Options:

nit : int, optional

Number of iterations to make. If omitted (default), make as many as required to meet tolerances.

disp : bool, optional

Print status to stdout on every iteration.

maxiter : int, optional

Maximum number of iterations to make. If more are needed to meet convergence, NoConvergence is raised.

ftol : float, optional

Relative tolerance for the residual. If omitted, not used.

fatol : float, optional

Absolute tolerance (in max-norm) for the residual. If omitted, default is 6e-6.

xtol : float, optional

Relative minimum step size. If omitted, not used.

xatol : float, optional

Absolute minimum step size, as determined from the Jacobian approximation. If the step size is smaller than this, optimization is terminated as successful. If omitted, not used.

tol_norm : function(vector) -> scalar, optional

Norm to use in convergence check. Default is the maximum norm.

line_search : {None, ‘armijo’ (default), ‘wolfe’}, optional

Which type of a line search to use to determine the step size in the direction given by the Jacobian approximation. Defaults to ‘armijo’.

jac_options : dict, optional

Options for the respective Jacobian approximation.

alpha : float, optional

Initial guess for the Jacobian is (-1/alpha).

reduction_method : str or tuple, optional

Method used in ensuring that the rank of the Broyden matrix stays low. Can either be a string giving the name of the method, or a tuple of the form (method, param1, param2, ...) that gives the name of the method and values for additional parameters.

Methods available:
  • restart: drop all matrix columns. Has no

    extra parameters.

  • simple: drop oldest matrix column. Has no

    extra parameters.

  • svd: keep only the most significant SVD

    components.

    Extra parameters:
    • to_retain: number of SVD components to

      retain when rank reduction is done. Default is max_rank - 2.

max_rank : int, optional

Maximum rank for the Broyden matrix. Default is infinity (ie., no rank reduction).
