Abstract Minimizer class, defining the interface for the various minimizer (like Minuit2, Minuit, GSL, etc..) Plug-in's exist in ROOT to be able to instantiate the derived classes like ROOT::Math::GSLMinimizer or ROOT::Math::Minuit2Minimizer via the plug-in manager.

Provides interface for setting the function to be minimized. The function must implemente the multi-dimensional generic interface ROOT::Math::IBaseFunctionMultiDim. If the function provides gradient calculation (implements the ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDim interface) this will be used by the Minimizer.

It Defines also interface for setting the initial values for the function variables (which are the parameters in of the model function in case of solving for fitting) and especifying their limits.

It defines the interface to set and retrieve basic minimization parameters (for specific Minimizer parameters one must use the derived classes).

Then it defines the interface to retrieve the result of minimization ( minimum X values, function value, gradient, error on the mimnimum, etc...)
