Detailed Description

polynomial solvers

vtkPolynomialSolversUnivariate provides solvers for univariate polynomial equations with real coefficients. The Tartaglia-Cardan and Ferrari solvers work on polynomials of fixed degree 3 and 4, respectively. The Lin-Bairstow and Sturm solvers work on polynomials of arbitrary degree. The Sturm solver is the most robust solver but only reports roots within an interval and does not report multiplicities. The Lin-Bairstow solver reports multiplicities.

For difficult polynomials, you may wish to use FilterRoots to eliminate some of the roots reported by the Sturm solver. FilterRoots evaluates the derivatives near each root to eliminate cases where a local minimum or maximum is close to zero.

Thanks:
Thanks to Philippe Pebay, Korben Rusek, David Thompson, and Maurice Rojas for implementing these solvers.

\[ P[0] X^d + ... + P[d-1] X + P[d] \]

in ]a[0] ; a[1]] using the Habicht sequence (polynomial coefficients are REAL) and returns the count nr. All roots are bracketed in the first ]upperBnds[i] - tol ; upperBnds[i]] intervals. Returns -1 if anything went wrong (such as: polynomial does not have degree d, the interval provided by the other is absurd, etc.). intervalType specifies the search interval as follows: 0 = 00 = ]a,b[ 1 = 10 = [a,b[ 2 = 01 = ]a,b] 3 = 11 = [a,b] This defaults to 0. The last non-zero item in the Habicht sequence is the gcd of P and P'. The parameter divideGCD specifies whether the program should attempt to divide by the gcd and run again. It works better with polynomials known to have high multiplicities. When divideGCD != 0 then it attempts to divide by the GCD, if applicable. This defaults to 0. Compared to the Sturm solver the Habicht solver is slower, although both are O(d^2). The Habicht solver has the added benefit that it has a built in mechanism to keep the leading coefficients of the result from polynomial division bounded above and below in absolute value. This will tend to keep the coefficients of the polynomials in the sequence from zeroing out prematurely or becoming infinite. Constructing the Habicht sequence is O(d^2) in both time and space. Warning: it is the user's responsibility to make sure the upperBnds array is large enough to contain the maximal number of expected roots. Note that nr is smaller or equal to the actual number of roots in ]a[0] ; a[1]] since roots within are lumped in the same bracket. array is large enough to contain the maximal number of expected upper bounds.

int  d,
double upperBnds,

)
static

This uses the derivative sequence to filter possible roots of a polynomial. First it sorts the roots and removes any duplicates. If the number of sign changes of the derivative sequence at a root at upperBnds[i] == that at upperBnds[i] - diameter then the i^th value is removed from upperBnds. It returns the new number of roots.

static

Seeks all REAL roots of the d -th degree polynomial c[0] X^d + ...

  • c[d-1] X + c[d] = 0 equation Lin-Bairstow's method ( polynomial coefficients are REAL ) and stores the nr roots found ( multiple roots are multiply stored ) in r. tolerance is the user-defined solver tolerance; this variable may be relaxed by the iterative solver if needed. Returns nr. Warning: it is the user's responsibility to make sure the r array is large enough to contain the maximal number of expected roots.
static int vtkPolynomialSolversUnivariate::FerrariSolve ( double c,
double r,
int m,
double  tol 
)
static

Algebraically extracts REAL roots of the quartic polynomial with REAL coefficients X^4 + c[0] X^3 + c[1] X^2 + c[2] X + c[3] and stores them (when they exist) and their respective multiplicities in the r and m arrays, based on Ferrari's method. Some numerical noise can be filtered by the use of a tolerance tol instead of equality with 0 (one can use, e.g., VTK_DBL_EPSILON). Returns the number of roots. Warning: it is the user's responsibility to pass a non-negative tol.

static int vtkPolynomialSolversUnivariate::TartagliaCardanSolve ( double c,
double r,
int m,
double  tol 
)
static

Algebraically extracts REAL roots of the cubic polynomial with REAL coefficients X^3 + c[0] X^2 + c[1] X + c[2] and stores them (when they exist) and their respective multiplicities in the r and m arrays. Some numerical noise can be filtered by the use of a tolerance tol instead of equality with 0 (one can use, e.g., VTK_DBL_EPSILON). The main differences with SolveCubic are that (1) the polynomial must have unit leading coefficient, (2) complex roots are discarded upfront, (3) non-simple roots are stored only once, along with their respective multiplicities, and (4) some numerical noise is filtered by the use of relative tolerance instead of equality with 0. Returns the number of roots. In memoriam Niccolo Tartaglia (1500 - 1559), unfairly forgotten.
