scipy.interpolate.PPoly.roots

PPoly.roots(discontinuity=True, extrapolate=None)[source]

Find real roots of the the piecewise polynomial.

Parameters
discontinuitybool, optional

Whether to report sign changes across discontinuities at breakpoints as roots.

extrapolate{bool, ‘periodic’, None}, optional

If bool, determines whether to return roots from the polynomial extrapolated based on first and last intervals, ‘periodic’ works the same as False. If None (default), use self.extrapolate.

Returns
rootsndarray

Roots of the polynomial(s).

If the PPoly object describes multiple polynomials, the return value is an object array whose each element is an ndarray containing the roots.
