  Options: | nit : int, optional Number of iterations to make. If omitted (default), make as many as required to meet tolerances. disp : bool, optional Print status to stdout on every iteration. maxiter : int, optional Maximum number of iterations to make. If more are needed to meet convergence, `NoConvergence` is raised. ftol : float, optional Relative tolerance for the residual. If omitted, not used. fatol : float, optional Absolute tolerance (in max-norm) for the residual. If omitted, default is 6e-6. xtol : float, optional Relative minimum step size. If omitted, not used. xatol : float, optional Absolute minimum step size, as determined from the Jacobian approximation. If the step size is smaller than this, optimization is terminated as successful. If omitted, not used. tol_norm : function(vector) -> scalar, optional Norm to use in convergence check. Default is the maximum norm. line_search : {None, ‘armijo’ (default), ‘wolfe’}, optional Which type of a line search to use to determine the step size in the direction given by the Jacobian approximation. Defaults to ‘armijo’. jac_options : dict, optional Options for the respective Jacobian approximation. alpha : float, optional initial guess for the jacobian is (-1/alpha).
