The rows and columns of the Hessian matrix can be scaled when you use the trust region, Newton-Raphson, and double-dogleg optimization techniques. Each element , is divided by the scaling factor , where the scaling vector is iteratively updated in a way specified by the HESCAL= i option, as follows:
In the preceding equations, is the relative machine precision or, equivalently, the largest double-precision value that, when added to 1, results in 1.
