subject to the following constraints:
- sum(alpha) == C (i.e. the sum of alpha values doesn't change)

- This function uses a simple implementation of the sequential minimal
optimization algorithm. It starts the algorithm with the given alpha
and it works on the problem until the duality gap (i.e. how far away
we are from the optimum solution) is less than eps. So eps controls
how accurate the solution is and smaller values result in better solutions.
- At most max_iter iterations of optimization will be performed.
- returns the number of iterations performed. If this method fails to
converge to eps accuracy then the number returned will be max_iter+1.

ensures
- This function solves the same QP as solve_qp_box_constrained(), except it is
optimized for the case where the Q matrix has a certain sparsity structure.
To be precise:
- Let Q1 be a block diagonal matrix with the elements of Q_blocks placed
along its diagonal, and in the order contained in Q_blocks.
- Let Q2 be a matrix with the same size as Q1, except instead of being block diagonal, it
is block structured into Q_blocks.nr() by Q_blocks.nc() blocks. If we let (r,c) be the
coordinate of each block then each block contains the matrix
diagm(Q_offdiag[make_unordered_pair(r,c)]) or the zero matrix if Q_offdiag has no entry
for the coordinate (r,c).
- Let Q == Q1+Q2
- Let b == the concatenation of all the vectors in bs into one big vector.
- Let alpha == the concatenation of all the vectors in alphas into one big vector.
- Let lower == the concatenation of all the vectors in lowers into one big vector.
- Let upper == the concatenation of all the vectors in uppers into one big vector.
- Then this function solves the following quadratic program:
Minimize: f(alpha) == 0.5*trans(alpha)*Q*alpha + trans(b)*alpha
subject to the following box constraints on alpha:
- 0 <= min(alpha-lower)
- 0 <= max(upper-alpha)
Where f is convex. This means that Q should be positive-semidefinite.
- More specifically, this function is identical to
solve_qp_box_constrained(Q, b, alpha, lower, upper, eps, max_iter),
except that it runs faster since it avoids unnecessary computation by
taking advantage of the sparsity structure in the QP.
- The solution to the above QP will be stored in #alphas.
- This function uses a combination of a SMO algorithm along with Nesterov's
method as the main iteration of the solver. It starts the algorithm with the
given alpha and it works on the problem until the derivative of f(alpha) is
smaller than eps for each element of alpha or the alpha value is at a box
constraint. So eps controls how accurate the solution is and smaller values
result in better solutions.
- At most max_iter iterations of optimization will be performed.
- returns the number of iterations performed. If this method fails to

- If you think of A and B as sets of column vectors, then we can identify the
convex sets hullA and hullB, which are the convex hulls of A and B

are nearest to each other. To be precise, this function solves the following
quadratic program:

- sum(cA) == 1 && min(cA) >= 0

the QP. It runs until either max_iter iterations have been performed or the
QP is solved to at least eps accuracy.
