further optimization func

[Jaroslav Hajek]

hello,

continuing in my aim to make Octave the computing platform for our
optimization team here at our institute,
I'd like to attend to some more optimization functions in Octave (and
also OctaveForge's optim).

The natural optimization counterparts to fzero (1d nonl. equation) and
fsolve (local newton iteration)
are fminbnd (1d minimization) and fminunc (local gradient search). I'd
like to make at least these two part
of Octave - I think they're basic optimization stuff. Does anyone have
a strong opinion about this?
I think I can partly reuse the OctaveForge codes, though I'd like to
do some major changes.

comments?

cheers
