<p>This function returns a pointer to a newly allocated instance of a
minimizer of type <var>T</var>. For example, the following code
creates an instance of a golden section minimizer,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">const gsl_min_fminimizer_type * T
= gsl_min_fminimizer_goldensection;
gsl_min_fminimizer * s
= gsl_min_fminimizer_alloc (T);
</pre></div>
<p>If there is insufficient memory to create the minimizer then the function
returns a null pointer and the error handler is invoked with an error
code of <code>GSL_ENOMEM</code>.

<dd><p>This function sets, or resets, an existing minimizer <var>s</var> to use the
function <var>f</var> and the initial search interval [<var>x_lower</var>,
<var>x_upper</var>], with a guess for the location of the minimum
<var>x_minimum</var>.
</p>
<p>If the interval given does not contain a minimum, then the function
returns an error code of <code>GSL_EINVAL</code>.

<dd><p>This function is equivalent to <code>gsl_min_fminimizer_set</code> but uses
the values <var>f_minimum</var>, <var>f_lower</var> and <var>f_upper</var> instead of
computing <code>f(x_minimum)</code>, <code>f(x_lower)</code> and <code>f(x_upper)</code>.

<dd><p>This function returns a pointer to the name of the minimizer. For example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">printf ("s is a '%s' minimizer\n",
gsl_min_fminimizer_name (s));
</pre></div>
<p>would print something like <code>s is a 'brent' minimizer</code>.
