NewtonsMethod:

Path: Math/Analysis

% Solve an optimization problem with Newton's method. 
   Requires the objective value, gradient vector, and hessian matrix to be
   defined with function handles.
   
   Since version 8.

   Form:
   [xopt,nSteps,cpuTime,iterate,objValue] = ...
     NewtonsMethod(f,grad,hess,x,stopData,stepSizeData);

   Inputs
   ------
   f             @(x)   Function handle for cost function
   grad          @(x)   Function handle for gradient of cost function
   hess          @(x)   Function handle for hessian of cost function
   x             (n,1)  Initial state
   stopData      .      Data structure with fields:
                 .fun     Function handle with arguments "f(x), grad(x)"
                          returning true if stop conditions met, else false.
                 .maxIter Maximum number of iterations.
                 .gTol    Gradient norm tolerance. Stop when norm of gradient
                          vector is below this threshold.
   stepSizeData  .rule    Name of the stepsize rule. 3 choices:
                             - Constant  (define s)
                             - Armijo    (define s, sigma, beta)
                 .s       Scalar stepsize.
                 .sigma   Scale factor for Armijo rule
                 .beta    Scale factor for Armijo rule

   nSteps        (1,1)       Number of iteration steps computed
