Detailed Description

RMSD minimizer class.

This class computes the optimal transformation mapping one set of three-dimensional points onto another set of points. It implements the algorithm by Coutsalis et al. (J. Comput. Chem., 25(15), 1849 (2004)), which computes the RMSD-optimal transformation by solving an eigenvalue problem.

{ This code requires GSL (GNU Scientific Library) support to be enabled. If you cannot compile/link code using RMSDMinimizer, please rerun configure and enable GSL support (configure --help for details). }
