static const char help[] = "Attempts to solve for root of a function with multiple local minima.\n\
With the proper initial guess, a backtracking line-search fails because Newton's method gets\n\
stuck in a local minimum. However, a critical point line-search or Newton's method without a\n\
line search succeeds.\n";

/* Solve 1D problem f(x) = 8 * exp(-4 * (x - 2)^2) * (x - 2) + 2 * x = 0

This problem is based on the example given here: https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/a/2446/24756
Originally an optimization problem to find the minimum of the function

g(x) = x^2 - exp(-4 * (x - 2)^2)

it has been reformulated to solve dg(x)/dx = f(x) = 0. The reformulated problem has several local
minima that can cause problems for some global Newton root-finding methods. In this particular
example, an initial guess of x0 = 2.5 generates an initial search direction (-df/dx is positive)
away from the root and towards a local minimum in which a back-tracking line search gets trapped.
However, omitting a line-search or using a critical point line search, the solve is successful.

The test outputs the final result for x and f(x).

Example usage:

Get help:
  ./ex99 -help

Monitor run (with default back-tracking line search; solve fails):
  ./ex99 -snes_converged_reason -snes_monitor -snes_linesearch_monitor -ksp_converged_reason -ksp_monitor

Run without a line search; solve succeeds:
  ./ex99 -snes_linesearch_type basic

Run with a critical point line search; solve succeeds:
  ./ex99 -snes_linesearch_type cp
