## Class BracketingNthOrderBrentSolverDFP

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.dfp.BracketingNthOrderBrentSolverDFP

-     public class BracketingNthOrderBrentSolverDFP
      extends Object

  This class implements a modification of the Brent algorithm.

  The changes with respect to the original Brent algorithm are:

  - the returned value is chosen in the current interval according to user specified `AllowedSolution`,
  - the maximal order for the invert polynomial root search is user-specified instead of being invert quadratic only
  The given interval must bracket the root.

    - #### BracketingNthOrderBrentSolverDFP

          public BracketingNthOrderBrentSolverDFP(Dfp relativeAccuracy,
                                          Dfp absoluteAccuracy,
                                          Dfp functionValueAccuracy,
                                          int maximalOrder)
                                           throws NumberIsTooSmallException

      Construct a solver.
      Parameters:
        `relativeAccuracy` - Relative accuracy.
        `absoluteAccuracy` - Absolute accuracy.
        `functionValueAccuracy` - Function value accuracy.
        `maximalOrder` - maximal order.
      Throws:
        `NumberIsTooSmallException` - if maximal order is lower than 2

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getMaximalOrder

          public int getMaximalOrder()

      Get the maximal order.
      Returns:
        maximal order

    - #### getMaxEvaluations

          public int getMaxEvaluations()

      Get the maximal number of function evaluations.
      Returns:
        the maximal number of function evaluations.

    - #### getEvaluations

          public int getEvaluations()

      Get the number of evaluations of the objective function. The number of evaluations corresponds to the last call to the `optimize` method. It is 0 if the method has not been called yet.
      Returns:
        the number of evaluations of the objective function.

    - #### getAbsoluteAccuracy

          public Dfp getAbsoluteAccuracy()

      Get the absolute accuracy.
      Returns:
        absolute accuracy

    - #### getRelativeAccuracy

          public Dfp getRelativeAccuracy()

      Get the relative accuracy.
      Returns:
        relative accuracy

    - #### getFunctionValueAccuracy

          public Dfp getFunctionValueAccuracy()

      Get the function accuracy.
      Returns:
        function accuracy

    - #### solve

          public Dfp solve(int maxEval,
                  UnivariateDfpFunction f,
                  Dfp min,
                  Dfp max,
                  AllowedSolution allowedSolution)
                    throws NullArgumentException,
                           NoBracketingException

      Solve for a zero 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:
        `maxEval` - Maximum number of evaluations.
        `f` - Function to solve.
        `min` - Lower bound for the interval.
        `max` - Upper bound for the interval.
        `allowedSolution` - The kind of solutions that the root-finding algorithm may accept as solutions.
      Returns:
        a value where the function is zero.
      Throws:
        `NullArgumentException` - if f is null.
        `NoBracketingException` - if root cannot be bracketed

    - #### solve

          public Dfp solve(int maxEval,
                  UnivariateDfpFunction f,

                           NoBracketingException

      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:
        `maxEval` - Maximum number of evaluations.
        `f` - Function to solve.
        `min` - Lower bound for the interval.
        `max` - Upper bound for the interval.
        `startValue` - Start value to use.
        `allowedSolution` - The kind of solutions that the root-finding algorithm may accept as solutions.
