1.
The matrices are scaled to
be on the order of 1.
2.
A bracketing version of
. This must be found nearly
exactly since at the beginning of the minimization it is not unusual to have
. In the event that
the bracketing is all on one side Aitkin's extrapolation is used to speed the
convergence.

On every third unsuccessful minimization the Si's are recalculated.
