> The custom convergence checkers let users override the ad-hoc convergence criteria that most optimization algorithms provide.
> CM defines "simple" checkers that inherit from "AbstractConvergenceChecker" and use the default values provided in that class. However good values for the tolerances are problem-dependent.
> User control cannot come without the user paying attention to those values, or "strange" failures can happen (cf. issue MATH-798).
> It is thus proposed to remove the default values defined in "AbstractConvergenceChecker", and also to remove the default (no-arg) constructor for all the convergence checkers defined in CM, i.e.:
> * AbstractConvergenceChecker
> * SimpleValueChecker
> * SimpleUnivariateValueChecker
> * SimplePointChecker
> * SimpleVectorValueChecker
> In turn, this implies the removal of some of the constructors (which call the above constructors) in the following classes:
> * SimplexOptimizer
> * BaseAbstractMultivariateOptimizer
> * BaseAbstractMultivariateVectorOptimizer
> * CMAESOptimizer
> * BaseAbstractMultivariateSimpleBoundsOptimizer
> * AbstractScalarDifferentiableOptimizer
> * GaussNewtonOptimizer
> * AbstractLeastSquaresOptimizer
> * NonLinearConjugateGradientOptimizer
> * LevenbergMarquardtOptimizer
> To maintain backwards-compatibility, the fields and constructors will be deprecated but not removed until the preparation of release 4.0.
