    Creates a ScalarFunction object for use with scalar minimizers
    (BFGS/LBFGSB/SLSQP/TNC/CG/etc).

    Parameters
    ----------
    fun : callable
        The objective function to be minimized.

            ``fun(x, *args) -> float``

        where ``x`` is an 1-D array with shape (n,) and ``args``
        is a tuple of the fixed parameters needed to completely
        specify the function.
    x0 : ndarray, shape (n,)
        Initial guess. Array of real elements of size (n,),
        where 'n' is the number of independent variables.
    jac : {callable,  '2-point', '3-point', 'cs', None}, optional
        Method for computing the gradient vector. If it is a callable, it
        should be a function that returns the gradient vector:

            ``jac(x, *args) -> array_like, shape (n,)``

        If one of `{'2-point', '3-point', 'cs'}` is selected then the gradient
        is calculated with a relative step for finite differences. If `None`,
        then two-point finite differences with an absolute step is used.
    args : tuple, optional
        Extra arguments passed to the objective function and its
        derivatives (`fun`, `jac` functions).
    bounds : sequence, optional
        Bounds on variables. 'new-style' bounds are required.
    eps : float or ndarray
        If `jac is None` the absolute step size used for numerical
        approximation of the jacobian via forward differences.
    finite_diff_rel_step : None or array_like, optional
        If `jac in ['2-point', '3-point', 'cs']` the relative step size to
        use for numerical approximation of the jacobian. The absolute step
        size is computed as ``h = rel_step * sign(x0) * max(1, abs(x0))``,
        possibly adjusted to fit into the bounds. For ``method='3-point'``
        the sign of `h` is ignored. If None (default) then step is selected
        automatically.
    hess : {callable,  '2-point', '3-point', 'cs', None}
        Computes the Hessian matrix. If it is callable, it should return the
        Hessian matrix:

            ``hess(x, *args) -> {LinearOperator, spmatrix, array}, (n, n)``

        Alternatively, the keywords {'2-point', '3-point', 'cs'} select a
        finite difference scheme for numerical estimation.
        Whenever the gradient is estimated via finite-differences, the Hessian
        cannot be estimated with options {'2-point', '3-point', 'cs'} and needs
        to be estimated using one of the quasi-Newton strategies.

    minimize: Interface to minimization algorithms for multivariate

    Notes
    -----
    Uses a Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm to find the minimum of function of
    one or more variables.

    This algorithm has a long history of successful use in applications.
    But it will usually be slower than an algorithm that uses first or
    second derivative information. In practice, it can have poor
    performance in high-dimensional problems and is not robust to
    minimizing complicated functions. Additionally, there currently is no
    complete theory describing when the algorithm will successfully
    converge to the minimum, or how fast it will if it does. Both the ftol and
    xtol criteria must be met for convergence.

    """
    Minimization of scalar function of one or more variables using the
    Nelder-Mead algorithm.

    Options
    -------
    disp : bool
        Set to True to print convergence messages.
    maxiter, maxfev : int
        Maximum allowed number of iterations and function evaluations.
        Will default to ``N*200``, where ``N`` is the number of
        variables, if neither `maxiter` or `maxfev` is set. If both
        `maxiter` and `maxfev` are set, minimization will stop at the
        first reached.
    return_all : bool, optional
        Set to True to return a list of the best solution at each of the
        iterations.
    initial_simplex : array_like of shape (N + 1, N)
        Initial simplex. If given, overrides `x0`.
        ``initial_simplex[j,:]`` should contain the coordinates of
        the jth vertex of the ``N+1`` vertices in the simplex, where
        ``N`` is the dimension.
    xatol : float, optional
        Absolute error in xopt between iterations that is acceptable for
        convergence.
    fatol : number, optional
        Absolute error in func(xopt) between iterations that is acceptable for
        convergence.
    adaptive : bool, optional
        Adapt algorithm parameters to dimensionality of problem. Useful for
        high-dimensional minimization [1]_.
    bounds : sequence or `Bounds`, optional
        Bounds on variables. There are two ways to specify the bounds:

            1. Instance of `Bounds` class.
            2. Sequence of ``(min, max)`` pairs for each element in `x`. None
               is used to specify no bound.

