/**
 * Implements the Pegasus method for root-finding (approximating
 * a zero of a univariate real function). It is a modified
 * {@link RegulaFalsiSolver Regula Falsi} method.
 *
 * Like the Regula Falsi method, convergence is guaranteed by
 * maintaining a bracketed solution. The Pegasus method however,
 * should converge much faster than the original Regula Falsi
 * method. Furthermore, this implementation of the Pegasus method
 * should not suffer from the same implementation issues as the Regula
 * Falsi method, which may fail to convergence in certain cases. Also,
 * the Pegasus method should converge faster than the
 * {@link IllinoisSolver Illinois} method, another Regula
 * Falsi-based method.
 *
 * The Pegasus method assumes that the function is continuous,
 * but not necessarily smooth.
 *
 * Implementation based on the following article: M. Dowell and P. Jarratt,
 * The "Pegasus" method for computing the root of an equation,
 * BIT Numerical Mathematics, volume 12, number 4, pages 503-508, Springer,
 * 1972.
 *
 * @since 3.0
