TAOBNK#

Shared base-type for Bounded Newton-Krylov type algorithms. At each iteration, the BNK methods solve the symmetric system of equations to obtain the step direction dk: Hk dk = -gk for free variables only. The step can be globalized either through trust-region methods, or a line search, or a heuristic mixture of both.
