% usage: [x,fval,exitflag,output]=FMINSEARCHBND(fun,x0,...)
% 
% arguments:
%  fun, x0, options - see the help for FMINSEARCH
%
%  LB - lower bound vector or array, must be the same size as x0
%
%       If no lower bounds exist for one of the variables, then
%       supply -inf for that variable.
%
%       If no lower bounds at all, then LB may be left empty.
%
%       Variables may be fixed in value by setting the corresponding
%       lower and upper bounds to exactly the same value.
%
%  UB - upper bound vector or array, must be the same size as x0
%
%       If no upper bounds exist for one of the variables, then
%       supply +inf for that variable.
%
%       If no upper bounds at all, then UB may be left empty.
%
%       Variables may be fixed in value by setting the corresponding
%       lower and upper bounds to exactly the same value.
%
% Notes:
%
%  If options is supplied, then TolX will apply to the transformed
%  variables. All other FMINSEARCH parameters should be unaffected.
%
%  Variables which are constrained by both a lower and an upper
%  bound will use a sin transformation. Those constrained by
%  only a lower or an upper bound will use a quadratic
%  transformation, and unconstrained variables will be left alone.
%
%  Variables may be fixed by setting their respective bounds equal.
%  In this case, the problem will be reduced in size for FMINSEARCH.
%
%  The bounds are inclusive inequalities, which admit the
%  boundary values themselves, but will not permit ANY function
%  evaluations outside the bounds. These constraints are strictly
%  followed.
%
%  If your problem has an EXCLUSIVE (strict) constraint which will
%  not admit evaluation at the bound itself, then you must provide
%  a slightly offset bound. An example of this is a function which
%  contains the log of one of its parameters. If you constrain the
%  variable to have a lower bound of zero, then FMINSEARCHBND may
%  try to evaluate the function exactly at zero.
%
%
% Example usage:
% rosen = @(x) (1-x(1)).^2 + 105*(x(2)-x(1).^2).^2;
%
% fminsearch(rosen,[3 3])     % unconstrained
% ans =
%    1.0000    1.0000
%
% fminsearchbnd(rosen,[3 3],[2 2],[])     % constrained
% ans =
%    2.0000    4.0000
%
% See test_main.m for other examples of use.
