TAOBRGN

 Bounded Regularized Gauss-Newton method for solving nonlinear least-squares problems with bound constraints. This algorithm is a thin wrapper around TAOBNTL that constructs the Gauss-Newton problem with the user-provided least-squares residual and Jacobian. The algorithm offers both an L2-norm proximal point ("l2prox") regularizer, and a L1-norm dictionary regularizer ("l1dict"), where we approximate the L1-norm ||x||_1 by sum_i(sqrt(x_i^2+epsilon^2)-epsilon) with a small positive number epsilon. The user can also provide own regularization function.
