Anthony Maidment created MATH-871:
-------------------------------------
Summary: math3 SecantSolver can return Double.INFINITE
Key: MATH-871
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-871
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0
Reporter: Anthony Maidment
Priority: Minor
In doSolve(), I had a situation in which f0 and f1, from
computeObjectiveValue() on lines 77 & 78, were the same value.
Then when it calculates the next appromixation at line 101:
final double x = x1 - ((f1 * (x1 - x0)) / (f1 - f0));
The denominator is then zero, and the next approximation is Double.INFINITE.
I was able to work around this in this particular instance by relaxing the
accuracy requirements of the solver, although I haven't yet fully tested the
downstream implications of this change.
