/*
     The subroutine mcstep is taken from the work of Jorge Nocedal.
     this is a variant of More' and Thuente's routine.

     subroutine mcstep

     the purpose of mcstep is to compute a safeguarded step for
     a linesearch and to update an interval of uncertainty for
     a minimizer of the function.

     the parameter stx contains the step with the least function
     value. the parameter stp contains the current step. it is
     assumed that the derivative at stx is negative in the
     direction of the step. if bracket is set true then a
     minimizer has been bracketed in an interval of uncertainty
     with endpoints stx and sty.

     the subroutine statement is

     subroutine mcstep(stx,fx,dx,sty,fy,dy,stp,fp,dp,bracket,
                       stpmin,stpmax,info)

     where

       stx, fx, and dx are variables which specify the step,
         the function, and the derivative at the best step obtained
         so far. The derivative must be negative in the direction
         of the step, that is, dx and stp-stx must have opposite
         signs. On output these parameters are updated appropriately.

       sty, fy, and dy are variables which specify the step,
         the function, and the derivative at the other endpoint of
         the interval of uncertainty. On output these parameters are
         updated appropriately.

       stp, fp, and dp are variables which specify the step,
         the function, and the derivative at the current step.
         If bracket is set true then on input stp must be
         between stx and sty. On output stp is set to the new step.

       bracket is a logical variable which specifies if a minimizer
         has been bracketed.  If the minimizer has not been bracketed
         then on input bracket must be set false.  If the minimizer
         is bracketed then on output bracket is set true.

       stpmin and stpmax are input variables which specify lower
         and upper bounds for the step.

       info is an integer output variable set as follows:
         if info = 1,2,3,4,5, then the step has been computed
         according to one of the five cases below. otherwise
         info = 0, and this indicates improper input parameters.
