UnivariateRealSolver, ConvergingAlgorithm

public class SecantSolver
extends UnivariateRealSolverImpl

Implements a modified version of the secant method for approximating a zero of a real univariate function.

The algorithm is modified to maintain bracketing of a root by successive approximations. Because of forced bracketing, convergence may be slower than the unrestricted secant algorithm. However, this implementation should in general outperform the regula falsi method.

The function is assumed to be continuous but not necessarily smooth.

@Deprecated
public SecantSolver(UnivariateRealFunction f)

Deprecated.

as of 2.0 the function to solve is passed as an argument to the solve(UnivariateRealFunction, double, double) or UnivariateRealSolver.solve(UnivariateRealFunction, double, double, double) method.

Construct a solver for the given function.

Parameters:

f - function to solve.

Method Detail

solve

@Deprecated
public double solve(double min,
                    double max)
             throws ConvergenceException,
                    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:

ConvergenceException - if the maximum iteration count is exceeded or the solver detects convergence problems otherwise.

FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function

solve

@Deprecated
public double solve(double min,
                    double max,
                    double initial)
             throws ConvergenceException,
                    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:

ConvergenceException - if the maximum iteration count is exceeded or the solver detects convergence problems otherwise.

FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function