        Note that this just clips all vertices in simplex based on
        the bounds.

    Parameters
    ----------
    xk : array_like
        The coordinate vector at which to determine the gradient of `f`.
    f : callable
        The function of which to determine the gradient (partial derivatives).
        Should take `xk` as first argument, other arguments to `f` can be
        supplied in ``*args``. Should return a scalar, the value of the
        function at `xk`.
    epsilon : array_like
        Increment to `xk` to use for determining the function gradient.
        If a scalar, uses the same finite difference delta for all partial
        derivatives. If an array, should contain one value per element of
        `xk`.

    Notes
    -----
    The function gradient is determined by the forward finite difference

        Print convergence message if True.
    retall : bool, optional
        Return a list of results at each iteration if True.

    Returns
    -------

    fopt : float
        Minimum value.
    gopt : ndarray
        Value of gradient at minimum, f'(xopt), which should be near 0.

        Number of function_calls made.
    grad_calls : int
        Number of gradient calls made.
    warnflag : integer
        1 : Maximum number of iterations exceeded.
        2 : Gradient and/or function calls not changing.
        3 : NaN result encountered.
    allvecs : list
        The value of `xopt` at each iteration. Only returned if `retall` is
        True.

    """
    Minimize a function using a nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm.

    Parameters
    ----------
    f : callable, ``f(x, *args)``
        Objective function to be minimized. Here `x` must be a 1-D array of
        the variables that are to be changed in the search for a minimum, and
        `args` are the other (fixed) parameters of `f`.
    x0 : ndarray
        A user-supplied initial estimate of `xopt`, the optimal value of `x`.
        It must be a 1-D array of values.
    fprime : callable, ``fprime(x, *args)``, optional
        A function that returns the gradient of `f` at `x`. Here `x` and `args`
        are as described above for `f`. The returned value must be a 1-D array.
        Defaults to None, in which case the gradient is approximated
        numerically (see `epsilon`, below).
    args : tuple, optional
        Parameter values passed to `f` and `fprime`. Must be supplied whenever
        additional fixed parameters are needed to completely specify the
        functions `f` and `fprime`.
    gtol : float, optional
        Stop when the norm of the gradient is less than `gtol`.
    norm : float, optional
        Order to use for the norm of the gradient
        (``-np.Inf`` is min, ``np.Inf`` is max).
    epsilon : float or ndarray, optional
        Step size(s) to use when `fprime` is approximated numerically. Can be a
        scalar or a 1-D array. Defaults to ``sqrt(eps)``, with eps the
        floating point machine precision.  Usually ``sqrt(eps)`` is about
        1.5e-8.
    maxiter : int, optional
        Maximum number of iterations to perform. Default is ``200 * len(x0)``.
    full_output : bool, optional
        If True, return `fopt`, `func_calls`, `grad_calls`, and `warnflag` in
        addition to `xopt`.  See the Returns section below for additional
        information on optional return values.
    disp : bool, optional
        If True, return a convergence message, followed by `xopt`.
    retall : bool, optional
        If True, add to the returned values the results of each iteration.
    callback : callable, optional
        An optional user-supplied function, called after each iteration.
        Called as ``callback(xk)``, where ``xk`` is the current value of `x0`.

    Returns
    -------
    xopt : ndarray
        Parameters which minimize f, i.e., ``f(xopt) == fopt``.
    fopt : float, optional
        Minimum value found, f(xopt). Only returned if `full_output` is True.
    func_calls : int, optional
        The number of function_calls made. Only returned if `full_output`
        is True.
    grad_calls : int, optional
        The number of gradient calls made. Only returned if `full_output` is
        True.
    warnflag : int, optional
        Integer value with warning status, only returned if `full_output` is
        True.

        0 : Success.

        1 : The maximum number of iterations was exceeded.

