Conjugate gradient method with given beta and line search method

The conjugate gradient method avoids the trouble encountered by the steepest descent method on poorly conditioned problems (e.g. those with a wide range of eigenvalues). It does this by choosing directions which satisfy a condition of A orthogonality, ensuring that steps in the "unstretched" search space are orthogonal.
