Set Up Multi-Threaded Newton Method

Syntax
ok = multi_newton_setup(
     
num_subxlowxupepsilonmax_itrnum_threads
)


Purpose
These routine does the setup for splitting finding all the zeros in an interval into separate sub-intervals, one for each thread.

Thread
It is assumed that this function is called by thread zero, and all the other threads are blocked (waiting).

num_sub
See num_sub in multi_newton_run .

xlow
See xlow in multi_newton_run .

xup
See xup in multi_newton_run .

epsilon
See epsilon in multi_newton_run .

max_itr
See max_itr in multi_newton_run .

num_threads
See num_threads in multi_newton_run .
