This backend features a Newton-like algorithm. The user has to supply a
Hessian function. No constraints are honoured. If the supplied Hessian
function actually returns the inverse of the Hessian, set
inverse_hessian
to true
. Supplying the inverse Hessian is
preferable, if possible.
Returned value cvg will be 2
or 3
for success and
0
or -1
for failure (
see
nonlin_min for
meaning). Returned structure outp will have the fields
niter
, nobjf
, and user_interaction
.
Interpretation of Display
: if set to "iter"
, some
diagnostics are printed.
