public interface BaseMultivariateSimpleBoundsOptimizer<FUNC extends MultivariateFunction>
    extends BaseMultivariateOptimizer<FUNC> {
    
Optimize an objective function.
Params:
f – Objective function.
goalType – Type of optimization goal: either GoalType.MAXIMIZE or GoalType.MINIMIZE.
startPoint – Start point for optimization.
maxEval – Maximum number of function evaluations.
lowerBound – Lower bound for each of the parameters.
upperBound – Upper bound for each of the parameters.
Throws:
DimensionMismatchException – 
if the array sizes are wrong.
TooManyEvaluationsException – 
if the maximal number of evaluations is exceeded.
NullArgumentException – if f, goalType or startPoint is null.
NumberIsTooSmallException – if any
of the initial values is less than its lower bound.
NumberIsTooLargeException – if any
of the initial values is greater than its upper bound.
Returns:
the point/value pair giving the optimal value for objective
function./**
