## Find a minimum point of a univariate function.
##
## @var{fcn} is a function handle, inline function, or string containing the
## name of the function to evaluate.
##
## The starting interval is specified by @var{a} (left boundary) and @var{b}
## (right boundary).  The endpoints must be finite.
##
## @var{options} is a structure specifying additional parameters which
## control the algorithm.  Currently, @code{fminbnd} recognizes these options:
## @qcode{"Display"}, @qcode{"FunValCheck"}, @qcode{"MaxFunEvals"},
## @qcode{"MaxIter"}, @qcode{"OutputFcn"}, @qcode{"TolX"}.
##
## @qcode{"MaxFunEvals"} proscribes the maximum number of function evaluations
## before optimization is halted.  The default value is 500.
## The value must be a positive integer.
##
## @qcode{"MaxIter"} proscribes the maximum number of algorithm iterations
## before optimization is halted.  The default value is 500.
## The value must be a positive integer.
##
## @qcode{"TolX"} specifies the termination tolerance for the solution @var{x}.
## The default is @code{1e-4}.
##
## For a description of the other options,
## @pxref{XREFoptimset,,@code{optimset}}.
## To initialize an options structure with default values for @code{fminbnd}
## use @code{options = optimset ("fminbnd")}.
##
## On exit, the function returns @var{x}, the approximate minimum point, and
## @var{fval}, the function evaluated @var{x}.
##
## The third output @var{info} reports whether the algorithm succeeded and may
## take one of the following values:
##
## @itemize
## @item 1
## The algorithm converged to a solution.
##
## @item 0
## Iteration limit (either @code{MaxIter} or @code{MaxFunEvals}) exceeded.
##
## @item -1
## The algorithm was terminated by a user @code{OutputFcn}.
## @end itemize
##
## Programming Notes: The search for a minimum is restricted to be in the
## finite interval bound by @var{a} and @var{b}.  If you have only one initial
## point to begin searching from then you will need to use an unconstrained
## minimization algorithm such as @code{fminunc} or @code{fminsearch}.
## @code{fminbnd} internally uses a Golden Section search strategy.
## @seealso{fzero, fminunc, fminsearch, optimset}
