[S,E,G]=golden(f,a,b,delta,epsilon)

function [S,E,G]=golden(f,a,b,delta,epsilon)

%Input    - f is the object function 
%            - a and b are the endpoints of the interval
%            - delta is the tolerance for the abscissas
%            - epsilon is the tolerance for the ordinates
%Output - S=(p,yp) contains the abscissa p and
%              the ordinate yp of the minimum
%            - E=(dp,dy) contains the error bounds for p and yp
%            - G is an n x 4 matrix: the kth row contains [ak ck dk bk];
%              the values of a, c, d, and b at the kth iteration

%If f is defined as an M-file function use the @ notation
% call [S,E,G]=golden(@f,a,b,delta,epsilon).
%If f is defined as an anonymous function use the
% call [S,E,G]=golden(f,a,b,delta,epsilon).
