L-BFGS is an optimization algorithm in the family of quasi-Newton methods that approximates the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) algorithm using a limited amount of computer memory.
This library is a binding to Nocedal's implementation of L-BFGS-B which adds the possibility of setting bounds on the variables.
The easiest way to install the library is to use opam:
opam install lbfgs
If you clone this repository, download
Lbfgsb.3.0
and extract it in src/
(it should create src/Lbfgsb.3.0/
).
Then issue make
and make install
.
In case the right FORTRAN compiler for your platform is not
automatically found, you can specify it explicitly by exporting the
FORTRANC
variable before invoking opam
. For example
export FORTRANC=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gfortran.exe
opam install lbfgs
