Numerically Finding Number of Roots in an Interval of a Smooth Function involving Floor Function

55 Views Asked by At

For a lot of smooth functions, you could use the Argument Principle. However, those only work for holomorphic functions. Functions with the floor function are not holomorphic. So, given a smooth function that uses the floor function, is there a method similar to the Argument Principle, that can numerically tell the number of roots of the function in an interval?
