Gilles created MATH-911:
---------------------------

             Summary: Remove usage of "DerivativeStructure" in the 
"optimization" package
                 Key: MATH-911
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-911
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Gilles
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.1


The "DerivativeStructure" class is not the proper interface towards user 
applications that deal with optimization problems.

Recent changes implies copying between e.g. the user's representation of a 
Jacobian and the "DerviativeStructure" representation of the same data. And, 
actually, the current implementation of "AbstractLeastSquaresOptimizer" copies 
back the "DerviativeStructure" representation into a "double[][]" for internal 
use.

[~kberlin] pointed out the potential storage inefficiencies in large-scale 
problems.
