class ROOT::Math::BrentRootFinder: public ROOT::Math::IRootFinderMethod


   User class for finding function roots.

   It will use the Brent Method for finding function roots in a given interval.
   This class is implemented from TF1::GetX() method.

Function documentation

virtual ~BrentRootFinder()

 Default Destructor.

BrentRootFinder(const ROOT::Math::BrentRootFinder& )

 Default Constructor.

int SetFunction(const ROOT::Math::IGenFunction& f, double xlow, double xup)

int Solve(int maxIter = 100, double absTol = 1E-3, double relTol = 1E-6)

 Returns the X value corresponding to the function value fy for (xmin<x<xmax).
          Method:
          First, the grid search is used to bracket the maximum
          with the step size = (xmax-xmin)/fNpx. This way, the step size
          can be controlled via the SetNpx() function. If the function is
          unimodal or if its extrema are far apart, setting the fNpx to
          a small value speeds the algorithm up many times.
          Then, Brent's method is applied on the bracketed interval.

          \@param maxIter maximum number of iterations.
          \@param absTol desired absolute error in the minimum position.
          \@param absTol desired relative error in the minimum position.

double Root()

 Returns root value. Need to call first Solve().

const char* Name()

 Return name of root finder algorithm ("BrentRootFinder").
