331:      The subroutine mcstep is taken from the work of Jorge Nocedal.
332:      this is a variant of More' and Thuente's routine.

334:      subroutine mcstep

336:      the purpose of mcstep is to compute a safeguarded step for
337:      a linesearch and to update an interval of uncertainty for
338:      a minimizer of the function.

340:      the parameter stx contains the step with the least function
341:      value. the parameter stp contains the current step. it is
342:      assumed that the derivative at stx is negative in the
343:      direction of the step. if bracket is set true then a
344:      minimizer has been bracketed in an interval of uncertainty
345:      with endpoints stx and sty.

347:      the subroutine statement is

349:      subroutine mcstep(stx,fx,dx,sty,fy,dy,stp,fp,dp,bracket,
350:                        stpmin,stpmax,info)

352:      where

354:        stx, fx, and dx are variables which specify the step,
355:          the function, and the derivative at the best step obtained
356:          so far. The derivative must be negative in the direction
357:          of the step, that is, dx and stp-stx must have opposite
358:          signs. On output these parameters are updated appropriately.

360:        sty, fy, and dy are variables which specify the step,
361:          the function, and the derivative at the other endpoint of
362:          the interval of uncertainty. On output these parameters are
363:          updated appropriately.

365:        stp, fp, and dp are variables which specify the step,
366:          the function, and the derivative at the current step.
367:          If bracket is set true then on input stp must be
368:          between stx and sty. On output stp is set to the new step.

370:        bracket is a logical variable which specifies if a minimizer
371:          has been bracketed.  If the minimizer has not been bracketed
372:          then on input bracket must be set false.  If the minimizer
373:          is bracketed then on output bracket is set true.

375:        stpmin and stpmax are input variables which specify lower
376:          and upper bounds for the step.

378:        info is an integer output variable set as follows:
379:          if info = 1,2,3,4,5, then the step has been computed
380:          according to one of the five cases below. otherwise
381:          info = 0, and this indicates improper input parameters.
