public class PegasusSolver
extends BaseSecantSolver

Implements the Pegasus method for root-finding (approximating a zero of a univariate real function). It is a modified Regula Falsi method.

Like the Regula Falsi method, convergence is guaranteed by maintaining a bracketed solution. The Pegasus method however, should converge much faster than the original Regula Falsi method. Furthermore, this implementation of the Pegasus method should not suffer from the same implementation issues as the Regula Falsi method, which may fail to convergence in certain cases. Also, the Pegasus method should converge faster than the Illinois method, another Regula Falsi-based method.

The Pegasus method assumes that the function is continuous, but not necessarily smooth.

Implementation 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.
