polynomial with complex coefficients fkt

Find roots p(z) - z=ae^(φi)

The summands of the polynomial build a vector chain (blue). A root can be found if the vector chain of the coefficients is closed - returning to the origin.
  1. increase modulus (slider a) so far to have a complete free circular disc around the point of origin Z 
  2. decrease modulus to intersect graph p(z) and origin Z=(0,0) - close vector chain 
  3. zoom graph to position Pz (slider φ) as close as possible to the origin
  4. (a ; φ ) root in polarcoordinates ==> cartesian coordinates
  5. check calculated roots in Lcpx - next intersection
