Solution

Algorithm based on simultaneous iterations (Aberth's method) with cluster analysis (see [1]).

Program in Fortran 90 based on the multiprecision package MPFUN, by D. Bailey.

Machine used: IBM Risc 6000.

Time for Newton-isolating all the roots: for tex2html_wrap_inline105 , 0.9 seconds; for tex2html_wrap_inline97 , 1.3 seconds; for tex2html_wrap_inline101 , 5 seconds.

Time for Newton-isolating all the roots of modulus greater than 1: for tex2html_wrap_inline105 , 0.3 seconds; for tex2html_wrap_inline97 , 0.34 seconds; for tex2html_wrap_inline101 , 0.44 seconds.
