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.
Since:1.2

Find a real root in the given interval. Despite the bracketing condition, the root returned by 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 ComplexSolver.solveAll(Complex[], Complex) in order to obtain all roots and picks up one real root.
Params:
  • 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.
Deprecated:This method should not be part of the public API: It will be made private in version 4.0.
