      public class LaguerreSolver
      extends AbstractPolynomialSolver

  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. The algorithm requires a bracketing condition.

    - #### doSolve

          public double doSolve()
                         throws TooManyEvaluationsException,
                                NumberIsTooLargeException,
                                NoBracketingException

      Method for implementing actual optimization algorithms in derived classes.
      Specified by:
        `doSolve` in class `BaseAbstractUnivariateSolver<PolynomialFunction>`
      Returns:
        the root.
      Throws:
        `TooManyEvaluationsException` - if the maximal number of evaluations is exceeded.
        `NoBracketingException` - if the initial search interval does not bracket a root and the solver requires it.
        `NumberIsTooLargeException`

    - #### laguerre

          @Deprecated
          public double laguerre(double lo,
                                   double hi,
                                   double fLo,
                                   double fHi)

      Deprecated. This method should not be part of the public API: It will be made private in version 4.0.
      Find a real root in the given interval. Despite the bracketing condition, the root returned by `LaguerreSolver.ComplexSolver.solve(Complex[],Complex)` may not be a real zero inside `[min, max]`. For example, `p(x) = x3 + 1,` with `min = -2`, `max = 2`, `initial = 0`. When it occurs, this code calls `LaguerreSolver.ComplexSolver.solveAll(Complex[],Complex)` in order to obtain all roots and picks up one real root.
      Parameters:
        `lo` - Lower bound of the search interval.
        `hi` - Higher bound of the search interval.
        `fLo` - Function value at the lower bound of the search interval.
        `fHi` - Function value at the higher bound of the search interval.
      Returns:
        the point at which the function value is zero.

    - #### solveAllComplex

          public Complex[] solveAllComplex(double[] coefficients,
                                  double initial)
                                    throws NullArgumentException,
                                           NoDataException,
                                           TooManyEvaluationsException

      Find all complex roots for the polynomial with the given coefficients, starting from the given initial value.
      Note: This method is not part of the API of `BaseUnivariateSolver`.
      Parameters:
        `coefficients` - Polynomial coefficients.
        `initial` - Start value.
      Returns:

        `NullArgumentException` - if the `coefficients` is `null`.
        `NoDataException` - if the `coefficients` array is empty.
