VINCENT'S THEOREM OF 1836: OVERVIEW AND FUTURE RESEARCH
º º Ö Ø ×

In this paper, we present two different versions of Vincent's theorem of 1836 and discuss various real root isolation
methods derived from them: one using continued fractions and two using bisections, the former being the fastest
real root isolation method. Regarding the continued fractions method, we first show how, using a recently developed
quadratic complexity bound on the values of the positive roots of polynomials, its performance has been improved by
an average of 40% over its initial implementation, and then we indicate directions for future research. Bibliography:
