All Implemented Interfaces:

BaseUnivariateSolver<UnivariateFunction>, UnivariateSolver

public class BrentSolver
extends AbstractUnivariateSolver

This class implements the Brent algorithm for finding zeros of real univariate functions. The function should be continuous but not necessarily smooth. The solve method returns a zero x of the function f in the given interval [a, b] to within a tolerance 2 eps abs(x) + t where eps is the relative accuracy and t is the absolute accuracy.

The given interval must bracket the root.

The reference implementation is given in chapter 4 of

Algorithms for Minimization Without Derivatives, Richard P. Brent, Dover, 2002
