30 //
31 // G4AnalyticalPolSolver allows the user to solve analytically a polynomial
32 // equation up to the 4th order. This is used by CSG solid tracking functions
33 // like G4Torus.
34 //
35 // The algorithm has been adapted from the CACM Algorithm 326:
36 //
37 // Roots of low order polynomials
38 // Author: Terence R.F.Nonweiler
39 // CACM (Apr 1968) p269
40 // Translated into C and programmed by M.Dow

43 //
44 // Suite of procedures for finding the (complex) roots of the quadratic,
45 // cubic or quartic polynomials by explicit algebraic methods.
46 // Each Returns:
47 //
48 // x=r[1][k] + i r[2][k] k=1,...,n, where n={2,3,4}
49 //
50 // as roots of:
51 // sum_{k=0:n} p[k] x^(n-k) = 0
52 // Assumes p[0] != 0. (< or > 0) (overflows otherwise)
