pele.optimize.steepest_descent(x0, pot, iprint=-1, dx=0.0001, nsteps=100000, tol=0.001, maxstep=-1.0, events=None)[source]

steepest descent minimization

Notes

this should never be used except for testing purposes. It is a bad implementation of a terrible minimization routine. It will be very slow.
