Allow Solver::Options::max_num_line_search_step_size_iterations = 0.

This change only affects the TRUST_REGION minimizer and has no effect
on the LINE_SEARCH minimizer.

This options controls the number of iterations that the line search
algorithm performs. The line search algorithm is as the name implies,
used in the LINE_SEARCH minimizer. It is also used by the TRUST_REGION
minimizer when solving bounds constrained optimization problems.

In some bounds constrained problems, it is enough to project each step
onto the bounds constraints and not perform the line search. This can
have a significant impact on runtime. Setting
Solver::Options::max_num_line_search_step_size_iterations = 0 enables
this functionality.

Changchang Wu (ccwu@google.com) came up with the idea for this
implementation.

Build Status

Ceres Solver

Ceres Solver is an open source C++ library for modeling and solving large, complicated optimization problems. It is a feature rich, mature and performant library which has been used in production at Google since 2010. Ceres Solver can solve two kinds of problems.

  1. Non-linear Least Squares problems with bounds constraints.
  2. General unconstrained optimization problems.
