Multiple-root polynomial solved by partial fraction expansion 1.0

A given polynomial p(x) is transformed into a rational function r(x). The poles and residues of the derived rational function are found to be equivalent to the roots and multiplicities of the original polynomial. p(x) = Given polynomial = PROD[k=1:K]{(x - z_k)^m_k} d(x) = (d/dx)p(x) g(x) = GCD(p(x),d(x)) u(x) = p(x)/g(x) w(x) = (d/dx)u(x) v(x) = d(x)/g(x) r(x) = v(x)/u(x) = SUM[k=1:K]{m_k/(x - z_k)}Thus, the roots z_k are computed from solving the simple-root polynomial u(x)=0, instead of the original multiple-root polynomial p(x)=0; and the multiplicities m_k are determined as the partial fraction expansion coefficients of the derived rational function r(x)=v(x)/u(x), z_k = Roots(u(x)), k=1,K m_k = v(z_k)/w(z_k), k=1,K In addition, re-constructing a polynomial pz(x) from the computed z_k and m_k, the overall deviation error of the original polynomial p(x) is calculated, er = Norm(pz - p)/Norm(p) The polynomial GCD is calculated from "Monic polynomial subtraction" derived from the longhand polynomial division in classical Euclidean GCD algorithm. It requirs only simple algebric operations without any high mathematics. The source code contains total of only 43 lines, using merely basic built-in MATLAB functions, and applying only existing double precision. Amazingly, it gives the expected results of test polynomials of very high degree , such as p(x) = (x - 123456789)^30 p(x) = (x + 100)^20 * (100x-1)^10 p(x) = (x+1)^40 * (x-2)^30 * (x+3)^20 * (x-4)^10 p(x) = (x + 1)^1000 ______________________________________________________ The code is list here for reader's convenince.
