Abstract. A point-iterative process similar to, but structurally simpler than, Ostrowski's square root technique is examined. This process is shown to be globally convergent monotonically to the zeros of entire functions of genus 0 and I (and in certain cases of genus 2) which are real for real arguments and have only real zeros.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
