A survey of square-root algorithms is presented in Montuschi and Mezzalama
(1990). Parts of this chapter are based on the monograph Ercegovac and Lang
(1994) which presents an in-depth study of digit-recurrence methods for division
and square root.
Early work in square rooting algorithms with redundancy in the result-digit
set to maximize the number of zero digits is developed in Metze (1967). ...
