## [x,v,nev,h,args] = d2_min(f,d2f,args,ctl,code) - Newton-like minimization
##
## Minimize f(x) using 1st and 2nd derivatives. Any function w/ second
## derivatives can be minimized, as in Newton. f(x) decreases at each
## iteration, as in Levenberg-Marquardt. This function is inspired from the
## Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm found in the book "Numerical Recipes".
##
## ARGUMENTS :
## f    : string : Cost function's name
##
## d2f  : string : Name of function returning the cost (1x1), its
##                 differential (1xN) and its second differential or it's
##                 pseudo-inverse (NxN) (see ctl(5) below) :
##
##                 [v,dv,d2v] = d2f (x).
##
## args : list   : f and d2f's arguments. By default, minimize the 1st
##     or matrix : argument.
##
## ctl  : vector : Control arguments (see below)
##      or struct
##
## code : string : code will be evaluated after each outer loop that
##                 produced some (any) improvement. Variables visible from
##                 "code" include "x", the best parameter found, "v" the
##                 best value and "args", the list of all arguments. All can
##                 be modified. This option can be used to re-parameterize 
##                 the argument space during optimization
##
## CONTROL VARIABLE ctl : (optional). May be a struct or a vector of length
## ---------------------- 5 or less where NaNs are ignored. Default values
##                        are written <value>.
