Detailed Description

Generate and return .true. if and only if a convex quadratic curve can fit the specified input triple [xmin, xlow, xupp] and the function value at the middle point xmin is smaller than both boundary point function values.

This function is useful for testing whether the initial bracket intervals to various optimization routines enclose the desired function extremum.

Specifically, this generic interface computed and returns the following criterion: bracketed = xlow <= xmin .and. xmin <= xupp .and. flow >= fmin .or. fmin <= fupp

Parameters

[in]	xmin	: The input scalar of type real of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., RK, RK32, RK64, or RK128), containing the abscissa corresponding to the minimum function value among the triplet [xmin, xlow, xupp].
[in]	xlow	: The input scalar of the same type and kind as the input argument xmin, containing the lower bound of the interval specified by the triplet.
[in]	xupp	: The input scalar of the same type and kind as the input argument xmin, containing the upper bound of the interval specified by the triplet.
[in]	fmin	: The input scalar of the same type and kind as the input argument xmin, containing the target function value at xmin.
[in]	flow	: The input scalar of the same type and kind as the input argument xmin, containing the target function value at xlow.
[in]	fupp	: The input scalar of the same type and kind as the input argument xmin, containing the target function value at xupp.
