## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{x}, @var{fval}, @var{info}, @var{output}] =} fminbnd (@var{fun}, @var{a}, @var{b}, @var{options})
## Find a minimum point of a univariate function.  @var{fun} should be a
## function
## handle or name.  @var{a}, @var{b} specify a starting interval.  @var{options}
## is a
## structure specifying additional options.  Currently, @code{fminbnd}
## recognizes these options: @code{"FunValCheck"}, @code{"OutputFcn"},
## @code{"TolX"}, @code{"MaxIter"}, @code{"MaxFunEvals"}.
## For description of these options, see @ref{doc-optimset,,optimset}.
##
## On exit, the function returns @var{x}, the approximate minimum point
## and @var{fval}, the function value thereof.
## @var{info} is an exit flag that can have these values:
##
## @itemize
## @item 1
## The algorithm converged to a solution.
##
## @item 0
## Maximum number of iterations or function evaluations has been exhausted.
##
## @item -1
## The algorithm has been terminated from user output function.
## @end itemize
## @seealso{optimset, fzero, fminunc}
## @end deftypefn

## This is patterned after opt/fmin.f from Netlib, which in turn is taken from
## Richard Brent: Algorithms For Minimization Without Derivatives, Prentice-Hall (1973)
