Answer by Lutz Lehmann for An apparently new method to compute the $n$th root...

If $|x|<1$ then the binomial series for the n-th root reads as$$(1+x)^{\frac1n}=1+\frac1n x+\frac{\frac1n(\frac1n-1)}2x^2+…$$which shows that the given formula is an approximation to the truncation...

If one allows successive approximation methods (which indeed should be fair game for numerical solutions), then Newton-Raphson has been known for a long time already.The iteration you quote seems to be...

An apparently new method to compute the $n$th root of any complex number

I found  a series of articles (in Portuguese) by a Brazilian mathematician named Ludenir Santos, where presents a series of iterative methods, he said new, to extract nth roots of any complex number...
