TYPE: enum = GOLD

Usage: TYPE GOLD

Valid values:

• 2PNT extrapolate based on 2 points

• GOLD perform 1D golden section search of the minimum (very expensive)

• FIT perform 1D fit of a parabola on several evaluation of energy (very expensive and more robust vs numerical noise)

1D line search algorithm to be used with the CG optimizer, in increasing order of robustness and cost. [Edit on GitHub]
