All function will receive the position to evaluate and return an entire state (x, f(x), grad*, hessian*). This simplifies the interface, while template parameters take care of treating functions according to differentiability.
To support constrained problems, these are wrapped as an unconstrained one via penalty method and augmented Lagrangian, so they can be solved with any existing solver in this library.
It supports now:
min f(x)
s.t. c1(x) >= 0
c2(x) = 0
Several changes are made to L-BFGS for more robust numerical handling of edge-cases.
