For the roots α 1 , α 2 , α 3 , α 4 of g ( w ) = 0 and the roots θ 1 , θ 2 , θ 3 of the resolvent cubic equation

  • (a)

    In the general case, given by c d 0 , we compute the roots α , β , γ , say, of the cubic equation 4 t 3 - c t - d = 0 ; see §1.11(iii). These roots are necessarily distinct and represent e 1 , e 2 , e 3 in some order.

    If c and d are real, and the discriminant is positive, that is c 3 - 27 d 2 > 0 , then e 1 , e 2 , e 3 can be identified via (23.5.1), and k 2 , k 2 obtained from (23.6.16).

    If c 3 - 27 d 2 < 0 , or c and d are not both real, then we label α , β , γ so that the triangle with vertices α , β , γ is positively oriented and [ α , γ ] is its longest side (chosen arbitrarily if there is more than one). In particular, if α , β , γ are collinear, then we label them so that β is on the line segment ( α , γ ) . In consequence, k 2 = ( β - γ ) / ( α - γ ) , k 2 = ( α - β ) / ( α - γ ) satisfy k 2 0 k 2 (with strict inequality unless α , β , γ are collinear); also | k 2 | , | k 2 | 1 .

    Finally, on taking the principal square roots of k 2 and k 2 we obtain values for k and k that lie in the 1st and 4th quadrants, respectively, and 2 ω 1 , 2 ω 3 are given by

    23.22.1 2 ω 1 M ( 1 , k ) = - 2 i ω 3 M ( 1 , k ) = π 3 c ( 2 + k 2 k 2 ) ( k 2 - k 2 ) d ( 1 - k 2 k 2 ) ,

    where M denotes the arithmetic-geometric mean (see §§19.8(i) and 22.20(ii)). This process yields 2 possible pairs ( 2 ω 1 , 2 ω 3 ), corresponding to the 2 possible choices of the square root.

    §10.74(ii) Differential Equations
    A comprehensive and powerful approach is to integrate the differential equations (10.2.1) and (10.25.1) by direct numerical methods. As described in §3.7(ii), to insure stability the integration path must be chosen in such a way that as we proceed along it the wanted solution grows in magnitude at least as fast as all other solutions of the differential equation. … For further information, including parallel methods for solving the differential equations, see Lozier and Olver (1993). … Newton’s rule is quadratically convergent and Halley’s rule is cubically convergent. …
