public class LaguerreSolver
extends UnivariateRealSolverImpl

Implements the Laguerre's Method for root finding of real coefficient polynomials. For reference, see A First Course in Numerical Analysis, ISBN 048641454X, chapter 8.

Laguerre's method is global in the sense that it can start with any initial approximation and be able to solve all roots from that point.

LaguerreSolver

@Deprecated
public LaguerreSolver(UnivariateRealFunction f)
               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

as of 2.0 the function to solve is passed as an argument to the solve(UnivariateRealFunction, double, double) or UnivariateRealSolver.solve(UnivariateRealFunction, double, double, double) method.

Construct a solver for the given function.

Parameters:

f - function to solve

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if function is not polynomial

in 2.2 (to be removed in 3.0)

Method Detail

getPolynomialFunction

@Deprecated
public PolynomialFunction getPolynomialFunction()

Deprecated.

as of 2.0 the function is not stored anymore within the instance.

Returns a copy of the polynomial function.

Returns:

a fresh copy of the polynomial function

solve

@Deprecated
public double solve(double min,
                    double max)
             throws ConvergenceException,
                    FunctionEvaluationException

Deprecated.

Solve for a zero root in the given interval.

A solver may require that the interval brackets a single zero root. Solvers that do require bracketing should be able to handle the case where one of the endpoints is itself a root.

Parameters:

min - the lower bound for the interval.

max - the upper bound for the interval.

Returns:

a value where the function is zero

Throws:

ConvergenceException - if the maximum iteration count is exceeded or the solver detects convergence problems otherwise.

FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function

                    FunctionEvaluationException

Deprecated.

Solve for a zero in the given interval, start at startValue.

A solver may require that the interval brackets a single zero root. Solvers that do require bracketing should be able to handle the case where one of the endpoints is itself a root.

Parameters:

min - the lower bound for the interval.

max - the upper bound for the interval.

initial - the start value to use

Returns:

a value where the function is zero

Throws:

ConvergenceException - if the maximum iteration count is exceeded or the solver detects convergence problems otherwise.

min - the lower bound for the interval

max - the upper bound for the interval

initial - the start value to use

             throws ConvergenceException,
                    FunctionEvaluationException

Find a real root in the given interval.

Despite the bracketing condition, the root returned by solve(Complex[], Complex) may not be a real zero inside [min, max]. For example, p(x) = x^3 + 1, min = -2, max = 2, initial = 0. We can either try another initial value, or, as we did here, call solveAll() to obtain all roots and pick up the one that we're looking for.

f - the function to solve

min - the lower bound for the interval

max - the upper bound for the interval

maxEval - Maximum number of evaluations.
