This method computes a step size such that the Armijo condition (see [NW06]_, p. 33) is fulfilled. Parameters ---------- f Real-valued function that can be evaluated for its value. starting_point A |VectorArray| of length 1 containing the starting point of the line search. direction Descent direction along which the line search is performed. grad Gradient of `f` in the point `starting_point`. initial_value Value of `f` in the point `starting_point`. alpha_init Initial step size that is gradually reduced. tau The fraction by which the step size is reduced in each iteration. beta Control parameter to adjust the required decrease of the function value of `f`. maxiter Use `alpha_init` as default if the iteration count reaches this value without finding a point fulfilling the Armijo condition. Returns ------- alpha Step size computed according to the Armijo condition.
