I'm curious as to why you would use the methods that require the derivative -
they tend to require that the function be at least continuously differentiable
(i.e. derivative is continuous), and sometimes even twice differentiable.
But in any case, to try to understand what's happening with
gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_m(), could you give us an MWE (minimum working
example) that exhibits this behavior? Then we can jump onto the problem.
