Smale's Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Reconsidered
In his 1981 Fundamental Theorem of Algebra paper Steve Smale initiated the complexity theory of finding a solution of polynomial equations of one complex variable by a variant of Newton's method. In this paper we reconsider his algorithm in the light of work done in the intervening years. Smale...
