=head1 NAME
                                                                    
PDL::GSL::MROOT - PDL interface to multidimensional root-finding routines in GSL
                                                                                
=head1 DESCRIPTION
       
This is an interface to the multidimensional root-finding package present in the 
GNU Scientific Library.

At the moment there is a single function B<gslmroot_fsolver> which provides an interface
to the algorithms in the GSL library that do not use derivatives.  


=head1 SYNOPSIS                                      
            
   use PDL;
   use PDL::GSL::MROOT;

   my $init = pdl (-10.00, -5.0);
   my $epsabs = 1e-7;


  $res = gslmroot_fsolver($init, \&rosenbrock,
                          {Method => 0, EpsAbs => $epsabs});

 
  sub rosenbrock{
     my ($x) = @_;
     my $a = 1;
     my $b = 10;
     my $y = zeroes($x);

     my $y0 = $y->slice(0);
     $y0 .=  $a * (1 - $x->slice(0));

     my $y1 = $y->slice(1);
     $y1 .=  $b * ($x->slice(1) - $x->slice(0)**2);

     return $y;
  }

 
=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 gslmroot_fsolver -- Multidimensional root finder without using derivatives

This function provides an interface to the multidimensional root finding algorithms
in the GSL library. It takes a minimum of two argumennts: a piddle $init with an 
initial guess for the roots of the system and a reference to a function. The latter
function must return a piddle whose i-th element is the i-th equation evaluated at
the vector x (a piddle which is the sole input to this function). See the example in
the Synopsis above for an illustration. The function returns a piddle with the roots
for the system of equations.

Two optional arguments can be specified as shown below. One is B<Method>, which can
take the values 0,1,2,3. They correspond to the 'hybrids', 'hybrid', 'dnewton' and
'broyden' algorithms respectively (see GSL documentation for details). The other
optional argument is B<Epsabs>, which sets the absolute accuracy to which the roots
of the system of equations are required. The default value for Method is 0 ('hybrids'
algorithm) and the default for Epsabs is 1e-3.

=for usage

Usage:
   
   $res = gslmroot_fsolver($init, $function_ref,
                           [{Method => $method, Epsabs => $epsabs}]);
