Gilles commented on MATH-832:
-----------------------------
bq. [...] But now i think i know where the problem is [...]
I do not. Is there a problem in Commons Math?
bq. An upper bound for the interval sufficiently smaller than infinity causes
no problems
The initial report seems to indicate that you wanted to obtain the minimum of
"uf". Then, in your last comment, you still use "BrentSolver" which will search
for the root (of that same "uf").
Which is it?
Also, please correct the links in your previous comment; they seem broken
(parts not being interpreted as links). Even better would be to upload files
(either figures, or source code to reproduce the problem) to this page, instead
of those unreadable links!
Thanks.
