% The function vent_vol.m inverts the ventricular pressure-volume functions
% which are established by integrating a hyperbolic tangent function.
% That is, the function determines the volume associated with a given
% pressure using Newton's method which converges quadratically to the root.
%
% Function arguments:
% xi - initial guess of normalized volume (must be between 0 and 1)
% yv - normalized pressure for which the corresponding normalized
% volume is desired (must be between 0 and 1)
% Ev - the current ventricular elastance OR differential
% ventricular elastance at unstressed volume (mmHg/ml)
%
% Function output:
% x - desired normalized volume
%
function x = vent_vol(xi,yv,Ev);
% Assigning variables.
TOL = 10e-6;
k = 50;
% Assigning initial guess.

% and its derivative at the initial guess.

% and its derivative via a single Newton's step.
