| <p> |
| These two functions locate the minima of the continuous function <span class="emphasis"><em>f</em></span> |
| using Brent's algorithm. Parameters are: |
| </p> |
| <div class="variablelist"> |
| <p class="title"><b></b></p> |
| <dl> |
| <dt><span class="term">f</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The function to minimise. The function should be smooth over the |
| range [min,max], with no maxima occurring in that interval. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">min</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The lower endpoint of the range in which to search for the minima. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">max</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The upper endpoint of the range in which to search for the minima. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">bits</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The number of bits precision to which the minima should be found. |
| Note that in principle, the minima can not be located to greater |
| accuracy than the square root of machine epsilon, therefore if <span class="emphasis"><em>bits</em></span> |
| is set to a value greater than one half of the bits in type T, then |
| the value will be ignored. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt><span class="term">max_iter</span></dt> |
| <dd><p> |
| The maximum number of iterations to use in the algorithm, if not |
| provided the algorithm will just keep on going until the minima is |
| found. |
| </p></dd> |
| </dl> |
| </div> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>Returns:</strong></span> a pair containing the value of |
| the abscissa at the minima and the value of f(x) at the minima. |
