2. From this sample, continue the search to find the first (negative) crossing of
. The time of this crossing is . (Use linear interpolation if
necessary.)
3. From , continue the search, looking for a crossing of . Update
 if subsequent  crossings are found. When a  crossing is
found, it becomes . (Use linear interpolation if necessary.)
