   * \param phi [in] The merit function object that will compute the merit
   * function value <tt>phi(alpha)</tt> and/or derivative <tt>Dphi(alpha) at
   * different points <tt>alpha</tt>.  The last call to <tt>phi.eval(...)</tt>
   * will always be at the value of <tt>point_kp1->alpha</tt> returned.
   *
   * \param point_k [in] The evaluation of the merit function and optionally
   * its derivative at <tt>alpha=0.0</tt>.
   *
   * \param point_kp1 [in/out] On input, <tt>point_kp1->alpha</tt> is the
   * initial value to try out (usually 1.0 for most Newton-based algorithms).
   * Also, <tt>point_kp1->phi</tt> must be computed at this value for alpha as
   * well as <tt>point_kp1->Dphi</tt> if required.  On output,
   * <tt>point_kp1->alpha</tt> is the accepted value for a successful line
   * search, or it will be the <tt>alpha</tt> for the minimum
   * <tt>phi(alpha)</tt> found during a failed line search algorithm.
   *
   * <b>Preconditions:</b><ul>
   *
   * <tt>point_k.alpha == 0.0</tt>
   *
   * <tt>point_k.phi != PointEval1D<Scalar>::valNotGiven()</tt>

   * <tt>point_k.Dphi != PointEval1D<Scalar>::valNotGiven()</tt>
   *

   *
   * <li> [<tt>this->requiresDerivEvals()==true</tt>]
   * <tt>point_kp1->Dphi != PointEval1D<Scalar>::valNotGiven()</tt>
   *
   * </ul>
   *
   * \returns <tt>true</tt> for successful line search or <tt>false</tt> for a
   * line search failure.
   *
   * This function computes the approximate minimum to 1D merit function
   * <tt>phi(alpha)</tt>.  More specifically the following problem is
   * approximately solved:

   \verbatim
     min  phi(alpha)  s.t. alpha = [0, alpha_upper]<br>
   \endverbatim

   * For many lineserach algorithms, if the initial <tt>point_kp1->alpha</tt>
   * satisfies the internally defined descent requirement, then it will
   * typically be choosen over smaller values of <tt>point_kp1->alpha</tt>
   * that may result in a greater reduction in the given merit function.
   * Other linesearch implementions will actually seek an approximate
   * minimizer.
   *
   * If the maximum number of iterations is exceeded without finding an
   * acceptable point, then the subclass object will return <tt>false</tt> and
   * will return values of <tt>point_kp1->alpha</tt> and
   * <tt>point_kp1->phi</tt> will be for the lowest value of <tt>phi_kp1 =
   * phi(alpha_k)</tt> found.  In this case, the last call to
   * <tt>phi(alpha_k)</tt> will be this best value of <tt>phi_kp1</tt>.
