From the website for the L-BFGS-B code (from at
http://www.ece.northwestern.edu/~nocedal/lbfgsb.html):
"""
L-BFGS-B is a limited-memory quasi-Newton code for bound-constrained
optimization, i.e. for problems where the only constraints are of the
form l<= x <= u.
"""
This is a Python wrapper (using F2PY) written by David M. Cooke
<cookedm@physics.mcmaster.ca> and released as version 0.9 on April 9, 2004.
The wrapper was slightly modified by Joonas Paalasmaa for the 3.0 version
in March 2012.
License of L-BFGS-B (Fortran code)
==================================
The version included here (in lbfgsb.f) is 3.0 (released April 25, 2011). It was
written by Ciyou Zhu, Richard Byrd, and Jorge Nocedal <nocedal@ece.nwu.edu>. It
carries the following condition for use:

The Python wrapper
==================
This code uses F2PY (http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/) to generate
the wrapper around the Fortran code.
The Python code and wrapper are copyrighted 2004 by David M. Cooke
<cookedm@physics.mcmaster.ca>.
Installation
============
Make sure you have F2PY, scipy_distutils, and a BLAS library that
scipy_distutils can find. Then,
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
and you're done.
Example usage
=============
An example of the usage is given at the bottom of the lbfgsb.py file.
Run it with 'python lbfgsb.py'.
