    Minimization of scalar function of one or more variables using

Options
    -------
    initial_trust_radius : float
        Initial trust-region radius.
    max_trust_radius : float
        Maximum value of the trust-region radius. No steps that are longer
        than this value will be proposed.
    eta : float
        Trust region related acceptance stringency for proposed steps.

        Gradient norm must be less than `gtol` before successful
        termination.

        Solve the subproblem using a conjugate gradient method.

Parameters
        ----------
        trust_radius : float
            We are allowed to wander only this far away from the origin.

Returns
        -------
        p : ndarray
            The proposed step.
        hits_boundary : bool
            True if the proposed step is on the boundary of the trust region.

Notes
        -----
        This is algorithm (7.2) of Nocedal and Wright 2nd edition.
        Only the function that computes the Hessian-vector product is required.
        The Hessian itself is not required, and the Hessian does
        not need to be positive semidefinite.
