Detailed Description

This class implements the Brent method to find the root of a function located within two bounds. No knowledge of the derivative is required.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

math_BracketedRoot::math_BracketedRoot	(	math_Function &	F,
		const Standard_Real	Bound1,
		const Standard_Real	Bound2,
		const Standard_Real	Tolerance,
		const Standard_Integer	NbIterations = 100,
		const Standard_Real	ZEPS = 1.0e-12
	)

The Brent method is used to find the root of the function F between the bounds Bound1 and Bound2 on the function F. If F(Bound1)*F(Bound2) >0 the Brent method fails. The tolerance required for the root is given by Tolerance. The solution is found when : abs(Xi - Xi-1) <= Tolerance; The maximum number of iterations allowed is given by NbIterations.

Member Function Documentation

void math_BracketedRoot::Dump

(

Standard_OStream &

o

)

const

Prints on the stream o information on the current state of the object.

Standard_Boolean math_BracketedRoot::IsDone

(

)

const

Returns true if the computations are successful, otherwise returns false.

Standard_Integer math_BracketedRoot::NbIterations

(

)

const

returns the number of iterations really done during the computation of the Root. Exception NotDone is raised if the minimum was not found.

Standard_Real math_BracketedRoot::Root

(

)

const

returns the value of the root. Exception NotDone is raised if the minimum was not found.

Standard_Real math_BracketedRoot::Value

(

)

const

returns the value of the function at the root. Exception NotDone is raised if the minimum was not found.
