Abstract

A method for finding zeros of integer functions of finite order is proposed. This method converges to a root starting from an arbitrary initial point and, hence, is globally convergent. The method is based on a representation of higher-order derivatives of the logarithmic derivative as a sum of partial fractions and reduces the finding of a root to the choice of the minimum number from a finite set. The rate of convergence is estimated.
