Detailed Description
template<class Impl> class QuantLib::Solver1D< Impl >
Base class for 1-D solvers.The implementation of this class uses the so-called 'Barton-Nackman trick', also known as 'the curiously recurring template pattern'. Concrete solvers will be declared as:
class Foo : public Solver1D<Foo> { public: ... template <class F> Real solveImpl(const F& f, Real accuracy) const { ... } };
- *
- xMin_ and xMax_ form a valid bracket;
- *
- fxMin_ and fxMax_ contain the values of the function in xMin_ and xMax_;
- *
- root_ is a valid initial guess. The implementation of solveImpl can safely assume all of the above.
Possible enhancements
-
- *
- clean up the interface so that it is clear whether the accuracy is specified for $ x $ or $ f(x) $.
- *
- add target value (now the target value is 0.0)

Real solve (const F & f, Real accuracy, Real guess, Real step) const
This method returns the zero of the function $ f $, determined with the given accuracy $ \psilon $; depending on the particular solver, this might mean that the returned $ x $ is such that $ |f(x)| < \psilon $, or that $ |x-lon $ where $ s the real zero.
This method contains a bracketing routine to which an initial guess must be supplied as well as a step used to scan the range of the possible bracketing values.
Real solve (const F & f, Real accuracy, Real guess, Real xMin, Real xMax) const
This method returns the zero of the function $ f $, determined with the given accuracy $ \psilon $; depending on the particular solver, this might mean that the returned $ x $ is such that $ |f(x)| < \psilon $, or that $ |x-lon $ where $ s the real zero.
An initial guess must be supplied, as well as two values $ x_mathrm{min} $ and $ x_mathrm{max} $ which must bracket the zero (i.e., either $ f(x_mathrm{min})
evaluations)"
This method sets the maximum number of function evaluations for the bracketing routine. An error is thrown if a bracket is not found after this number of evaluations.
