Class UnivariateRealSolverFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.math.analysis.solvers.UnivariateRealSolverFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:
  UnivariateRealSolverFactoryImpl

    public abstract class UnivariateRealSolverFactory

extends Object

Abstract factory class used to create `UnivariateRealSolver` instances.

Solvers implementing the following algorithms are supported:

- Bisection
- Brent's method
- Secant method

Concrete factories extending this class also specify a default solver, instances of which are returned by `newDefaultSolver()`.

Common usage:

     SolverFactory factory = UnivariateRealSolverFactory.newInstance();

     // create a Brent solver to use
     BrentSolver solver = factory.newBrentSolver();
