* </ul>
* If {@code f} is continuous on {@code [a,b]}, this means that {@code a}
* and {@code b} bracket a root of {@code f}.
* <p>
* The algorithm checks the sign of \( f(l_k) \) and \( f(u_k) \) for increasing
* values of k, where \( l_k = max(lower, initial - \delta_k) \),
* \( u_k = min(upper, initial + \delta_k) \), using recurrence
* \( \delta_{k+1} = r \delta_k + q, \delta_0 = 0\) and starting search with \( k=1 \).
* The algorithm stops when one of the following happens: <ul>
* <li> at least one positive and one negative value have been found -- success!</li>
* <li> both endpoints have reached their respective limits -- NoBracketingException </li>
* <li> {@code maximumIterations} iterations elapse -- NoBracketingException </li></ul>
* <p>
* If different signs are found at first iteration ({@code k=1}), then the returned
* interval will be \( [a, b] = [l_1, u_1] \). If different signs are found at a later
* iteration {@code k>1}, then the returned interval will be either
* \( [a, b] = [l_{k+1}, l_{k}] \) or \( [a, b] = [u_{k}, u_{k+1}] \). A root solver called
* with these parameters will therefore start with the smallest bracketing interval known
* at this step.
* </p>
* <p>
* Interval expansion rate is tuned by changing the recurrence parameters {@code r} and
* {@code q}. When the multiplicative factor {@code r} is set to 1, the sequence is a
* simple arithmetic sequence with linear increase. When the multiplicative factor {@code r}
* is larger than 1, the sequence has an asymptotically exponential rate. Note than the
* additive parameter {@code q} should never be set to zero, otherwise the interval would
* degenerate to the single initial point for all values of {@code k}.
* </p>
* <p>
* As a rule of thumb, when the location of the root is expected to be approximately known
* within some error margin, {@code r} should be set to 1 and {@code q} should be set to the
* order of magnitude of the error margin. When the location of the root is really a wild guess,
* then {@code r} should be set to a value larger than 1 (typically 2 to double the interval
* length at each iteration) and {@code q} should be set according to half the initial
* search interval length.
* </p>
* <p>
* As an example, if we consider the trivial function {@code f(x) = 1 - x} and use
* {@code initial = 4}, {@code r = 1}, {@code q = 2}, the algorithm will compute
* {@code f(4-2) = f(2) = -1} and {@code f(4+2) = f(6) = -5} for {@code k = 1}, then
* {@code f(4-4) = f(0) = +1} and {@code f(4+4) = f(8) = -7} for {@code k = 2}. Then it will
* return the interval {@code [0, 2]} as the smallest one known to be bracketing the root.
* As shown by this example, the initial value (here {@code 4}) may lie outside of the returned
* bracketing interval.
* </p>
* @param function function to check
* @param initial Initial midpoint of interval being expanded to
