+/** Interface for {@link UnivariateSolver (univariate real) root-finding
+ * algorithms} that maintain a bracketed solution. There are several advantages
+ * to having such root-finding algorithms:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>The bracketed solution guarantees that the root is kept within the
+ * interval. As such, these algorithms generally also guarantee
+ * convergence.</li>
+ * <li>The bracketed solution means that we have the opportunity to only
+ * return roots that are greater than or equal to the actual root, or
+ * are less than or equal to the actual root. That is, we can control
+ * whether under-approximations and over-approximations are
+ * {@link AllowedSolution allowed solutions}. Other root-finding
+ * algorithms can usually only guarantee that the solution (the root that
+ * was found) is around the actual root.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>For backwards compatibility, all root-finding algorithms must have
+ * {@link AllowedSolution#ANY_SIDE ANY_SIDE} as default for the allowed
+ * solutions.</p>

+ * @see AllowedSolution
+ * @param <T> the type of the field elements
