nlSolvers

nlsolve(start, func, solvers = nlSolvers, control, ...)

`start`	A numeric vector of starting values.
`func`	An objective function of which the zeros are sought.
`solvers`	A (named) list, with each element being itself a list with components named `solve`, `success` and `result`. See the `solvers` argument of `glmsolve`.
`control`	See the `control` argument of `glmsolve`.
`...`	Additional arguments.

nlSolvers is currently a named list of length 8.

Currently supported solvers are c('broyden', 'nleqslv.Broyden', 'nleqslv.Newton','fsolve','newtonsys','sane','dfsane','BBsolve'). They are respectively broyden in the pracma package, nleqslv in the nleqslv with method='Broyden' or with method='Newton', functions fsolve and newtonsys in the pracma package, and functions sane, dfsane, and BBsolve in the BB package.

If at least one solver succeeds, a numeric vector of solutions will be returned, with attribute attr(*, 'nlsolve.metho') set to a string indicating the name of the success solver being used, and with attribute attr(*, 'nlsolve.success') being a logical scalar indicating whether any solver succeeded. When all solvers fail, the last one is returned, but with nlsolve.success being set to FALSE.
