TAONLS

Newton's method with linesearch for unconstrained minimization. At each iteration, the Newton line search method solves the symmetric system of equations to obtain the step diretion dk: Hk dk = -gk a More-Thuente line search is applied on the direction dk to approximately solve min_t f(xk + t d_k)
