/**
 * Implements the <em>Illinois method for root-finding (approximating
 * a zero of a univariate real function). It is a modified
 * {@link RegulaFalsiSolver <em>Regula Falsi} method.
 *
 * <p>Like the Regula Falsi method, convergence is guaranteed by
 * maintaining a bracketed solution. The <em>Illinois method however,
 * should converge much faster than the original <em>Regula Falsi
 * method. Furthermore, this implementation of the <em>Illinois method
 * should not suffer from the same implementation issues as the <em>Regula
 * Falsi</em> method, which may fail to convergence in certain cases.

 *
 * <p>The Illinois method assumes that the function is continuous,
 * but not necessarily smooth.</p>
 *
 * <p>Implementation 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>

 * @since 3.0
