QuasiNewton

class QuasiNewton extends Minimizer with Error

The QuasiNewton the class implements the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) Quasi-Newton Algorithm for solving Non-Linear Programming (NLP) problems. BFGS 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. Note, this implementation may be set up to work with the matrix 'b' (approximate Hessian) or directly with the 'binv' matrix (the inverse of 'b').

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