  Options:
    ——-
    nitint, optional

      Number of iterations to make. If omitted (default), make as many as required to meet tolerances.

    dispbool, optional

      Print status to stdout on every iteration.

    maxiterint, optional

      Maximum number of iterations to make.

    ftolfloat, optional

      Relative tolerance for the residual. If omitted, not used.

    fatolfloat, optional

      Absolute tolerance (in max-norm) for the residual. If omitted, default is 6e-6.

    xtolfloat, optional

      Relative minimum step size. If omitted, not used.

    xatolfloat, optional

      Absolute minimum step size, as determined from the Jacobian approximation. If the step size is smaller than this, optimization is terminated as successful. If omitted, not used.

    tol_normfunction(vector) -> scalar, optional

      Norm to use in convergence check. Default is the maximum norm.

    line_search{None, ‘armijo’ (default), ‘wolfe’}, optional

      Which type of a line search to use to determine the step size in the direction given by the Jacobian approximation. Defaults to ‘armijo’.

    jac_optionsdict, optional

      Options for the respective Jacobian approximation.

      alphafloat, optional

        Initial guess for the Jacobian is (-1/alpha).

      reduction_methodstr or tuple, optional

        Method used in ensuring that the rank of the Broyden matrix stays low. Can either be a string giving the name of the method, or a tuple of the form `(method, param1, param2, ...)` that gives the name of the method and values for additional parameters.

        Methods available:

        - `restart`: drop all matrix columns. Has no extra parameters.

        - `simple`: drop oldest matrix column. Has no extra parameters.

        - `svd`: keep only the most significant SVD components. Takes an extra parameter, `to_retain`, which determines the number of SVD components to retain when rank reduction is done. Default is `max_rank - 2`.

      max_rankint, optional

        Maximum rank for the Broyden matrix. Default is infinity (i.e., no rank reduction).
