| Minpack includes software for solving nonlinear equations and |
| nonlinear least squares problems. Five algorithmic paths each |
| include a core subroutine and an easy-to-use driver. The algorithms |
| proceed either from an analytic specification of the Jacobian matrix |
| or directly from the problem functions. The paths include facilities |
| for systems of equations with a banded Jacobian matrix, for least |
| squares problems with a large amount of data, and for checking the |
| consistency of the Jacobian matrix with the functions. |
| This is the C re-write of the original fortran minpack |
| implementation. |
