Nigel Goodwin commented on MATH-1137:
-------------------------------------

How do I find out what tests have already been done? I'm a bit worried this bit 
of code is never executed in my tests. Has a detailed comparison been done 
between the Fortran and Java on a range of test problems? I know machine 
precision is a problem, but has there been any attempt to compare the paths the 
tests go through? I spent many hours comparing the results at all stages 
between Fortran and java versions of L-BFGS-D, so I know how painful the 
process is.

I am less concerned about the line we have been discussing here, than I am 
about other bugs which we are not discussing and have not yet been found!

You can often have optimisation algorithms which have bugs but still find the 
minimum, albeit inefficiently.
