Method Detail

solve

@Deprecated
public double solve(double min,
                    double max)
             throws MaxIterationsExceededException,
                    FunctionEvaluationException

Deprecated.

Solve for a zero root 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.

Parameters:

min - the lower bound for the interval.

max - the upper bound for the interval.

Returns:

a value where the function is zero

Throws:

FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function

MaxIterationsExceededException

solve

@Deprecated
public double solve(double min,
                    double max,
                    double initial)
             throws MaxIterationsExceededException,
                    FunctionEvaluationException

Deprecated.

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.

Parameters:

min - the lower bound for the interval.

max - the upper bound for the interval.

initial - the start value to use

Returns:

a value where the function is zero

Throws:

FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function

MaxIterationsExceededException

Deprecated.

in 2.2 (to be removed in 3.0).

Find a zero in the given interval with an initial guess.

Throws IllegalArgumentException if the values of the function at the three points have the same sign (note that it is allowed to have endpoints with the same sign if the initial point has opposite sign function-wise).

Parameters:

min - the lower bound for the interval.

max - the upper bound for the interval.

initial - the start value to use (must be set to min if no initial point is known).

Returns:

the value where the function is zero

Throws:

MaxIterationsExceededException - the maximum iteration count is exceeded

FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if initial is not between min and max (even if it is a root)
