This chapter describes functions for multidimensional root-finding
(solving nonlinear systems with n equations in n
unknowns). The library provides low level components for a variety of
iterative solvers and convergence tests. These can be combined by the
user to achieve the desired solution, with full access to the
intermediate steps of the iteration. Each class of methods uses the
same framework, so that you can switch between solvers at runtime
without needing to recompile your program. Each instance of a solver
keeps track of its own state, allowing the solvers to be used in
multi-threaded programs. The solvers are based on the original Fortran
library <span class="sc">minpack</span>.
<p>The header file <samp><span class="file">gsl_multiroots.h</span></samp> contains prototypes for the
multidimensional root finding functions and related declarations.
