exampleMultiRoot.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Example of using multiroot finder based on GSL algorithm.

Find the root of Rosenbrock system of equations:

$$f1(x,y) = a(1-x)$$

$$f2(x,y) = b(y-x^2)$$

with:

$$a = 1, b=10$$

The MultiRootFinder is based on GSL and it requires the MathMore library installed

Usage:

>.x exampleMultiRoot.C()

or

>.x exampleMultiRoot(algoname,printlevel)

where algoname is for an algorithm not using the derivatives: hybridS (default) , hybrid, dnewton, broyden
