    The abstract class QuantLib::Solver1D provides the interface for 
    one-dimensional solvers which can find the zeroes of a given function.
 
    A number of such solvers is contained in the ql/Solvers1D
    directory.
 
    The implementation of the algorithms was inspired by
    "Numerical Recipes in C", 2nd edition,
    Press, Teukolsky, Vetterling, Flannery - Chapter 9
 
    Some work is needed to resolve the ambiguity of the root finding accuracy
    definition: for some algorithms it is the x-accuracy, for others it is
    f(x)-accuracy.

/*! \defgroup optimizers Optimizers
 
    The optimization framework (corresponding to the ql/Optimization
    directory) implements some multi-dimensional minimizing
    methods. The function to be minimized is to be derived from the
    QuantLib::CostFunction base class (if the gradient is not
    analytically implemented, it will be computed numerically).
