Functions of Numerical Analyis

LEDA provides some functions of numerical analysis, like computation of minima/maxima, integration, and root finding.

Remark: These functions are experimental and not the most efficient ones. Therefore, they should be used with special care.

Available Functions

  • double minimize_function(double (*f)(double), double& x) finds local minimum of function f and returns the result in x.
  • double integrate_function()computes the integral of f in the interval [l,r]
  • double binary_entropy(double x)returns the binary entropy of x
  • double zero_of_function(double (*f)(double), double l, double r)returns a zero of f
