public abstract class DBHIterativeProcess
extends java.lang.Object
```
An iterative process is a general structure managing iterations. * This is based on the IterativeProcess class of Didier Besset in "Object-Oriented Implementation of Numerical Methods", Morgan-Kaufmann

    Returns:
    
    the estimated precision of the result.
  - finalizeIterations
```
protected abstract void finalizeIterations()
```
    Perform eventual clean-up operations (must be implement by subclass when needed).
  - initializeIterations
```
protected abstract void initializeIterations()
```
    Initializes internal parameters to start the iterative process.
  - getDesiredPrecision
```
public double getDesiredPrecision()
```
    Returns the desired precision.
  - getIterations
```
public int getIterations()
```
    Returns the number of iterations performed.

```
public double getPrecision()
```
    Returns the attained precision.
  - hasConverged
```
public boolean hasConverged()
```
    Check to see if the result has been attained.
    
    Returns:
    
    boolean
  - relativePrecision
```
public double relativePrecision(double epsilon,
                                double x)
```
    Parameters:
    
    epsilon - double
    
    x - double
    
    Returns:
    
    double
