During our research we came up with the problem of computing the root of a polynomial of degree ≥5 exactly. The coefficients are, except for the linear and constant term, all non-negative and there are only terms with even degree. The only thing we know is that there formulas for a degree up to 4 and no formula for a higher degree, but is it possible to compute the roots of a higher-degree polynomial exactly, too? If so, what is the complexity?
Here is some more information:
The equation looks like A(n)−x−a0=0 for some arbitrary integral n. Thereby, A(0)=x and A(i)=ai⋅A(i−1)⋅(A(i−1)+bi) for i∈{1,…,n}. All the values ai,bi are non-negative real numbers for i∈{1,…,n} whereas a0 is arbitrary.
