// Modifications
//  AGAP 160701 Some comments. Changed minimize to call the correct minimization
//              routine.
//  RWMC 001097 Added verbose flag to get rid of all that blathering.
//  AWF  151197 Added trace flag to increase blather.
//   Feb.2002 - Peter Vanroose - brief doxygen comment placed on single line

//: Levenberg Marquardt nonlinear least squares
//  vnl_levenberg_marquardt is an interface to the MINPACK routine lmdif,
//  and implements Levenberg Marquardt nonlinear fitting.  The function
//  to be minimized is passed as a vnl_least_squares_function object, which
//  may or may not wish to provide derivatives.  If derivatives are not
//  supplied, they are calculated by forward differencing, which costs
//  one function evaluation per dimension, but is perfectly accurate.
//  (See Hartley in ``Applications of Invariance in Computer Vision''
//  for example).
