- * \defgroup NonLinearOptimization_Module Non linear optimization module
- *
- * \code
- * #include <unsupported/Eigen/NonLinearOptimization>
- * \endcode
- *
- * This module provides implementation of two important algorithms in non linear
- * optimization. In both cases, we consider a system of non linear functions. Of
- * course, this should work, and even work very well if those functions are
- * actually linear. But if this is so, you should probably better use other
- * methods more fitted to this special case.
- *
- * One algorithm allows to find a least-squares solution of such a system
- * (Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm) and the second one is used to find
- * a zero for the system (Powell hybrid "dogleg" method).
- *
- * This code is a port of minpack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINPACK).
- * Minpack is a very famous, old, robust and well renowned package, written in
- * fortran. Those implementations have been carefully tuned, tested, and used
- * for several decades.
- *
- * The original fortran code was automatically translated using f2c (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2c) in C,
- * then c++, and then cleaned by several different authors.
- * The last one of those cleanings being our starting point :
- * http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/cminpack.html
- *
- * Finally, we ported this code to Eigen, creating classes and API
- * coherent with Eigen. When possible, we switched to Eigen
- * implementation, such as most linear algebra (vectors, matrices, stable norms).
- *
- * Doing so, we were very careful to check the tests we setup at the very
- * beginning, which ensure that the same results are found.
- *
- * \section Tests Tests
- *
- * The tests are placed in the file unsupported/test/NonLinear.cpp.
- *
- * There are two kinds of tests : those that come from examples bundled with cminpack.
- * They guaranty we get the same results as the original algorithms (value for 'x',
- * for the number of evaluations of the function, and for the number of evaluations
- * of the Jacobian if ever).
- *
- * Other tests were added by myself at the very beginning of the
- * process and check the results for Levenberg-Marquardt using the reference data
- * on http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/nls/nls_main.shtml. Since then i've
- * carefully checked that the same results were obtained when modifying the
- * code. Please note that we do not always get the exact same decimals as they do,
- * but this is ok : they use 128bits float, and we do the tests using the C type 'double',
- * which is 64 bits on most platforms (x86 and amd64, at least).
- * I've performed those tests on several other implementations of Levenberg-Marquardt, and
- * (c)minpack performs VERY well compared to those, both in accuracy and speed.
- *
- * The documentation for running the tests is on the wiki
- * http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Tests
- *
- * \section API API: overview of methods
- *
- * Both algorithms needs a functor computing the Jacobian. It can be computed by
- * hand, using auto-differentiation (see \ref AutoDiff_Module), or using numerical
- * differences (see \ref NumericalDiff_Module). For instance:
- *\code
- * MyFunc func;
- * NumericalDiff<MyFunc> func_with_num_diff(func);
- * LevenbergMarquardt<NumericalDiff<MyFunc> > lm(func_with_num_diff);
- * \endcode
- * For HybridNonLinearSolver, the method solveNumericalDiff() does the above wrapping for
- * you.
- *
- * The methods LevenbergMarquardt.lmder1()/lmdif1()/lmstr1() and
- * HybridNonLinearSolver.hybrj1()/hybrd1() are specific methods from the original
- * minpack package that you probably should NOT use until you are porting a code that
- * was previously using minpack. They just define a 'simple' API with default values
- * for some parameters.
- *
- * All algorithms are provided using two APIs :
- * - one where the user inits the algorithm, and uses '*OneStep()' as much as he wants :
- * this way the caller have control over the steps
- * - one where the user just calls a method (optimize() or solve()) which will
- * handle the loop: init + loop until a stop condition is met. Those are provided for
- * convenience.
- *
- * As an example, the method LevenbergMarquardt::minimize() is
- * implemented as follow:
- * \code
- * Status LevenbergMarquardt<FunctorType,Scalar>::minimize(FVectorType &x, const int mode)
- * {
- * Status status = minimizeInit(x, mode);
- * do {
- * status = minimizeOneStep(x, mode);
- * } while (status==Running);
- * return status;
- * }
- * \endcode
- *
- * \section examples Examples
- *
- * The easiest way to understand how to use this module is by looking at the many examples in the file
- * unsupported/test/NonLinearOptimization.cpp.
