class L_BFGS_B extends Minimizer

The L_BFGS_B the class implements the Limited memory Broyden–Fletcher– Goldfarb–Shanno for Bound constrained optimization (L-BFGS-B) Quasi-Newton Algorithm for solving Non-Linear Programming (NLP) problems. L-BFGS-B determines a search direction by deflecting the steepest descent direction vector (opposite the gradient) by * multiplying it by a matrix that approximates the inverse Hessian. Furthermore, only a few vectors represent the approximation of the Hessian Matrix (limited memory). The parameters estimated are also bounded within user specified lower and upper bounds.

minimize f(x) subject to g(x) <= 0 [ optionally g(x) == 0 ]
