[Help-gsl] simplex algorithm for multimin: gsl_multimin_fminimizer_size returns nan

Hello, Just to let you know, I have added an implementation of the Fletcher BFGS algorithm to the GSL CVS repository at http://sourceware.org/gsl/devel.html - it gets the number of function and gradient evaluations on the test problem down to (60,44) compared with (56,50) in his book. Thanks for
