z = ln(-8/(2 + 9)) ± i2mr for n = 0, 1, 2, ...
This equation has only two complex conjugate roots z for each
integer n. Therefore use the equivalent function
f(z) = 2 - ln(-8/(2 + 9)) ± i2nir for n = 0, I, 2, ....
and apply Newton's iteration
zk + l=zk- (zk - ln(-8/(2* + 9)) ± /2mr)/(l + l/(zk + 9)).
As a first guess, choose z0 as A(n), the approximation given earlier.
A bit of algebraic rearrangement using the fact that ln(±^ = ±jV/2
leads to this formula:
= A(n) + ((zk-A(n)) + (zk + 9)ln(ilm(A(n))/(zk + 9)))/(2A + 10) .
In the program below, He(A(n)) is stored in R0 and Im(A(n)) is
stored in R^ Note that only one of each conjugate pair of roots is
calculated for each n.
