- A Fast and Robust Solution for Cubic and Higher-order Polynomials

Abstract:
We present a computationally-efficient and numerically-robust method for finding real roots of cubic and higher-order polynomials. It begins with determining the intervals where a given polynomial is monotonic. Then, the existence of a real root within each interval can be quickly identified. If one exists, we find the root using a stable variant of Newton iterations, providing fast and guaranteed convergence and satisfying the given error bound.
