Abstract

Homotopy continuation methods (HCMs) can be used to find the solutions
of polynomial equations. The advantages of HCMs over classical methods such as the
Newton and bisection methods are that HCMs are able to resolve divergence and starting
value problems. In this paper, we develop Super Ostrowski-HCM as a technique to
overcome the starting value problem. We compare the performance of this proposed
method with Ostrowski-HCM. The results provide evidence of the superiority of Super
Ostrowski-HCM.
