Hi @yixuan,
Sorry it took me so long, but here's the implementation of the line search method as described in the "Numeric Optimization" book. The algorithm has no no name in the book, so I've dubbed it
LineSearchNocedalWright
after the book's authors.The PR also contains a little comparison of the three line search methods in the Rosenbrock case (feel free to remove it).
LineSearchBacktracking
andLineSearchBracketing
are roughly on par.LineSearchNocedalWright
on the other hand takes up to 10% less function calls, which is not bad.Feel free to make suggestions and changes, especially when it comes to the code formatting.
