A Matlab Algorithm for the Resolution of Fourth Degree Equations

  • Alessia Donato Department of Economics, University of Messina

Abstract

In this article,  we propose  an algorithm for the resolution of fourth degree equations,  explicitly showing the solution method used, and we compare the results ob- tained with the Matlab “root” command.
