Abstract:

A very simple rigorous procedure is derived for computing the Brouwer degree in ${R^2}$, a generalization of the zero-counting integral $\oint {f’(z)\;dz/f(z)}$, for functions which are Lipschitz continuous on a piecewise linear path of integration, using only computed or observed values of $f(z)$, a bound for the error in them, and a bound for the Lipschitz constant. It is used to locate zeros and to test the numerical significance of zeros found by other methods.
