// LowRankInverseHessian is a positive definite approximation to the
// Hessian using the limited memory variant of the
// Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS)secant formula for
// approximating the Hessian.
//
// Other update rules like the Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) are
// possible, but the BFGS rule is considered the best performing one.
//
// The limited memory variant was developed by Nocedal and further
// enhanced with scaling rule by Byrd, Nocedal and Schanbel.
