/* falsepos.c -- falsepos root finding algorithm 

   The false position algorithm uses bracketing by linear interpolation.

   If a linear interpolation step would decrease the size of the
   bracket by less than a bisection step would then the algorithm
   takes a bisection step instead.
   
   The last linear interpolation estimate of the root is used. If a
   bisection step causes it to fall outside the brackets then it is
   replaced by the bisection estimate (x_upper + x_lower)/2.
