Fast implementations of root finding algorithms in Julia that satisfy the SciML common interface.

## Current Algorithms

### Non-Bracketing

- `NewtonRaphson()`

### Bracketing

- `Falsi()`
- `Bisection()`

## Features

Performance is key: the current methods are made to be highly performant on scalar and statically sized small
problems. If you run into any performance issues, please file an issue.

There is an iterator form of the nonlinear solver which mirrors the DiffEq integrator interface:

```julia
f(u, p) = u .* u .- 2.0
u0 = (1.0, 2.0) # brackets
probB = NonlinearProblem(f, u0)
solver = init(probB, Falsi()) # Can iterate the solver object
solver = solve!(solver)
```

Note that the `solver` object is actually immutable since we want to make it live on the stack for the sake of performance.

## Roadmap

The current algorithms should support automatic differentiation, though improved adjoint overloads are planned
to be added in the current update (which will make use of the `f(u,p)` form). Future updates will include
standard methods for larger scale nonlinear solving like Newton-Krylov methods.

# [NonlinearFunctions and Jacobian Types](@id nonlinearfunctions)

The SciML ecosystem provides an extensive interface for declaring extra functions
associated with the differential equation's data. In traditional libraries there
is usually only one option: the Jacobian. However, we allow for a large array
of pre-computed functions to speed up the calculations. This is offered via the
`NonlinearFunction` types which can be passed to the problems.

## Function Type Definitions

### Function Choice Definitions

The full interface available to the solvers is as follows:

- `jac`: The Jacobian of the differential equation with respect to the state
variable `u` at a time `t` with parameters `p`.
- `tgrad`: The gradient of the differential equation with respect to `t` at state
`u` with parameters `p`.
- `paramjac`: The Jacobian of the differential equation with respect to `p` at
state `u` at time `t`.
- `analytic`: Defines an analytical solution using `u0` at time `t` with `p`
which will cause the solvers to return errors. Used for testing.
- `syms`: Allows you to name your variables for automatic names in plots and
other output.

### NonlinearFunction

```julia
function NonlinearFunction{iip,true}(f;
analytic=nothing, # (u0,p)
jac=nothing, # (J,u,p) or (u,p)
jvp=nothing,
vjp=nothing,
jac_prototype=nothing, # Type for the Jacobian
sparsity=jac_prototype,
paramjac = nothing,
syms = nothing,
observed = DEFAULT_OBSERVED_NO_TIME,
colorvec = nothing)

# Nonlinear Problems

## Mathematical Specification of a Nonlinear Problem

To define a Nonlinear Problem, you simply need to give the function ``f``
which defines the nonlinear system:

```math
f(u,p) = 0
```

and an initial guess ``u₀`` of where `f(u,p)=0`. `f` should be specified as `f(u,p)`
(or in-place as `f(du,u,p)`), and `u₀` should be an AbstractArray (or number)
whose geometry matches the desired geometry of `u`. Note that we are not limited
to numbers or vectors for `u₀`; one is allowed to provide `u₀` as arbitrary
matrices / higher dimension tensors as well.

## Problem Type

### Constructors

```julia
NonlinearProblem(f::NonlinearFunction,u0,p=NullParameters();kwargs...)
NonlinearProblem{isinplace}(f,u0,p=NullParameters();kwargs...)
```

`isinplace` optionally sets whether the function is inplace or not. This is
determined automatically, but not inferred.

Parameters are optional, and if not given then a `NullParameters()` singleton
will be used which will throw nice errors if you try to index non-existent
parameters. Any extra keyword arguments are passed on to the solvers. For example,
if you set a `callback` in the problem, then that `callback` will be added in
every solve call.

For specifying Jacobians and mass matrices, see the [NonlinearFunctions](@ref nonlinearfunctions)
page.

### Fields

* `f`: The function in the ODE.
* `u0`: The initial guess for the steady state.
* `p`: The parameters for the problem. Defaults to `NullParameters`
* `kwargs`: The keyword arguments passed onto the solves.

# NonlinearSolve.jl: High-Performance Unified Nonlinear Solvers

NonlinaerSolve.jl is a unified interface for the nonlinear solving packages of
Julia. It includes its own high-performance nonlinear solves which include the
ability to swap out to fast direct and iterative linear solvers, along with the
ability to use sparse automatic differentiation for Jacobian construction and
Jacobian-vector products. It interfaces with other packages of the Julia ecosystem
to make it easy to test alternative solver packages and pass small types to
control algorithm swapping. It interfaces with the
[ModelingToolkit.jl](https://mtk.sciml.ai/dev/) world of symbolic modeling to
allow for automatically generating high performance code.

Performance is key: the current methods are made to be highly performant on
scalar and statically sized small problems, with options for large-scale systems.
If you run into any performance issues, please file an issue.

## Installation

To install NonlinearSolve.jl, use the Julia package manager:

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.add("NonlinearSolve")
```

# Bracketing Solvers

`solve(prob::NonlinearProblem,alg;kwargs)`

Solves for ``f(u)=0`` in the problem defined by `prob` using the algorithm
`alg`. If no algorithm is given, a default algorithm will be chosen.

This page is solely focused on the bracketing methods for scalar nonlinear equations.

## Recommended Methods

`Falsi()` can have a faster convergence and is discretely differentiable, but is
less stable than `Bisection`.

## Full List of Methods

### NonlinearSolve.jl

- `Falsi` : A non-allocating regula falsi method
- `Bisection`: A common bisection method
