Popis: In order to determine the extinction probability of a Markovian binary tree, it is necessary to find the minimal nonnegative solution of a quadratic vector equation. We apply the modified Newton---Shamanskii method for solving the equation. We show that the sequence of vectors generated by the modified Newton---Shamanskii method is monotonically increasing and converges to the minimal nonnegative solution of the equation. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of our method.
