// linemin: quadratic line search (adapted from Dennis and Schnabel)
// The objective function is approximated by a quadratic

// method. However, since the change in the objective function
// (difference of two finite numbers) is not known as accurately
// as the gradient (which is close to zero), all the expressions
// are written in terms of gradients. In this way, we can converge
// the LAMMPS forces much closer to zero.
//
// We know E,Eprev,fh,fhprev. The Taylor series about alpha_prev
// truncated at the quadratic term is:
//
// E = Eprev - del_alpha*fhprev + (1/2)del_alpha^2*Hprev
//
// and
//
// fh = fhprev - del_alpha*Hprev
//
// where del_alpha = alpha-alpha_prev
//
// We solve these two equations for Hprev and E=Esolve, giving:
//
// Esolve = Eprev - del_alpha*(f+fprev)/2
//
// We define relerr to be:
//
// relerr = |(Esolve-E)/Eprev|
// = |1.0 - (0.5*del_alpha*(f+fprev)+E)/Eprev|
//
// If this is accurate to within a reasonable tolerance, then
// we go ahead and use a secant step to fh = 0:
//
// alpha0 = alpha - (alpha-alphaprev)*fh/delfh;

forcezero linesearch method - seeks a zero of force in a robust manner.
(motivated by a line minimization routine of f77 DYNAMO code)
central idea:
In each linesearch we attempt to converge to a zero of force
(usual case) or reduces forces (worst case).
Energy does not play any role in the search procedure,
except we ensure that it doesn't increase.
pseudo code:
i) Fix an alpha max:
// also account for nextra atom & global
alpha_max <= dmax/hmaxall
ii) Initialize:
fhCurr = current_force.dot.search_direction
fhoriginal = fhCurr
// try decreasing the energy to 1/10 of initial
alpha_init = 0.1*fabs(eoriginal)/fhCurr;
// initial alpha is smaller than alpha_max
alpha_del = MIN(alpha_init, 0.5*alpha_max);
alpha = 0.0
iii) Loop:
backtrack = false
alpha += alpha_del
if (alpha > alpha_max):
// we have done enough in the search space
EXIT with success
Step with the new alpha
Compute:
current energy and 'fhCurr'
de = ecurrent - eprev
// ZERO_ENERGY = 1e-12, is max allowed energy increase
if (de > ZERO_ENERGY):
bactrack = true
// GRAD_TOL = 0.1
if ( (not backtrack) && (fabs(fhCurr/fh0) <= GRAD_TOL) ):
// forces sufficiently reduced without energy increase
EXIT with success
// projected force changed sign but didn't become small enough
if ( fhCurr < 0):
backtrack = true
if (bactrack):
// forces along search direction changed sign
if (fhCurr < 0):
Get alpha_del by solving for zero
of force (1D Newton's Method)
else:
// force didn't change sign but only energy increased,
// we overshot a minimum which is very close to a
// maximum (or there is an inflection point)
// New alpha_del should be much smaller
// ALPHA_FACT = 0.1
alpha_del *= ALPHA_FACT
// Check to see if new 'alpha_del' isn't too small
if (alpha_del < MIN_ALPHA):
EXIT with failure("linesearch alpha is zero")
Undo the step of alpha.
// continue the loop with a new alpha_del
else:
Get new alpha_del by linearizing force and solving for its zero
