+## @item ComplexEqn
+##
+## @item FinDiffType
+##
+## @item FunValCheck
+## When enabled, display an error if the objective function returns a complex
+## value or NaN@. Must be set to "on" or "off" [default].
+##
+## @item GradObj
+## When set to "on", the function to be minimized must return a second argument
+## which is the gradient, or first derivative, of the function at the point
+## @var{x}. If set to "off" [default], the gradient is computed via finite
+## differences.
+##
+## @item Jacobian
+## When set to "on", the function to be minimized must return a second argument
+## which is the Jacobian, or first derivative, of the function at the point
+## @var{x}. If set to "off" [default], the Jacobian is computed via finite
+## differences.
+##
+## @item MaxFunEvals
+## Maximum number of function evaluations before optimization stops.
+## Must be a positive integer.
+##
+## @item MaxIter
+## Maximum number of algorithm iterations before optimization stops.
+## Must be a positive integer.
+##
+## @item OutputFcn
+## A user-defined function executed once per algorithm iteration.
+##
+## @item TolFun
+## Termination criterion for the function output. If the difference in the
+## calculated objective function between one algorithm iteration and the next
+## is less than @code{TolFun} the optimization stops. Must be a positive
+## scalar.
+##
+## @item TolX
+## Termination criterion for the function input. If the difference in @var{x},
