RootFinder provides the implementation of all the standard bracketing and open root finding techniques, along with a customizable and configurable framework that separates the initilization/bracketing functionality from the eventual root search.
RootFinder achieves its design goal by implementing its functionality over several parts:
- Root Finder Framework: Framework to accommodate bracketing/open convergence initialization, execution customization/configuration, iterative variate evolution, and search termination detection
- Bracket Initialization Techniques
- Open Method Convergence Zone Initialization Techniques
- Iterative Open Methods - Newton-Raphson and Secant Methods
- Iterative Bracketing Primitive Methods: Bisection, False Position, Quadratic Interpolation, Inverse Quadratic Interpolation, and Ridder
- Iterative Bracketing Compound Methods: Brent's and Zheng's
- Samples
- Documentation
- Regression Runs
- Search Initialization Heuristics
