% Written by Carl E. Rasmussen 


% Minimize a continuous differentialble multivariate function. Starting point
% is given by "X" (D by 1), and the function named in the string "f", must
% return a function value and a vector of partial derivatives. The Polack-
% Ribiere flavour of conjugate gradients is used to compute search directions,
% and a line search using quadratic and cubic polynomial approximations and the
% Wolfe-Powell stopping criteria is used together with the slope ratio method
% for guessing initial step sizes. Additionally a bunch of checks are made to
% make sure that exploration is taking place and that extrapolation will not
% be unboundedly large. The "length" gives the length of the run: if it is
% positive, it gives the maximum number of line searches, if negative its
% absolute gives the maximum allowed number of function evaluations. The
% function returns when either its length is up, or if no further progress can
% be made (ie, we are at a minimum, or so close that due to numerical problems,
% we cannot get any closer). If the function terminates within a few
% iterations, it could be an indication that the function value and derivatives
% are not consistent (ie, there may be a bug in the implementation of your "f"
% function). The function returns the found solution "X", a vector of function
% values "fX" indicating the progress made and "i" the number of iterations
% (line searches or function evaluations, depending on the sign of "length")
% used.

% Usage: [X, fX, i] = minimize(X, f, length, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)
