I don't' have a problem with DerivativeStructure class and the differentiation framework. I am sure it would be nice for some tasks. I just think it should be separate from the optimization interface, instead of being *required* or even provided as an alternative interface (which creates a mess). If the user desires it, they can use a wrapper that we could provide for them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
