Methods

impl PolyComplex

fn new(n: usize) -> Option<PolyComplex>

This function allocates space for a gsl_poly_complex_workspace struct and a workspace suitable for solving a polynomial with n coefficients using the routine gsl_poly_complex_solve.

The function returns a pointer to the newly allocated gsl_poly_complex_workspace if no errors were detected, and a null pointer in the case of error.

fn solve(&mut self, a: &[f64], z: &mut [f64]) -> Value

This function computes the roots of the general polynomial P(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x² + ... + a_{n-1} x^{n-1} using balanced-QR reduction of the companion matrix. The parameter n specifies the length of the coefficient array. The coefficient of the highest order term must be non-zero. The function requires a workspace w of the appropriate size. The n-1 roots are returned in the packed complex array z of length 2(n-1), alternating real and imaginary parts.

The function returns Success if all the roots are found. If the QR reduction does not converge, the error handler is invoked with an error code of Failed. Note that due to finite precision, roots of higher multiplicity are returned as a cluster of simple roots with reduced accuracy. The solution of polynomials with higher-order roots requires specialized algorithms that take the multiplicity structure into account (see e.g. Z. Zeng, Algorithm 835, ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, Volume 30, Issue 2 (2004), pp 218–236).
