settol_root

subroutine settol_root(tol)

Description:

Allows to alter the tolerance level of the root-finder fzero. By default, the tolerance level is . The tolerance level is used by fzero to indicate whether a root of the non-linear equation system has been found. The subroutine thereby considers the value an (approximate) root of the system, if

Input arguments:

• real*8 :: tol
  A scalar value indicating the new tolerance level for the root-finder fzero. Note that tol needs to be strictly greater than 0, otherwise the subroutine will throw an error message.
