1601	 Parallel Numerical Methods for the Solution of Equations	 Classical iterative procedures for the numerical solution of equations provide at each stage a single new approximation to the root in question. A technique is given for the development of numerical procedures which provide at each stage several approximations to a solution of an equation. The s everal approximations obtained in any iteration are computationally independent making the methods of interest in a parallel processing environment. Convergence is insured by extracting the best information at each iteration. Several families of numerical procedures which use the technique of the procedures in a parallel processing environment are developed and measurements of these statistics are reported. These measurements are interpreted in a parallel processing environment. In such an environment the procedures obtained are superior to standard algorithms.
