Poles of AR estimator

Started by Arthur Herbert October 26, 2004
Hi,
I am workin on a LPC AR estimator and i need to compute each of its poles.
The denominator is a complex coefficients polynom of 120 degrees one.
Does anyone knows a way to find the roots of a complex coef. polynomial ?

Thx to those who can help

Can you use Muller's Method?

I used Laguerre's method for complex polynomials of orders in the range 10 to 20. I don't know how well the numerics would work for polynomials of orders 100+. When I read up on those things, I saw a lot of refernces to something called the "Bulrich (spelling?) & Stoer (spelling?)" method. It seemed to be the method of choise for anybody who was seriuos about numerics, but I never found any material that showed how the method works. Rune

This might help, or might be complete overkill (they factored polynomials up to a degree of 1 000 000): http://www.dsp.rice.edu/software/fvhdp.shtml Regards, Andor
