I'd just like to report a possible R bug--or rather, confirm an existing one
(bug #751).
I have had some difficulty using the polyroot() function.
For example, in Win 98, R 1.1.1,
> polyroot(c(2,1,1))
correctly (per the help index) gives the roots of 1 + (1*x) + (2*x^2) as
[1] -0.5+1.322876i -0.5-1.322876i
However,
> polyroot(c(-100,0,1))
gives the roots of
[1] 10+0i -10+0i
which corresponds to -100 + x^2, not 1 - (100*x^2).
Also,
> polyroot(c(0,0,0,1))
gives
[1] 0+0i 0+0i -10+0i
which aren't all roots of x^3.
Thanks for all your efforts.
I apologize if I'm missing something.
