/**
* Adapter extending bounded {@link MultivariateFunction} to an unbouded
* domain using a penalty function.
*
*
* This adapter can be used to wrap functions subject to simple bounds on
* parameters so they can be used by optimizers that do not directly
* support simple bounds.
*
*
* The principle is that the user function that will be wrapped will see its
* parameters bounded as required, i.e when its {@code value} method is called
* with argument array {@code point}, the elements array will fulfill requirement
* {@code lower[i] <= point[i] <= upper[i]} for all i. Some of the components
* may be unbounded or bounded only on one side if the corresponding bound is
* set to an infinite value. The optimizer will not manage the user function by
* itself, but it will handle this adapter and it is this adapter that will take
* care the bounds are fulfilled. The adapter {@link #value(double[])} method will
* be called by the optimizer with unbound parameters, and the adapter will check
* if the parameters is within range or not. If it is in range, then the underlying
* user function will be called, and if it is not the value of a penalty function
* will be returned instead.
*
*
* This adapter is only a poor man solution to simple bounds optimization constraints
* that can be used with simple optimizers like {@link SimplexOptimizer} with {@link
* NelderMeadSimplex} or {@link MultiDirectionalSimplex}. A better solution is to use
* an optimizer that directly supports simple bounds like {@link CMAESOptimizer} or
* {@link BOBYQAOptimizer}. One caveat of this poor man solution is that if start point
* or start simplex is completely outside of the allowed range, only the penalty function
* is used, and the optimizer may converge without ever entering the range.
*
*

* @deprecated As of 3.1 (to be removed in 4.0).

* When the optimizer provided points are out of range, the value of the
* penalty function will be used instead of the value of the underlying
* function. In order for this penalty to be effective in rejecting this
* point during the optimization process, the penalty function value should
* be defined with care. This value is computed as:
*
* penalty(point) = offset + ∑i[scale[i] * √|point[i]-boundary[i]|]
*
* where indices i correspond to all the components that violates their boundaries.
*
*
* So when attempting a function minimization, offset should be larger than
* the maximum expected value of the underlying function and scale components
* should all be positive. When attempting a function maximization, offset
* should be lesser than the minimum expected value of the underlying function
* and scale components should all be negative.
* minimization, and lesser than the minimum expected value of the underlying
* function when attempting maximization.
*
*
* These choices for the penalty function have two properties. First, all out
* of range points will return a function value that is worse than the value
* returned by any in range point. Second, the penalty is worse for large
* boundaries violation than for small violations, so the optimizer has an hint
* about the direction in which it should search for acceptable points.
