In this work, we applied the classical numerical method of the secant in the p-adic case to calculate the cubic root of a p-adic number $ainmathbb{Q}_{p}^{ast }$ where $p$ is a prime number, and this through the calculation of the approximate solution of the equation $x^{3}-a=0$. We also determined the rate of convergence of this method and evaluated the number of iterations obtained in each step of the approximation. Computing both the cubic root and other roots of a p-adic number is useful both for their theoretical values as for their theoretical applications in the field of theoretical computer science and cryptography.
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.
