MPSolve (Multiprecision Polynomial Solver) is a package for the approximation of the roots of a univariate polynomial. It uses the Aberth method.[1]

"Mpsolve takes advantage of sparsity, and has special hooks for polynomials that can be evaluated efficiently by straight-line programs"[2]

Implementation

The program is written in ANSI C and makes use of the GNU Multi-Precision Library. It uses command line interface (CLI).

Usage

The executable program of the package is called unisolve (univariate polynomial solver). It can be run from command line in console.

Output

Typically output will be on the screen. It may also be saved as a text file (with res extension) and plotted in gnuplot.
