+ * This interface represents an optimization algorithm for linear problems.
+ * <p>Optimization algorithms find the input point set that either {@link GoalType
+ * maximize or minimize} an objective function. In the linear case the form of
+ * the function is restricted to
+ * <pre>
+ * c<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... c<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> = v
+ * </pre>
+ * and there may be linear constraints too, of one of the forms:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>c<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... c<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> = v</li>
+ * <li>c<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... c<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> &lt;= v</li>
+ * <li>c<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... c<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> >= v</li>
+ * <li>l<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... l<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> + l<sub>cst</sub> =
+ * r<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... r<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> + r<sub>cst</sub></li>
+ * <li>l<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... l<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> + l<sub>cst</sub> &lt;=
+ * r<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... r<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> + r<sub>cst</sub></li>
+ * <li>l<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... l<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> + l<sub>cst</sub> >=
+ * r<sub>1</sub>x<sub>1</sub> + ... r<sub>n</sub>x<sub>n</sub> + r<sub>cst</sub></li>
+ * </ul>
+ * where the c<sub>i</sub>, l<sub>i</sub> or r<sub>i</sub> are the coefficients of
+ * the constraints, the x<sub>i</sub> are the coordinates of the current point and
+ * v is the value of the constraint.
