## Description

The CONMIN library[87] is a public domain library of nonlinear programming optimizers, specifically the Fletcher-Reeves conjugate gradient (conmin_frcg) method for unconstrained optimization, and the method of feasible directions (conmin_mfd) for constrained optimization. As CONMIN was a predecessor to the DOT commercial library, the algorithm controls are very similar.
