+%%NMSMAX Nelder-Mead simplex method for direct search optimization.
+%% [x, fmax, nf] = NMSMAX(FUN, x0, STOPIT, SAVIT) attempts to
+%% maximize the function FUN, using the starting vector x0.
+%% The Nelder-Mead direct search method is used.
+%% Output arguments:
+%% x = vector yielding largest function value found,
+%% fmax = function value at x,
+%% nf = number of function evaluations.
+%% The iteration is terminated when either
+%% - the relative size of the simplex is <= STOPIT(1)
+%% (default 1e-3),
+%% - STOPIT(2) function evaluations have been performed
+%% (default inf, i.e., no limit), or
+%% - a function value equals or exceeds STOPIT(3)
+%% (default inf, i.e., no test on function values).
+%% The form of the initial simplex is determined by STOPIT(4):
+%% STOPIT(4) = 0: regular simplex (sides of equal length, the default)
+%% STOPIT(4) = 1: right-angled simplex.
+%% Progress of the iteration is not shown if STOPIT(5) = 0 (default 1).
+%% STOPIT(6) indicates the direction (ie. minimization or
+%% maximization.) Default is 1, maximization.
+%% set STOPIT(6)=-1 for minimization
+%% If a non-empty fourth parameter string SAVIT is present, then
+%% `SAVE SAVIT x fmax nf' is executed after each inner iteration.
+%% NB: x0 can be a matrix. In the output argument, in SAVIT saves,
+%% and in function calls, x has the same shape as x0.
+%% NMSMAX(fun, x0, STOPIT, SAVIT, P1, P2,...) allows additional
+%% arguments to be passed to fun, via feval(fun,x,P1,P2,...).
