Automatic error bounds on real zeros of rational functions

Published: 01 November 1966 Publication History

Abstract

A procedure for implementing an interval arithmetic version of the Newton-Raphson method is proposed. The procedure requires only a starting interval over which the zeros of a given rational function are to be located. The method automatically provides bounds for roundoff error.
