Detailed Description

Extends the class NortaInitDisc and implements the algorithm NI2a.

It uses the derivative, so it calls the method deriv to compute the function \(g’_r\) given in ( grp_M ). The double integration in ( gr ) is simplified and only a simple integration is used. The algorithm uses numerical integration with Simpson’s rules over subintervals given by the finite sequence \(\rho_k=\rho_0+2kh\), for \(k=0,1,...,m\), where \(h\) is a fixed step size and \(m\) is such that \(1-2h<\rho_m<1\). The initial point is chosen as \(\rho_0=2 \sin(\pi r_X /6)\). The integration is done between \(\rho_0\) and \(\rho_m=\pm(1-\delta)\), or between \(\rho_0\) and \(0\), depending on the sign of \(r_X\) and on whether the root is to the left, or to the right of \(\rho_0\). So depending on the case, the worst-case integration distance will be set to \(d=|1-\delta-\rho_0|\) or \(d=|\rho_0|\). Then, the step size is readjusted to \(h^*=d/(2m)\), where \(d\) is the maximum number of steps (iterations) calculated based on the pre-defined step size \(h\), so \(m=\lceil d / (2h) \rceil\). The algorithm stops at iteration \(k\) if the root is in a subinterval \([\rho_{k-1},\rho_k]\), and a quadratic interpolation is used to compute the solution. For this, the method #interpol of class umontreal.ssj.util.Misc (from package util of SSJ [155] ) is used.
