  Options: | disp : bool Set to True to print convergence messages. xtol : float Relative error in solution xopt acceptable for convergence. ftol : float Relative error in `fun(xopt)` acceptable for convergence. maxiter : int Maximum number of iterations to perform. maxfev : int Maximum number of function evaluations to make.