        2 : Gradient and/or function calls were not changing. May indicate
            that precision was lost, i.e., the routine did not converge.

        3 : NaN result encountered.

    allvecs : list of ndarray, optional
        List of arrays, containing the results at each iteration.
        Only returned if `retall` is True.

    See Also
    --------
    minimize : common interface to all `scipy.optimize` algorithms for
               unconstrained and constrained minimization of multivariate
               functions. It provides an alternative way to call
               ``fmin_cg``, by specifying ``method='CG'``.

    Notes
    -----
    This conjugate gradient algorithm is based on that of Polak and Ribiere
    [1]_.

    Conjugate gradient methods tend to work better when:

    1. `f` has a unique global minimizing point, and no local minima or
       other stationary points,
    2. `f` is, at least locally, reasonably well approximated by a
       quadratic function of the variables,
    3. `f` is continuous and has a continuous gradient,
    4. `fprime` is not too large, e.g., has a norm less than 1000,
    5. The initial guess, `x0`, is reasonably close to `f` 's global
       minimizing point, `xopt`.

    Unconstrained minimization of a function using the Newton-CG method.

    Parameters
    ----------
    f : callable ``f(x, *args)``
        Objective function to be minimized.
    x0 : ndarray
        Initial guess.
    fprime : callable ``f'(x, *args)``
        Gradient of f.
    fhess_p : callable ``fhess_p(x, p, *args)``, optional
        Function which computes the Hessian of f times an
        arbitrary vector, p.
    fhess : callable ``fhess(x, *args)``, optional
        Function to compute the Hessian matrix of f.
    args : tuple, optional
        Extra arguments passed to f, fprime, fhess_p, and fhess
        (the same set of extra arguments is supplied to all of
        these functions).
    epsilon : float or ndarray, optional
        If fhess is approximated, use this value for the step size.
    callback : callable, optional
        An optional user-supplied function which is called after
        each iteration. Called as callback(xk), where xk is the
        current parameter vector.
    avextol : float, optional
        Convergence is assumed when the average relative error in
        the minimizer falls below this amount.
    maxiter : int, optional
        Maximum number of iterations to perform.
    full_output : bool, optional
        If True, return the optional outputs.
    disp : bool, optional
        If True, print convergence message.
    retall : bool, optional
        If True, return a list of results at each iteration.

    Returns
    -------
    xopt : ndarray
        Parameters which minimize f, i.e., ``f(xopt) == fopt``.
    fopt : float
        Value of the function at xopt, i.e., ``fopt = f(xopt)``.
    fcalls : int
        Number of function calls made.
    gcalls : int
        Number of gradient calls made.
    hcalls : int
        Number of Hessian calls made.
    warnflag : int
        Warnings generated by the algorithm.
        1 : Maximum number of iterations exceeded.
        2 : Line search failure (precision loss).
        3 : NaN result encountered.
    allvecs : list
        The result at each iteration, if retall is True (see below).

    See also
    --------
    minimize: Interface to minimization algorithms for multivariate
        functions. See the 'Newton-CG' `method` in particular.

    Notes
    -----
    Only one of `fhess_p` or `fhess` need to be given.  If `fhess`
    is provided, then `fhess_p` will be ignored. If neither `fhess`
    nor `fhess_p` is provided, then the hessian product will be
    approximated using finite differences on `fprime`. `fhess_p`
    must compute the hessian times an arbitrary vector. If it is not
    given, finite-differences on `fprime` are used to compute
    it.

    Newton-CG methods are also called truncated Newton methods. This
    function differs from scipy.optimize.fmin_tnc because

    1. scipy.optimize.fmin_ncg is written purely in Python using NumPy
        and scipy while scipy.optimize.fmin_tnc calls a C function.
    2. scipy.optimize.fmin_ncg is only for unconstrained minimization
        while scipy.optimize.fmin_tnc is for unconstrained minimization
        or box constrained minimization. (Box constraints give
        lower and upper bounds for each variable separately.)

    Notes
    -----
    Uses a modification of Powell's method to find the minimum of
    a function of N variables. Powell's method is a conjugate
    direction method.

