## @deftypefn  {Function File} {} optimset ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{options} =} optimset ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{options} =} optimset (@var{par}, @var{val}, @dots{})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{options} =} optimset (@var{old}, @var{par}, @var{val}, @dots{})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{options} =} optimset (@var{old}, @var{new})
## Create options structure for optimization functions.
##
## When called without any input or output arguments, @code{optimset} prints
## a list of all valid optimization parameters.
##
## When called with one output and no inputs, return an options structure with
## all valid option parameters initialized to @code{[]}.
##
## When called with a list of parameter/value pairs, return an options
## structure with only the named parameters initialized.
##
## When the first input is an existing options structure @var{old}, the values
## are updated from either the @var{par}/@var{val} list or from the options
## structure @var{new}.
##
## Valid parameters are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item AutoScaling
##
## @item ComplexEqn
##
## @item Display
## Request verbose display of results from optimizations.  Values are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"off"} [default]
## No display.
##
## @item @qcode{"iter"}
## Display intermediate results for every loop iteration.
##
## @item @qcode{"final"}
## Display the result of the final loop iteration.
##
## @item @qcode{"notify"}
## Display the result of the final loop iteration if the function has
## failed to converge.
## @end table
##
## @item FinDiffType
##
## @item FunValCheck
## When enabled, display an error if the objective function returns an invalid
## value (a complex number, NaN, or Inf).  Must be set to @qcode{"on"} or
## @qcode{"off"} [default].  Note: the functions @code{fzero} and
## @code{fminbnd} correctly handle Inf values and only complex values or NaN
## will cause an error in this case.
##
## @item GradObj
## When set to @qcode{"on"}, the function to be minimized must return a
## second argument which is the gradient, or first derivative, of the
## function at the point @var{x}.  If set to @qcode{"off"} [default], the
## gradient is computed via finite differences.
##
## @item Jacobian
## When set to @qcode{"on"}, the function to be minimized must return a
## second argument which is the Jacobian, or first derivative, of the
## function at the point @var{x}.  If set to @qcode{"off"} [default], the
## Jacobian is computed via finite differences.
##
## @item MaxFunEvals
## Maximum number of function evaluations before optimization stops.
## Must be a positive integer.
##
## @item MaxIter
## Maximum number of algorithm iterations before optimization stops.
## Must be a positive integer.
##
## @item OutputFcn
## A user-defined function executed once per algorithm iteration.
##
## @item TolFun
## Termination criterion for the function output.  If the difference in the
## calculated objective function between one algorithm iteration and the next
## is less than @code{TolFun} the optimization stops.  Must be a positive
## scalar.
##
## @item TolX
## Termination criterion for the function input.  If the difference in @var{x},
## the current search point, between one algorithm iteration and the next is
## less than @code{TolX} the optimization stops.  Must be a positive scalar.
