  Options: | ftol : float Precision goal for the value of f in the stopping criterion. eps : float Step size used for numerical approximation of the jacobian. disp : bool Set to True to print convergence messages. If False, verbosity is ignored and set to 0. maxiter : int Maximum number of iterations.
