There were lots of static variables in the code, thus you could not optimize a function which required calling Minpack to be evaluated (a minimization-of-minimization problem for example): The Minpack code is not reentrant.All the function prototypes were following the original FORTRAN call conventions, so that all parameters are passed by reference (if a function needs an int parameter, you have to pass a pointer to this int).However, this version had several problems, Minpack, called CMinpack, obtained from the FORTRAN version using f2c and some Lourakis (lourakis at ics forth gr) released a C version of Minpack is licensed under a BSD-like license (available in the distribution). Restricts its inclusion in commercial software. Lourakis, but unfortunately is is released under the GPL, which L-M implementation in C/C++, levmar by Manolis Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (in fact, it is even better, since itĪdds to L-M automatic variables scaling). Minpack is probably the best open-source implementation of the Garbow, and Ken Hillstrom from Argonne National Laboratory, and the The original authors of the FORTRAN version are Jorge More', Burt Of the Jacobian matrix with the functions. Problems with a large amount of data, and for checking the consistency Systems of equations with a banded Jacobian matrix, for least squares The algorithms proceedĮither from an analytic specification of the Jacobian matrix orĭirectly from the problem functions. Five algorithmic paths each includeĪ core subroutine and an easy-to-use driver.
