Abstract
A rapidly convergent search technique for finding the root of a scalar equation is proposed. At each step the method requires the construction of the envelope of a certain class of functions. Constructing this envelope is equivalent to solving an optimal control problem with state space constraints. The major portion of the paper deals with this control problem.
