/**
 * This class implements simplex-based direct search optimization.
 *
 * <p>
 *  Direct search methods only use objective function values, they do
 *  not need derivatives and don't either try to compute approximation
 *  of the derivatives. According to a 1996 paper by Margaret H. Wright
 *  (<a href="http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/doc/96/4-02.ps.gz">Direct
 *  Search Methods: Once Scorned, Now Respectable</a>), they are used
 *  when either the computation of the derivative is impossible (noisy
 *  functions, unpredictable discontinuities) or difficult (complexity,
 *  computation cost). In the first cases, rather than an optimum, a
 *  <em>not too bad</em> point is desired. In the latter cases, an
 *  optimum is desired but cannot be reasonably found. In all cases
 *  direct search methods can be useful.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *  Simplex-based direct search methods are based on comparison of
 *  the objective function values at the vertices of a simplex (which is a
 *  set of n+1 points in dimension n) that is updated by the algorithms
 *  steps.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 *  The {@link #setSimplex(AbstractSimplex) setSimplex} method <em>must</em>
 *  be called prior to calling the {@code optimize} method.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *  Each call to {@link #optimize(int,MultivariateFunction,GoalType,double[])
 *  optimize} will re-use the start configuration of the current simplex and
 *  move it such that its first vertex is at the provided start point of the
 *  optimization. If the {@code optimize} method is called to solve a different
 *  problem and the number of parameters change, the simplex must be
 *  re-initialized to one with the appropriate dimensions.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *  Convergence is checked by providing the <em>worst</em> points of
 *  previous and current simplex to the convergence checker, not the best
 *  ones.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This simplex optimizer implementation does not directly support constrained
 * optimization with simple bounds, so for such optimizations, either a more
 * dedicated method must be used like {@link CMAESOptimizer} or {@link
 * BOBYQAOptimizer}, or the optimized method must be wrapped in an adapter like
 * {@link MultivariateFunctionMappingAdapter} or {@link
 * MultivariateFunctionPenaltyAdapter}.
 * </p>
