Class root_cern (o2scl)¶

template<class func_t = funct> class root_cern : public o2scl::root<funct>¶

One-dimensional version of cern_mroot.

This one-dimensional root-finding routine, based on o2scl::mroot_cern, is probably slower than the more typical 1-d routines, but also tends to converge for a larger class of functions than o2scl::root_bkt_cern, o2scl::root_brent_gsl, or o2scl::root_stef. It has been modified from o2scl::mroot_cern and slightly optimized, but has the same basic behavior.

If \( x_i \) denotes the current iteration, and \( x^{\prime}_i \) denotes the previous iteration, then the calculation is terminated if either (or both) of the following tests is successful

\[ 1:\quad \mathrm{max} | f_i(x) | \leq \mathrm{tol\_rel} \]

\[ 2:\quad \mathrm{max} |x_i-x^{\prime}_i| \leq \mathrm{tol\_abs} \times \mathrm{max} | x_i | \]

See the One-dimensional solvers section of the User’s guide for general information about O2scl solvers.

Todo

class root_cern

Future:

Double-check this class to make sure it cannot fail while returning 0 for success.

Note

This class has difficulty finding the root when the desired root is near 0 (AWS 1/22/19)

Note

This code has not been checked to ensure that it cannot fail to solve the equations without calling the error handler and returning a non-zero value. Until then, the solution may need to be checked explicitly by the caller.

Public Functions

inline root_cern()¶

inline virtual ~root_cern()¶

inline int get_info()¶

Get the value of INFO from the last call to solve() (default 0)

The value of info is assigned according to the following list. The values 1-8 are the standard behavior from CERNLIB. 0 - The function solve()

has not been called. 1 - Test 1 was successful.

2 - Test 2 was successful.

3 - Both tests were successful.

4 - Number of iterations is greater than

root_cern::maxf

5 - Approximate (finite difference) Jacobian matrix is singular.

6 - Iterations are not making good progress.

7 - Iterations are diverging.

8 - Iterations are converging, but either root_cern::tol_abs

is too small or the Jacobian is nearly singular or the variables are badly scaled.

9 - Either

root::tol_rel or root::tol_abs is not greater than zero.

inline virtual const char *type()¶: Return the type, "root_cern".

inline virtual int solve(double &ux, func_t &func)¶: Solve func using x as an initial guess, returning x.

Public Members

int maxf¶

Maximum number of function evaluations.

If \( \mathrm{maxf}\leq 0 \), then 200 (which is the CERNLIB default) is used. The default value of maxf is zero which then implies the default from CERNLIB.

double scale¶: The original scale parameter from CERNLIB (default 10.0)

double eps¶

The smallest floating point number (default \( \sim 1.49012 \times 10^{-8} \))

The original prescription from CERNLIB for eps is given below:

#if !defined(CERNLIB_DOUBLE)
PARAMETER (EPS =  0.84293 69702 17878 97282 52636 392E-07)
#endif
#if defined(CERNLIB_IBM)
PARAMETER (EPS =  0.14901 16119 38476 562D-07)
#endif
#if defined(CERNLIB_VAX)
PARAMETER (EPS =  0.37252 90298 46191 40625D-08)
#endif
#if (defined(CERNLIB_UNIX))&&(defined(CERNLIB_DOUBLE))
PARAMETER (EPS =  0.14901 16119 38476 600D-07)
#endif

Future:

This number should probably default to one of the GSL tolerances.
