  /**
     Class for  Multidimensional root finding algorithms bassed on GSL. This class is used to solve a
     non-linear system of equations:
 
     f1(x1,....xn) = 0
     f2(x1,....xn) = 0
     ..................
     fn(x1,....xn) = 0
 
     See the GSL <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Multidimensional-Root_002dFinding.html"> online manual</A> for
     information on the GSL MultiRoot finding algorithms
 
     The available GSL algorithms require the derivatives of the supplied functions or not (they are
     computed internally by GSL). In the first case the user needs to provide a list of multidimensional functions implementing the
     gradient interface (ROOT::Math::IMultiGradFunction) while in the second case it is enough to supply a list of
     functions impelmenting the ROOT::Math::IMultiGenFunction interface.
     The available algorithms requiring derivatives (see also the GSL
     <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Algorithms-using-Derivatives.html">documentation</A> )
     are the followings:
     <ul>
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kHybridSJ</tt>  with name <i>"HybridSJ"</i>: modified Powell's hybrid
     method as implemented in HYBRJ in MINPACK
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kHybridJ</tt>  with name <i>"HybridJ"</i>: unscaled version of the
     previous algorithm</li>
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kNewton</tt>  with name <i>"Newton"</i>: Newton method </li>
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kGNewton</tt>  with name <i>"GNewton"</i>: modified Newton method </li>
     </ul>
     The algorithms without derivatives (see also the GSL
     <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Algorithms-without-Derivatives.html">documentation</A> )
     are the followings:
     <ul>
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kHybridS</tt>  with name <i>"HybridS"</i>: same as HybridSJ but using
     finate difference approximation for the derivatives</li>
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kHybrid</tt>  with name <i>"Hybrid"</i>: unscaled version of the
     previous algorithm</li>
         <li><tt>ROOT::Math::GSLMultiRootFinder::kDNewton</tt>  with name <i>"DNewton"</i>: discrete Newton algorithm </li>
