All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

IllinoisSolver, PegasusSolver, RegulaFalsiSolver

public abstract class BaseSecantSolver
extends AbstractUnivariateSolver
implements BracketedUnivariateSolver<UnivariateFunction>

Base class for all bracketing Secant-based methods for root-finding (approximating a zero of a univariate real function).

Implementation of the Regula Falsi and Illinois methods is based on the following article: M. Dowell and P. Jarratt, A modified regula falsi method for computing the root of an equation, BIT Numerical Mathematics, volume 11, number 2, pages 168-174, Springer, 1971.

Implementation of the Pegasus method is based on the following article: M. Dowell and P. Jarratt, The "Pegasus" method for computing the root of an equation, BIT Numerical Mathematics, volume 12, number 4, pages 503-508, Springer, 1972.

The Secant method is not a bracketing method, so it is not implemented here. It has a separate implementation.

Method Detail

solve

public double solve(int maxEval,
                    UnivariateFunction f,
                    double min,
                    double max,
                    AllowedSolution allowedSolution)

Solve for a zero in the given interval. A solver may require that the interval brackets a single zero root. Solvers that do require bracketing should be able to handle the case where one of the endpoints is itself a root.

Specified by:

solve in interface BracketedUnivariateSolver<UnivariateFunction>

Parameters:

maxEval - Maximum number of evaluations.

f - Function to solve.

min - Lower bound for the interval.

max - Upper bound for the interval.

allowedSolution - The kind of solutions that the root-finding algorithm may accept as solutions.

Returns:

A value where the function is zero.

                    AllowedSolution allowedSolution)

Solve for a zero in the given interval, start at startValue. A solver may require that the interval brackets a single zero root. Solvers that do require bracketing should be able to handle the case where one of the endpoints is itself a root.
