Enclosing roots of polynomial equations and their applications to iterative processes
Journal Title: Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications - Year 2009, Vol 4, Issue 0
Abstract
We introduce a special class of real recurrentpolynomials f<SUB>n</SUB> (n ≥ 1) of degree n,with unique positive roots s<SUB>n</SUB>, which are decreasingas n increases. The first root s<SUB>1</SUB>, as well asthe last one denoted by s<SUB>∞</SUB> are expressed in closedform, and enclose all s<SUB>n</SUB> (n > 1). <BR>This technique is also used to find weaker than before[Kantorovich and Akilov, 1982] sufficient convergence conditions for some popular iterative processes converging to solutions of equations.

Unequal access to public healthcare facilities: theory and measurement revisited
Adequate coverage and efficiency of public health services are high priorities for sustainable growth and development. In many countries, public healthcare continues to fall short of demand, and remains unevenly distribu...
Considerations on some algebraic properties of Feynman integrals
Some algebraic properties of integralsover configuration spaces are investigated in order to better understandquantization and the Connes-Kreimer algebraic approach to renormalization. <BR>In order to isolate the m...
Multiple periodic solutions for a fourth-order discrete Hamiltonian system
By means of a three critical points theorem proposed by Brezis and Nirenberg and a general version of Mountain Pass Theorem, we obtain some multiplicity results for periodic solutions of a fourth-order discrete Hamiltoni...
Dynamic shortfall constraints for optimal portfolios
We consider a portfolio problem when a Tail Conditional Expectation constraint is imposed. The financial market is composed of n risky assets driven by geometric Brownian motion and one risk-free asset. The Tail Conditio...
Probabilistic norms and statistical convergence of random variables
The paper extends certain stochastic convergence of sequences of <B>R<SUP>k</SUP></B> -valued random variables (namely, the convergence in probability, in L<SUP>p</SUP> and almost sure...
