Constructor Detail

BracketFinder

public BracketFinder()

Constructor with default values 100, 500 (see the other constructor).

BracketFinder

public BracketFinder(double growLimit,
                     int maxEvaluations)

Create a bracketing interval finder.

Parameters:

growLimit - Expanding factor.

maxEvaluations - Maximum number of evaluations allowed for finding a bracketing interval.

Method Detail

search

public void search(UnivariateFunction func,
                   GoalType goal,
                   double xA,
                   double xB)

Search new points that bracket a local optimum of the function.

Parameters:

func - Function whose optimum should be bracketed.

goal - Goal type.

xA - Initial point.

xB - Initial point.

Throws:

MathIllegalStateException - if the maximum number of evaluations is exceeded.
