Second line_search in Powell's method #25

Closed mykelk closed 4 years ago

mykelk commented 4 years ago

In alg. 7.4 on line 102, the second instance of line_search should probably have x' instead of x. It doesn't matter for fig. 7.4 since we are doing pretty much exact line search, but I think the real algorithm should probably do the search starting from the end point. Right @tawheeler ?

thank you for checking. That does look like an x' is needed.
