oyden Rank Reduction Inverse" algorithm described in [1]_. Note that the SVD decomposition can be done by solving only a problem whose size is the effective rank of this matrix, which is viable even for large problems. Parameters ---------- max_rank : int Maximum rank of this matrix after reduction. to_retain : int, optional Number of SVD components to retain when reduction is done (ie. rank > max_rank). Default is ``max_rank - 2``. References ---------- .. [1] B.A. van der Rotten, PhD thesis, "A limited memory Broyden method to solve high-dimensional systems of nonlinear equations".