    The algorithm has two loops. The outer loop merely iterates over the inner
    loop. The inner loop minimizes over each current direction in the direction
    set. At the end of the inner loop, if certain conditions are met, the
    direction that gave the largest decrease is dropped and replaced with the
    difference between the current estimated x and the estimated x from the
    beginning of the inner-loop.

    The technical conditions for replacing the direction of greatest
    increase amount to checking that

    1. No further gain can be made along the direction of greatest increase
       from that iteration.
    2. The direction of greatest increase accounted for a large sufficient
       fraction of the decrease in the function value from that iteration of
       the inner loop.

def brute(func, ranges, args=(), Ns=20, full_output=0, finish=fmin,
          disp=False, workers=1):
    """Minimize a function over a given range by brute force.

    Uses the "brute force" method, i.e., computes the function's value
    at each point of a multidimensional grid of points, to find the global
    minimum of the function.

    The function is evaluated everywhere in the range with the datatype of the
    first call to the function, as enforced by the ``vectorize`` NumPy
    function. The value and type of the function evaluation returned when
    ``full_output=True`` are affected in addition by the ``finish`` argument
    (see Notes).

    The brute force approach is inefficient because the number of grid points
    increases exponentially - the number of grid points to evaluate is
    ``Ns ** len(x)``. Consequently, even with coarse grid spacing, even
    moderately sized problems can take a long time to run, and/or run into
    memory limitations.

    Parameters
    ----------
    func : callable
        The objective function to be minimized. Must be in the
        form ``f(x, *args)``, where ``x`` is the argument in
        the form of a 1-D array and ``args`` is a tuple of any
        additional fixed parameters needed to completely specify
        the function.
    ranges : tuple
        Each component of the `ranges` tuple must be either a
        "slice object" or a range tuple of the form ``(low, high)``.
        The program uses these to create the grid of points on which
        the objective function will be computed. See `Note 2` for
        more detail.
    args : tuple, optional
        Any additional fixed parameters needed to completely specify
        the function.
    Ns : int, optional
        Number of grid points along the axes, if not otherwise
        specified. See `Note2`.
    full_output : bool, optional
        If True, return the evaluation grid and the objective function's
        values on it.
    finish : callable, optional
        An optimization function that is called with the result of brute force
        minimization as initial guess. `finish` should take `func` and
        the initial guess as positional arguments, and take `args` as
        keyword arguments. It may additionally take `full_output`
        and/or `disp` as keyword arguments. Use None if no "polishing"
        function is to be used. See Notes for more details.
    disp : bool, optional
        Set to True to print convergence messages from the `finish` callable.
    workers : int or map-like callable, optional
        If `workers` is an int the grid is subdivided into `workers`
        sections and evaluated in parallel (uses
        `multiprocessing.Pool <multiprocessing>`).
        Supply `-1` to use all cores available to the Process.
        Alternatively supply a map-like callable, such as
        `multiprocessing.Pool.map` for evaluating the grid in parallel.
        This evaluation is carried out as ``workers(func, iterable)``.
        Requires that `func` be pickleable.

        .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

    Returns
    -------
    x0 : ndarray
        A 1-D array containing the coordinates of a point at which the
        objective function had its minimum value. (See `Note 1` for
        which point is returned.)
    fval : float
        Function value at the point `x0`. (Returned when `full_output` is
        True.)
    grid : tuple
        Representation of the evaluation grid. It has the same
        length as `x0`. (Returned when `full_output` is True.)
    Jout : ndarray
        Function values at each point of the evaluation
        grid, i.e., ``Jout = func(*grid)``. (Returned
        when `full_output` is True.)

    See Also

    Notes
    -----
    *Note 1*: The program finds the gridpoint at which the lowest value
    of the objective function occurs. If `finish` is None, that is the
    point returned. When the global minimum occurs within (or not very far
    outside) the grid's boundaries, and the grid is fine enough, that
    point will be in the neighborhood of the global minimum.

