Solver

class Solver(*args)

SolverImplementation of 1D non linear equations.

Available constructor:

SolverImplementation()

SolverImplementation(solverImplementation)

SolverImplementation(absError, relError, resError, maximumFunctionEvaluation)

Parameters
solverImplementationSolverImplementationImplementation

The implementation of a particular solver which is Bisection, Brent or Secant.

absErrorpositive float

Absolute error: distance between two successive iterates at the end point. Default is 10^{-5}.

relErrorpositive float

Relative error: distance between the two last successive iterates with regards to the last iterate. Default is 10^{-5}.

resErrorpositive float

Residual error: difference between the last iterate value and the expected value. Default is 10^{-8}.

maximumFunctionEvaluationint

The maximum number of evaluations of the function. Default is 100.

Notes

This class enables to solve 1D non linear equations :

f(x) = value, \forall x \in [infPoint, supPoint]

if f is a continuous function from \Rset to \Rset, infPoint, supPoint \in \Rset and if f is such that f(infPoint) \times f(supPoint) < 0, then f has at least a zero in the interval [infPoint, supPoint]. In particular, it is used in the root research of a Directional Sampling simulation.
