Abstract

In this paper we present new local and semilocal convergence theorems for the two-point Weierstrass method for the simultaneous computation of polynomial zeros. Our local convergence result improves and complements the previous one obtained by Kanno et al. (Jpn J Indus Appl Math 13, 267–288, 1996).
