GALAHAD1.0.0 package

Geometry-Adaptive Lyapunov-Assured Hybrid Optimizer

Implements the GALAHAD algorithm (Geometry-Adaptive 'Lyapunov'-Assured Hybrid Optimizer), combining 'Riemannian' metrics, 'Lyapunov' stability checks, and trust-region methods for stable optimization of mixed-geometry parameters. Designed for biological modeling (germination, dose-response, survival) where rates, concentrations, and unconstrained variables coexist. Developed at the Minnesota Center for Prion Research and Outreach (MNPRO), University of Minnesota. Based on Conn et al.
