I don't believe it is an automatic translation. It is in the comments of the code: /* * Project LevenbergMarquardtLeastSquaresFitting * (more info in lmmin.c) * * File lmmin.h (C) Joachim Wuttke 2004-8 www.messen-und-deuten.de/lmfit * * Public interface to the Levenberg-Marquardt core implementation. */ The code is listed here - http://www.messen-und-deuten.de/lmfit/lmmin.h.html _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
