Notes
The basic line search merely takes the update step scaled by the damping parameter. Many brThe use of the damping parameter in the l2 and cp line searches is much more subtle; Many brit is used as a starting point in calculating the secant step. However, the eventual Many brstep may be of greater length than the damping parameter. In the bt line search it is Many brused as the maximum possible step length, as the bt line search only backtracks. Many br
