* If all solutions are accepted ({@link #ANY_SIDE}), then the solution
* that the root-finding algorithm returns for a given root may be equal to the
* actual root, but it may also be an approximation that is slightly smaller
* or slightly larger than the actual root. Root-finding algorithms generally
* only guarantee that the returned solution is within the requested

* {@link org.apache.commons.math3.ode.ODEIntegrator ODE solvers}, it
* may be necessary to guarantee that a solution is returned that lies on a
* specific side the solution.
