Detailed Description

This class is designed to find the root of a given function between 2 limits using bisection methods.

Author
Manuel B"ahr

The function is supplied using a templated class that must define operator(argument). The units of the argument ArgType and return type ValType must be supplied in the integrand class using a typedef. In addition the baseunit should be supplied by static methods vUnit() and aUnit() to avoid numerical problems that arise when the centrally defined baseunit is several orders of magnitude off the one you need. As an example see:
struct integrand {
...
Energy operator(CrossSection arg) const;
typedef CrossSection ArgType
typedef Energy ValType
static ArgType aUnit(){return 1.*millibarn;}
static ValType vUnit(){return 1.*MeV;}
...
}
This can be facilitated by deriving from the GSLHelper struct. Which implents the vUnit() and aUnit() methods using the baseunit static method. Also the typedefs are written there.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

GSLBisection& Herwig::GSLBisection::operator= ( const GSLBisection )
privatedelete

The assignment operator is private and must never be called.

In fact, it should not even be implemented.

◆ value()

template<class T >
T::ArgType Herwig::GSLBisection::value ( const T &  function,
const typename T::ArgType  lower,
const typename T::ArgType  upper 
) const
inline

The result of the root finding.

Parameters
functionThe integrand class that defines operator()
lowerThe lower limit of integration.
upperThe upper limit of integration.
