ABSTRACT

Bairstow method of solving algebraic equations An iterative method for finding quadratic factors of a polynomial. The goal being to obtain complex roots that are conjugate pairs.

Banach algebra An algebra over the complex numbers with a norm ‖ · ‖, under which it is a Banach space and such that

‖xy‖ ≤ ‖x‖‖y‖ for all x, y ∈ B. If B is an algebra over the real numbers, thenB is called a real Banach algebra.
