%
%  function [x, ithist, iflag] = newt1d( f, x, tolf, tolx, maxit )
%
%  newt1d attempts to compute a root of f.
%
%  Input parameters:
%    f       name of a matlab function that evaluates 
%            f and its derivative.
%    x       initial iterate
%    tolf    stopping tolerance (optional. Default tolf = 1.e-7)
%            Newton's method stops if  |f(x)| < tolf
%    tolx    stopping tolerance (optional. Default tolx = 1.e-7)
%            Newton's method stops if  |s| < tolx, 
%            where s = -f(x)/f'(x)  is the Newton step.
%    maxit   maximum number of iterations (optional. Default maxit = 100)
%
%
%  Output parameters:
%    x       approximation of the solution. 
%    ithist  array with the iteration history
%            The i-th row of ithist contains  [it, x, fx, s]
%    ifag    return flag
%            iflag =  0  |f(x)| <= tolf 
%            iflag =  1  iteration terminated because maximum number of 
%                        iterations was reached. |f(x)| > tolf
