Luc Maisonobe resolved MATH-896.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

As explained in the first comments, this behaviour is the expected one for the Brent algorithm.

> Hi everybody,
> In the current implementation of the Brent solver, it seems that attribute "functionValueAccuracy" is only used in the "doSolve" method, before entering the iteration loop in "brent" method. 
> Shouldn't it be a convergence test on the current function value to ensure that function value accuracy is reached? 
> This is the first time I'm posting here, so maybe I have missed something. Sorry if it's the case.
> Thanks for your time,
> Vincent
