// Class description:
//
// G4AnalyticalPolSolver allows the user to solve analytically a polynomial
// equation up to the 4th order. This is used by CSG solid tracking functions
// like G4Torus.
//
// The algorithm has been adapted from the CACM Algorithm 326:
//
//   Roots of low order polynomials
//   Author: Terence R.F.Nonweiler
//   CACM  (Apr 1968) p269
//   Translated into C and programmed by M.Dow

//
// Suite of procedures for finding the (complex) roots of the quadratic,
// cubic or quartic polynomials by explicit algebraic methods.
// Each Returns:
//
//   x=r[1][k] + i r[2][k]  k=1,...,n, where n={2,3,4}
//
// as roots of:
// sum_{k=0:n} p[k] x^(n-k) = 0
// Assumes p[0] != 0. (< or > 0) (overflows otherwise)
