What does this implement/fix?
The method used by
root_scalar
depends on the optional arguments passed to the function. Whetherbracket
is passed is tested by evaluating its truthiness. That raises aValueError
ifbracket
is passed as a numpy array:ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous
.This commit fixes this by testing
bracket
againstNone
, and adds a simple test to check that the root obtained when passingbracket
as an array is correct.Additional information
A check was already in place within
root_scalar
to verifybracket
is a list, tuple, or np.ndarray, which led me to believe passing the parameter as a np.ndarray should be accepted by this function.
