  NONLINEAR_CONJUGATE_GRADIENT,

  // BFGS, and it's limited memory approximation L-BFGS, are quasi-Newton
  // algorithms that approximate the Hessian matrix by iteratively refining
  // an initial estimate with rank-one updates using the gradient at each
  // iteration. They are a generalisation of the Secant method and satisfy
  // the Secant equation.  The Secant equation has an infinium of solutions
  // in multiple dimensions, as there are N*(N+1)/2 degrees of freedom in a
  // symmetric matrix but only N conditions are specified by the Secant
  // equation. The requirement that the Hessian approximation be positive
  // definite imposes another N additional constraints, but that still leaves
  // remaining degrees-of-freedom.  (L)BFGS methods uniquely deteremine the
  // approximate Hessian by imposing the additional constraints that the
  // approximation at the next iteration must be the 'closest' to the current
  // approximation (the nature of how this proximity is measured is actually
  // the defining difference between a family of quasi-Newton methods including
  // (L)BFGS & DFP). (L)BFGS is currently regarded as being the best known
  // general quasi-Newton method.
  //
  // The principal difference between BFGS and L-BFGS is that whilst BFGS
  // maintains a full, dense approximation to the (inverse) Hessian, L-BFGS
  // maintains only a window of the last M observations of the parameters and
  // gradients. Using this observation history, the calculation of the next
  // search direction can be computed without requiring the construction of the
  // full dense inverse Hessian approximation. This is particularly important
  // for problems with a large number of parameters, where storage of an N-by-N
  // matrix in memory would be prohibitive.
