## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} fzero (@var{fun}, @var{x0}, @var{options})

## Find a zero of a univariate function.
##
## @var{fun} is a function handle, inline function, or string
## containing the name of the function to evaluate.
## @var{x0} should be a two-element vector specifying two points which
## bracket a zero.  In other words, there must be a change in sign of the
## function between @var{x0}(1) and @var{x0}(2).  More mathematically, the
## following must hold
##
## @example
## sign (@var{fun}(@var{x0}(1))) * sign (@var{fun}(@var{x0}(2))) <= 0
## @end example
##
## If @var{x0} is a single scalar then several nearby and distant
## values are probed in an attempt to obtain a valid bracketing.  If this
## is not successful, the function fails.
## @var{options} is a structure specifying additional options.
## Currently, @code{fzero}
## recognizes these options: @qcode{"FunValCheck"}, @qcode{"OutputFcn"},
## @qcode{"TolX"}, @qcode{"MaxIter"}, @qcode{"MaxFunEvals"}.
## For a description of these options, see @ref{XREFoptimset,,optimset}.
##
## On exit, the function returns @var{x}, the approximate zero point
## and @var{fval}, the function value thereof.
## @var{info} is an exit flag that can have these values:
##
## @itemize
## @item 1
##  The algorithm converged to a solution.
##
## @item 0
##  Maximum number of iterations or function evaluations has been reached.
##
## @item -1
## The algorithm has been terminated from user output function.
##
## @item -5
## The algorithm may have converged to a singular point.
## @end itemize
##
## @var{output} is a structure containing runtime information about the
## @code{fzero} algorithm.  Fields in the structure are:
##
## @itemize
## @item iterations
##  Number of iterations through loop.
##
## @item nfev
##  Number of function evaluations.
##
## @item bracketx
##  A two-element vector with the final bracketing of the zero along the x-axis.
##
## @item brackety
##  A two-element vector with the final bracketing of the zero along the y-axis.
## @end itemize
## @seealso{optimset, fsolve}
## @end deftypefn

## This is essentially the ACM algorithm 748: Enclosing Zeros of
## Continuous Functions due to Alefeld, Potra and Shi, ACM Transactions
## on Mathematical Software, Vol. 21, No. 3, September 1995. Although
## the workflow should be the same, the structure of the algorithm has
## been transformed non-trivially; instead of the authors' approach of
## sequentially calling building blocks subprograms we implement here a
## FSM version using one interior point determination and one bracketing
## per iteration, thus reducing the number of temporary variables and
## simplifying the algorithm structure. Further, this approach reduces
## the need for external functions and error handling. The algorithm has
## also been slightly modified.
