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

336:      subroutine mcstep

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

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

349:      the subroutine statement is

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

354:      where

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

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

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

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

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

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