021 * Implements the <em>Pegasus</em> method for root-finding (approximating
022 * a zero of a univariate real function). It is a modified
023 * {@link RegulaFalsiSolver <em>Regula Falsi</em>} method.
024 *
025 * <p>Like the <em>Regula Falsi</em> method, convergence is guaranteed by
026 * maintaining a bracketed solution. The <em>Pegasus</em> method however,
027 * should converge much faster than the original <em>Regula Falsi</em>
028 * method. Furthermore, this implementation of the <em>Pegasus</em> method
029 * should not suffer from the same implementation issues as the <em>Regula
030 * Falsi</em> method, which may fail to convergence in certain cases. Also,
031 * the <em>Pegasus</em> method should converge faster than the
032 * {@link IllinoisSolver <em>Illinois</em>} method, another <em>Regula
033 * Falsi</em>-based method.</p>
034 *
035 * <p>The <em>Pegasus</em> method assumes that the function is continuous,
036 * but not necessarily smooth.</p>
037 *
038 * <p>Implementation based on the following article: M. Dowell and P. Jarratt,
039 * <em>The "Pegasus" method for computing the root of an equation</em>,
040 * BIT Numerical Mathematics, volume 12, number 4, pages 503-508, Springer,
041 * 1972.</p>
