Gradient based optimizers are algorithms that use the gradient of a funciton
to iteratively find locally extreme points of functions over a set of parameters.
This sections provides a description of a set of gradient optimizers. The
optimizers are written with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">differentiation</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">reverse_mode</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">rvar</span></code>
in mind, however if a way to evaluate the funciton and its gradient is provided,
the optimizers should work in exactly the same way.
