[OctDev] Re: Nonlinear optimization tutorial

[Etienne G. <et...@is...>]

  Hello,

this is just to send a slightly polished version of the previous
tutorial. Amongst other things, I replaced the front-end's name by
u_minimize(), so that it may be later possible to add other front ends
such as 

  u_minimize      :     unconstrained minimization
  c_minimize      :     constrained minimization
  l_minimize      :     linear programming
  leasqr          :     least squares
  ... your favorite optimization problem here ...

If these front-ends take care to call similar options by the same
name, it may be possible to then write a front-end for them all, why
not?

  Any opinions, suggestions? Shall I upload u_minimize (perhaps w/
another name) and the tutorial?

  Cheers,

  Etienne
