# Minimization styles

Classes that perform energy minimization derived from the Min class. New
styles can be created to add new minimization algorithms to LAMMPS.

Min_cg.cpp is an example of conjugate gradient minimization.

Here is a brief description of methods you define in your new derived
class. See min.h for details.

  --------------- ------------------------------------------
  init            initialize the minimization before a run

  run             perform the minimization

  memory_usage    tally of memory usage
