BISECTION_INTEGER <br> Seek Integer Roots for F(X)=0
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
<b>BISECTION_INTEGER</b>
is a MATLAB library which
seeks an integer solution to the equation F(X)=0,
using bisection within a user-supplied change of sign interval [A,B].
</p>
<p>
A function F(X) confined to integer arguments is given, with an
interval [A,B] over which F changes sign. An integer C is sought
such that A ≤ C ≤ B and F(C) = 0.
</p>
<p>
Because we are restricted to integer arguments, it may the case that
there is no such C.
</p>
<p>
This routine proceeds by a form of bisection, in which the enclosing
interval is restricted to be defined by integer values.
</p>
<p>
If the user has given a true change of sign interval [A,B], and if,
in the interval, there is a single integer value C for which F(C) = 0,
with the additional restrictions that F(C-1) and F(C+1) are of opposite
signs, then this procedure should locate and return C.
</p>
<p>
In particular, if the function F is monotone, and there is an integer
solution C in the interval, then this procedure will find it.
</p>
<p>
However, in general, even if there is an integer C in the interval,
such that F(C) = 0, this procedure may be unable to find it, particularly
if there are also nonintegral solutions within the same interval.
</p>
<p>
While any integer function can be used with this program, the bisection
approach is most useful if the integer function is monotone, or
varies slowly, or can be regarded as the restriction to integer arguments
of a continuous (and smoothly varying) function of a real argument.
In such cases, knowing that F is negative at A and positive at B
suggests that F generally increases from A to B, and might attain
the value 0 at some intermediate argument C.
