And theoretically very interesting. > For the given complex interval (complex rectilinear region and sides are > parallel to the x-y axis), the procedure gives the count of the complex > roots of the polynomial inside the interval. Thus, successive bi-section > or quad-section of the interval can give the sequence of the shrinking > intervals containing the root inside to attain the required accuracies. > The source code is written mostly Fortran77 language, however some > violations are intensionally left as: 1: The DO-ENDDO loop structure. > 2: The longer than 6 letter names. 3: The use of under-score letter. > 4: The use of include statement. > The code will be placed in the public domain. >
