Polynomial equations (after D.B. Steinman):

The equation: m*xn = a*x(n-1) + b*x(n-2) + c*x(n-3) + d*x(n-4) ………

The solution:
x1 = {a + 2*b/x0 + 3*c/ x02 + 4*d/ x03 + …..}/{m + b/x02 + 2*c/x03 + 3*d/ x04 +….}

where: x0 = old value of x, and x1 the new value.

x1 = 3.5 *x3 = 2.5 *x2 + 1.75 *x1 + 0.5

First assume a value of ‘x0’, compute ‘x1’, set ‘x1’ as ‘x0’ to obtain a new value of ‘x1’,
use this new value to obtain a newer value of ‘x1’.
