#' Multi-level Single-linkage
#'
#' The ``Multi-Level Single-Linkage'' (MLSL) algorithm for global optimization
#' searches by a sequence of local optimizations from random starting points.
#' A modification of MLSL is included using a low-discrepancy sequence (LDS)
#' instead of pseudorandom numbers.
#'
#' MLSL is a `multistart' algorithm: it works by doing a sequence of local
#' optimizations (using some other local optimization algorithm) from random or
#' low-discrepancy starting points. MLSL is distinguished, however by a
#' `clustering' heuristic that helps it to avoid repeated searches of the same
#' local optima, and has some theoretical guarantees of finding all local
#' optima in a finite number of local minimizations.
#'
#' The local-search portion of MLSL can use any of the other algorithms in
#' NLopt, and in particular can use either gradient-based or derivative-free
#' algorithms. For this wrapper only gradient-based \code{L-BFGS} is available
#' as local method.
#'
#' @param x0 initial point for searching the optimum.
#' @param fn objective function that is to be minimized.
#' @param gr gradient of function \code{fn}; will be calculated numerically if
#' not specified.
#' @param lower,upper lower and upper bound constraints.
#' @param local.method only \code{BFGS} for the moment.
#' @param low.discrepancy logical; shall a low discrepancy variation be used.
#' @param nl.info logical; shall the original NLopt info been shown.
#' @param control list of options, see \code{nl.opts} for help.
#' @param ... additional arguments passed to the function.
#'
#' @return List with components:
#' \item{par}{the optimal solution found so far.}
#' \item{value}{the function value corresponding to \code{par}.}
#' \item{iter}{number of (outer) iterations, see \code{maxeval}.}
#' \item{convergence}{integer code indicating successful completion (> 0)
#' or a possible error number (< 0).}
#' \item{message}{character string produced by NLopt and giving additional
#' information.}

#' @note If you don't set a stopping tolerance for your local-optimization
#' algorithm, MLSL defaults to \code{ftol_rel=1e-15} and \code{xtol_rel=1e-7}
#' for the local searches.
