<p><strong>Function arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>init_out_vals</code> a column vector of initial values; will be replaced by the solution values.</li>
<li><code>opt_objfn</code> the function to be minimized, taking three arguments:
<ul>
<li><code>vals_inp</code> a vector of inputs;</li>
<li><code>grad_out</code> a vector to store the gradient; and</li>
<li><code>opt_data</code> additional parameters passed to the function.</li>
</ul>
<li><code>opt_data</code> additional parameters passed to the function.</li>
<li><code>settings</code> parameters controlling the optimization routine; see below.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Optimization <a href="optimlib_docs_settings.html" target="_blank">control parameters</a>:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>double err_tol</code> the tolerance value controlling how small $\| \nabla f \|$ should be before 'convergence' is declared.</li>
<li><code>int iter_max</code> the maximum number of iterations/updates before the algorithm exits.</li>
<li><code>bool vals_bound</code> whether the search space is bounded. If true, then</li>

<p>Let $x^{(i)}$ denote the function input values at stage $i$ of the algorithm. The BFGS updating rule is as follows.</p>
<ul>
<li>The descent direction is computed using
$$d^{(i)} = -W^{(i)} \nabla f^{(i)}$$
where $W^{(i)}$ is the <strong>approximate inverse hessian</strong> of $f$ at stage $i$, and $\nabla f^{(i)}$ is the gradient of $f$ evaluated at $x^{(i)}$.</li>
<li>The input values are then updated:
$$x^{(i+1)} = x^{(i)} + \alpha^{(i)} d^{(i)}$$
where $\alpha^{(i)}$ is found via line search:
$$\alpha^{(i)} = \arg \min_\alpha f(x^{(i)} + \alpha d^{(i)})$$
The line search method used in OptimLib is that of More and Thuente (1994).</li>
<li>$W^{(i)}$ is updated for stage $i+1$ using
$$
W^{(i+1)} = \left(I - \dfrac{sy'}{y's}\right) W^{(i)} \left(I - \dfrac{sy'}{y's}\right)' + \dfrac{ss'}{y's}
$$
where</li>
\begin{align*}
s &:= x^{(i+1)} - x^{(i)} \\
y &:= \nabla f^{(i+1)} - \nabla f^{(i)}
\end{align*}
</ul>
<p>The algorithm stops when $\| \nabla f \|$ is less than <code>err_tol</code>, or the total number of iterations exceeds <code>iter_max</code>.</p>
<hr style="height:2px;border-width:0;background-color:black">
<h3 style="text-align: left;" id="examples"><strong style="font-size: 100%;">Examples</strong></h3>
<p>As examples, consider minimization of:</p>
<ul>
<li>the Sphere function
$$\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2$$
The solution is the zero vector</li>
<li>Booth's function
$$\min_{x \in [-10,10]^2} \left\{ (x_1 + 2x_2 - 7)^2 + (2 x_1 + x_2 - 5)^2 \right\}$$
The global minimum is located at $(1,3)$.</li>
