In 1977, Nourein (Intern. J. Comput. Math. 6:3, 1977) constructed a fourth-order iterative method for finding all zeros of a polynomial simultaneously. This method is also known as Ehrlich’s method with Newton’s correction because it is obtained by combining Ehrlich’s method (Commun. ACM 10:2, 1967) and the classical Newton’s method. The paper provides a detailed local convergence analysis of a well-known but not well-studied generalization of Nourein’s method for simultaneous finding of multiple polynomial zeros. As a consequence, we obtain two types of local convergence theorems as well as semilocal convergence theorems (with verifiable initial condition and a posteriori error bound) for the classical Nourein’s method. Each of the new semilocal convergence results improves the result of Petković, Petković and Rančić (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 205:1, 2007) in several directions. The paper ends with several examples that show the applicability of our semilocal convergence theorems.

One of the famous third-order iterative methods for finding simultaneously all the zeros of a polynomial was introduced by Ehrlich in 1967. In this paper, we construct a new family of high-order iterative methods as a combination of Ehrlich’s iteration function and an arbitrary iteration function. We call these methods Ehrlich’s methods with correction. The paper provides a detailed local convergence analysis of presented iterative methods for a large class of iteration functions. As a consequence, we obtain two types of local convergence theorems as well as semilocal convergence theorems (with computer verifiable initial condition). As special cases of the main results, we study the convergence of several particular iterative methods. The paper ends with some experiments that show the applicability of our semilocal convergence theorems.

We present a local convergence analysis for some families of fourth and sixth-order methods in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting.

Algorithms 64(1) (2013) 105–126] have used hypotheses on the fourth Fréchet derivative of the operator involved. We use hypotheses only on the first Fréchet derivative in our local convergence analysis. This way, the applicability of these methods is extended. Moreover the radius of convergence and computable error bounds on the distances involved are also given in this study. Numerical examples illustrating the theoretical results are also presented in this study.

In 1984, Wang and Zheng (J. Comput. Math. 1984, 1, 70–76) introduced a new fourth order iterative method for the simultaneous computation of all zeros of a polynomial. In this paper, we present new local and semilocal convergence theorems with error estimates for Wang–Zheng’s method. Our results improve the earlier ones due to Wang and Wu (Computing 1987, 38, 75–87) and Petković, Petković, and Rančić (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 2007, 205, 32–52).

Current computational capabilities facilitate the application of finite element analysis (FEA) to three-dimensional geometries to determine peak stresses. The three-dimensional stress concentrations so quantified are useful in practice provided the discretization error attending their determination with finite elements has been sufficiently controlled. Here, we provide some convergence checks and companion a posteriori error estimates that can be used to verify such three-dimensional FEA, and thus enable engineers to control discretization errors. These checks are designed to promote conservative error estimation. They are applied to twelve three-dimensional test problems that have exact solutions for their peak stresses. Error levels in the FEA of these peak stresses are classified in accordance with: 1–5%, satisfactory; 1/5–1%, good; and <1/5%, excellent. The present convergence checks result in 111 error assessments for the test problems. For these 111, errors are assessed as being at the same level as true exact errors on 99 occasions, one level worse for the other 12. Hence, stress error estimation that is largely reasonably accurate (89%), and otherwise modestly conservative (11%).
