# TAOBQNLS
Bounded Quasi-Newton Line Search method for nonlinear minimization with bound constraints. This method approximates the action of the inverse-Hessian with a limited memory quasi-Newton formula. The quasi-Newton matrix and its options are accessible via the prefix `-tao_bqnls_` 
## Options Database Keys

- ***-tao_bnk_max_cg_its -*** maximum number of bounded conjugate-gradient iterations taken in each Newton loop
- ***-tao_bnk_as_type -*** active-set estimation method ("none", "bertsekas")
- ***-tao_bnk_epsilon -*** (developer) tolerance for small pred/actual ratios that trigger automatic step acceptance
- ***-tao_bnk_as_tol -*** (developer) initial tolerance used in estimating bounded active variables (-as_type bertsekas)
- ***-tao_bnk_as_step -*** (developer) trial step length used in estimating bounded active variables (-as_type bertsekas)
