Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool for carrying out complex calculations. If you work on Excel, then you might come across performing mathematical operations almost every day. Sometimes, we face ...

I also hinted that I had a killer solution to the root-finding problem, and promised to show it to you some day. That day has arrived. I first wrote about this problem in 1994.[1,2,3] Those of you ...

Locating scattering resonances is a standard task in certain areas of physics and engineering. This often can be reduced to finding zeros of complex analytic functions. In this talk, I will discuss a ...

The stochastic root-finding problem is that of finding a zero of a vector-valued function known only through a stochastic simulation. The simulation-optimization problem is that of locating a ...
