Optim.jl is part of the [JuliaNLSolvers](https://github.com/JuliaNLSolvers)
family.## Help and support
For help and support, please post on the [Optimization (Mathematical)](https://discourse.julialang.org/c/domain/opt/13)
section of the Julia discourse or the `#math-optimization` channel of the Julia [slack](https://julialang.org/slack/).## Installation
Install `Optim.jl` using the Julia package manager:
```julia
import Pkg
Pkg.add("Optim")
```## Documentation
The online documentation is available at [https://julianlsolvers.github.io/Optim.jl/stable](https://julianlsolvers.github.io/Optim.jl/stable).
## Example
To minimize the [Rosenbrock function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenbrock_function),
do:
```julia
julia> using Optimjulia> rosenbrock(x) = (1.0 - x[1])^2 + 100.0 * (x[2] - x[1]^2)^2
rosenbrock (generic function with 1 method)julia> result = optimize(rosenbrock, zeros(2), BFGS())
* Status: success* Candidate solution

```To get information on the keywords used to construct method instances, use the
Julia REPL help prompt (`?`)
```julia
help?> LBFGS

≡≡≡≡≡Constructor
===========LBFGS(; m::Integer = 10,
alphaguess = LineSearches.InitialStatic(),
linesearch = LineSearches.HagerZhang(),
P=nothing,
precondprep = (P, x) -> nothing,
manifold = Flat(),
scaleinvH0::Bool = true && (typeof(P) <: Nothing))LBFGS has two special keywords; the memory length m, and the scaleinvH0 flag.
The memory length determines how many previous Hessian approximations to
store. When scaleinvH0 == true, then the initial guess in the two-loop
recursion to approximate the inverse Hessian is the scaled identity, as can be
found in Nocedal and Wright (2nd edition) (sec. 7.2).In addition, LBFGS supports preconditioning via the P and precondprep keywords.
Description
===========The LBFGS method implements the limited-memory BFGS algorithm as described in
Nocedal and Wright (sec. 7.2, 2006) and original paper by Liu & Nocedal
(1989). It is a quasi-Newton method that updates an approximation to the
Hessian using past approximations as well as the gradient.References

```## Use with JuMP
You can use Optim.jl with [JuMP.jl](https://github.com/jump-dev/JuMP.jl) as
follows:```julia
julia> using JuMP, Optimjulia> model = Model(Optim.Optimizer);
julia> set_optimizer_attribute(model, "method", BFGS())
julia> @variable(model, x[1:2]);
julia> @objective(model, Min, (1.0 - x[1])^2 + 100.0 * (x[2] - x[1]^2)^2)
(x[1]² - 2 x[1] + 1) + (100.0 * ((-x[1]² + x[2]) ^ 2.0))julia> optimize!(model)
julia> objective_value(model)
