Module DMNFB in PORT
Finds a local minimum of a continuously differentiable function subject to
simple upper and lower bound constraints. Finite-difference gradients and
secant Hessian approximations are used. Uses a variant of Newton's method with a
quasi-Newton (BFGS) Hessian updating method, and a model/trust-region
technique to aid convergence from poor starting values.
