Implements the Complex Method of Constrained Optimization, as proposed by Box (1965), improved by Guin (1968) and Krus (1992), and following the method in Andresson (2001). This is capable of optimizing a "black-box" system with few constraints on the optimization function and requiring no knowledge of its derivatives.

Includes an example, demonstrating training of an artificial neural network.
