Five algorithmic paths each include a core subroutine and an easy-to-use driver. The algorithms proceed either from an analytic specification of the Jacobian matrix or directly from the problem functions. The paths include facilities for systems of equations with a banded Jacobian matrix, for least squares problems with a large amount of data, and for checking the consistency of the Jacobian matrix with the functions. This is the C re-write of the original fortran minpack implementation. </longdescription> <upstream> <remote-id type="github">devernay/cminpack</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
