Detailed Description
     This performs line searches with cubic steps.

     It  is based on the Fortran MCSRCH and MCSTEP routines produced by: Argonne
     National Laboratory. MINPACK Project. June 1983 Jorge J.  More',  David  J.
     Thuente.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
   sc::MCSearch::MCSearch (const Ref< KeyVal > &)
     The  MCSearch  KeyVal  CTOR does not read any input. See the LineOpt KeyVal
     CTOR for parameters that it takes.

Member Function Documentation
   void sc::MCSearch::init (RefSCVector & direction) [virtual]
     Initializes the line search object. Argument is a search direction. Use  of
     this  method  assumes the Optimize base class already has a function object
     (got it from a keyval or elsewhere).

     Reimplemented from sc::LineOpt.

   void sc::MCSearch::init (RefSCVector & direction, Ref< Function  >  function)
     [virtual]
     Initializes  the  line search object. First argument is a search direction,
     second argument is a function object to optimize. Use this  method  when  a
     function must be passed to the Optimize base class.

     Reimplemented from sc::LineOpt.

   int sc::MCSearch::update () [virtual]
     Take a step. Returns 1 if the optimization has converged, otherwise 0.

     Implements sc::Optimize.
