It will use the Brent Method for finding function roots in a given interval. First, a grid search is used to bracket the root value with the a step size = (xmax-xmin)/npx. The step size can be controlled via the SetNpx() function. A default value of npx = 100 is used. The default value con be changed using the static method SetDefaultNpx. If the function is unimodal or if its extrema are far apart, setting the fNpx to a small value speeds the algorithm up many times. Then, Brent's method is applied on the bracketed interval. It will use the Brent Method for finding function roots in a given interval. If the Brent method fails to converge the bracketing is repeated on the latest best estimate of the interval. The procedure is repeated with a maximum value (default =10) which can be set for all BrentRootFinder classes with the method SetDefaultNSearch This class is implemented from TF1::GetX() method. @ingroup RootFinders */ class BrentRootFinder: public IRootFinderMethod { public: /** Default Constructor. */ BrentRootFinder(); /** Default Destructor. */ ~BrentRootFinder() override {} /** Set function to solve and the interval in where to look for the root. \@param f Function to be minimized. \@param xlow Lower bound of the search interval. \@param xup Upper bound of the search interval. */ using IRootFinderMethod::SetFunction; bool SetFunction(const ROOT::Math::IGenFunction& f, double xlow, double xup) override; /** Returns the X value corresponding to the function value fy for (xmin 0 */ void SetLogScan(bool on) { fLogScan = on; } /** Returns root value.
