Interface RootFinder

All Known Implementing Classes:

DistSurface, RootFinderTest, RootFindLinear

public interface RootFinder

Abstract interface for classes which find a root of an equation, i.e. x for which f(x) = 0. Different root-finding algorithms inherit from this base and implement methods solve(double,double) and status(). Equations are solved by inheriting from those methods and implementing method evaluate(double). It may also optionally implement method no_solution() which should return a value that the function cannot reach.
