the initial roots z:
z-4*(1+z).^4 ./([ones(z),z,z.^2,z.^3]*(C(2:5).*(1:4))')
ans =
-1. - 1.923D-13i
-1. + 1.189D-12i
-1. - 1.189D-12i
-1. - 1.919D-13i
// Evaluation of new error, (and defining Z as the intended root, i.e. here
Z=-1):
z2=z-4*(z-Z).^4 ./([ones(z),z,z.^2,z.^3]*(C(2:5).*(1:4))')
z2 - Z
ans =
2.233D-08 - 1.923D-13i
-2.968D-08 + 1.189D-12i
-2.968D-08 - 1.189D-12i
2.131D-08 - 1.919D-13i
The factor 4 in the correction is a bit obscure to me, but it seems to work
also for R=(3+p)^4, again with an accuracy on the roots of a ~2E-8.

Objet : [Scilab-users] improve accuracy of roots
Dear all,
Consider this code:
// Define polynomial variable
p = poly(0, 'p', 'roots');
// Define fourth degree polynomial
R = (1 + p)^4;
// Find its roots
z = roots(R)
The result (Scilab 6.0.1) is
z =
-1.0001886
-1. + 0.0001886i
-1. - 0.0001886i
-0.9998114
It should be something closer to
-1.
-1.
-1.
-1.
Using these roots
C = coeff((p-z(1))*(p-z(2))*(p-z(3))*(p-z(4)))
yield seemingly accurate coefficients
C =
1. 4. 6. 4. 1.
but
C - [1 4 6 4 1]
shows the actual error:
ans =
3.775D-15 1.243D-14 1.155D-14 4.441D-15 0.
This is acceptable for the coefficients, but the error in the roots is
too large. Somehow the errors cancel out when assembling back the
polynomial but each individual zero should be closer to the theoretical
value
Is there some way to improve the accuracy?
Regards,
Federico Miyara
