/**
 * <p>Adapter for mapping bounded {@link MultivariateFunction} to unbounded ones.</p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This adapter can be used to wrap functions subject to simple bounds on
 * parameters so they can be used by optimizers that do <em>not</em> directly
 * support simple bounds.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * 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 map
 * the unbounded value to the bounded range using appropriate functions like
 * {@link Sigmoid} for double bounded elements for example.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * As the optimizer sees only unbounded parameters, it should be noted that the
 * start point or simplex expected by the optimizer should be unbounded, so the
 * user is responsible for converting his bounded point to unbounded by calling
 * {@link #boundedToUnbounded(double[])} before providing them to the optimizer.
 * For the same reason, the point returned by the {@link
 * org.apache.commons.math3.optimization.BaseMultivariateOptimizer#optimize(int,
 * MultivariateFunction, org.apache.commons.math3.optimization.GoalType, double[])}
 * method is unbounded. So to convert this point to bounded, users must call
 * {@link #unboundedToBounded(double[])} by themselves!</p>
 * <p>
 * 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 behavior near
 * the bounds may be numerically unstable as bounds are mapped from infinite values.
 * Another caveat is that convergence values are evaluated by the optimizer with respect
 * to unbounded variables, so there will be scales differences when converted to bounded
 * variables.
 * </p>
