Univariate polynomial root-finding has been studied for four millennia and very intensively in the last decades. Our {\em black box root-finder} involves no coefficients and works for a black box polynomial, defined by an oracle (that is, black box subroutine) for its evaluation. Such root-finders have various benefits, e.g., are particularly efficient where a polynomial can be evaluated fast, say, is a sum of a small number of shifted monomials (x-c)^a.

Our root-finder approximates all d complex zeros of a dth degree polynomial p(x) (aka roots of equation p(x)=0) by using Las Vegas expected number of bit-operations within a factor …