    However, users often employ some other optimization program to
    "polish" the gridpoint values, i.e., to seek a more precise
    (local) minimum near `brute's` best gridpoint.
    The `brute` function's `finish` option provides a convenient way to do
    that. Any polishing program used must take `brute's` output as its
    initial guess as a positional argument, and take `brute's` input values
    for `args` as keyword arguments, otherwise an error will be raised.
    It may additionally take `full_output` and/or `disp` as keyword arguments.

    `brute` assumes that the `finish` function returns either an
    `OptimizeResult` object or a tuple in the form:
    ``(xmin, Jmin, ... , statuscode)``, where ``xmin`` is the minimizing
    value of the argument, ``Jmin`` is the minimum value of the objective
    function, "..." may be some other returned values (which are not used
    by `brute`), and ``statuscode`` is the status code of the `finish` program.

    Note that when `finish` is not None, the values returned are those
    of the `finish` program, *not* the gridpoint ones. Consequently,
    while `brute` confines its search to the input grid points,
    the `finish` program's results usually will not coincide with any
    gridpoint, and may fall outside the grid's boundary. Thus, if a
    minimum only needs to be found over the provided grid points, make
    sure to pass in `finish=None`.

    *Note 2*: The grid of points is a `numpy.mgrid` object.
    For `brute` the `ranges` and `Ns` inputs have the following effect.
    Each component of the `ranges` tuple can be either a slice object or a
    two-tuple giving a range of values, such as (0, 5). If the component is a
    slice object, `brute` uses it directly. If the component is a two-tuple
    range, `brute` internally converts it to a slice object that interpolates
    `Ns` points from its low-value to its high-value, inclusive.

    Examples
    --------
    We illustrate the use of `brute` to seek the global minimum of a function
    of two variables that is given as the sum of a positive-definite
    quadratic and two deep "Gaussian-shaped" craters. Specifically, define
    the objective function `f` as the sum of three other functions,
    ``f = f1 + f2 + f3``. We suppose each of these has a signature
    ``(z, *params)``, where ``z = (x, y)``,  and ``params`` and the functions
    are as defined below.

    >>> params = (2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 44, -1, 2, 26, 1, -2, 0.5)
    >>> def f1(z, *params):
    ...     x, y = z
    ...     a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, scale = params
    ...     return (a * x**2 + b * x * y + c * y**2 + d*x + e*y + f)

    >>> def f2(z, *params):
    ...     x, y = z
    ...     a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, scale = params
    ...     return (-g*np.exp(-((x-h)**2 + (y-i)**2) / scale))

    >>> def f3(z, *params):
    ...     x, y = z
    ...     a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, scale = params
    ...     return (-j*np.exp(-((x-k)**2 + (y-l)**2) / scale))

    >>> def f(z, *params):
    ...     return f1(z, *params) + f2(z, *params) + f3(z, *params)

    Thus, the objective function may have local minima near the minimum
    of each of the three functions of which it is composed. To
    use `fmin` to polish its gridpoint result, we may then continue as
    follows:

    >>> rranges = (slice(-4, 4, 0.25), slice(-4, 4, 0.25))
    >>> from scipy import optimize
    >>> resbrute = optimize.brute(f, rranges, args=params, full_output=True,
    ...                           finish=optimize.fmin)
    >>> resbrute[0]  # global minimum
    array([-1.05665192,  1.80834843])
    >>> resbrute[1]  # function value at global minimum
    -3.4085818767

    Note that if `finish` had been set to None, we would have gotten the
    gridpoint [-1.0 1.75] where the rounded function value is -2.892.

    Examples
    --------
    We can print documentations of a solver in stdout:

    >>> from scipy.optimize import show_options
    >>> show_options(solver="minimize")
    ...

    Specifying a method is possible:

    >>> show_options(solver="minimize", method="Nelder-Mead")
    ...

    We can also get the documentations as a string:

    >>> show_options(solver="minimize", method="Nelder-Mead", disp=False)
    Minimization of scalar function of one or more variables using the ...
