/**
 * Base class for all bracketing <em>Secant</em>-based methods for root-finding
 * (approximating a zero of a univariate real function).
 *
 * <p>Implementation of the {@link RegulaFalsiSolver <em>Regula Falsi</em>} and
 * {@link IllinoisSolver <em>Illinois</em>} methods is based on the
 * following article: M. Dowell and P. Jarratt,
 * <em>A modified regula falsi method for computing the root of an
 * equation</em>, BIT Numerical Mathematics, volume 11, number 2,
 * pages 168-174, Springer, 1971.</p>
 *
 * <p>Implementation of the {@link PegasusSolver <em>Pegasus</em>} method is
 * based on the following article: M. Dowell and P. Jarratt,
 * <em>The "Pegasus" method for computing the root of an equation</em>,
 * BIT Numerical Mathematics, volume 12, number 4, pages 503-508, Springer,
 * 1972.</p>
 *
 * <p>The {@link SecantSolver <em>Secant</em>} method is <em>not</em> a
 * bracketing method, so it is not implemented here. It has a separate
 * implementation.</p>
