## Detailed Description

**Author:**

Ryan Curtin

An implementation of Maximum Variance Unfolding. This file defines an MVU class as well as a class representing the objective function (a semidefinite program) which MVU seeks to minimize. Minimization is performed by the Augmented Lagrangian optimizer (which in turn uses the L-BFGS optimizer).

Note: this implementation of MVU does not work. See #189.
