function [xk,niter,residuals,outputData,opts] =NESTA(A,At,b,muf,delta,opts)
% [xk,niter,residuals,outputData] =NESTA(A,At,b,muf,delta,opts)
%
% Solves a L1 minimization problem under a quadratic constraint using the
% Nesterov algorithm, with continuation:
%
%     min_x || U x ||_1 s.t. ||y - Ax||_2 <= delta
% 
% Continuation is performed by sequentially applying Nesterov's algorithm
% with a decreasing sequence of values of  mu0 >= mu >= muf
%
% The primal prox-function is also adapted by accounting for a first guess
% xplug that also tends towards x_muf 
%
% The observation matrix A is a projector
%
% Inputs:   A and At - measurement matrix and adjoint (either a matrix, in which
%               case At is unused, or function handles).  m x n dimensions.
%           b   - Observed data, a m x 1 array
%           muf - The desired value of mu at the last continuation step.
%               A smaller mu leads to higher accuracy.
%           delta - l2 error bound.  This enforces how close the variable
%               must fit the observations b, i.e. || y - Ax ||_2 <= delta
%               If delta = 0, enforces y = Ax
%               Common heuristic: delta = sqrt(m + 2*sqrt(2*m))*sigma;
%               where sigma=std(noise).
%           opts -
%               This is a structure that contains additional options,
%               some of which are optional.
%               The fieldnames are case insensitive.  Below
%               are the possible fieldnames:
%               
%               opts.xplug - the first guess for the primal prox-function, and
%                 also the initial point for xk.  By default, xplug = At(b)
%               opts.U and opts.Ut - Analysis/Synthesis operators
%                 (either matrices of function handles).
%               opts.normU - if opts.U is provided, this should be norm(U)
%                   otherwise it will have to be calculated (potentially
%                   expensive)
%               opts.MaxIntIter - number of continuation steps.
%                 default is 5
%               opts.maxiter - max number of iterations in an inner loop.
%                 default is 10,000
%               opts.TolVar - tolerance for the stopping criteria
%               opts.stopTest - which stopping criteria to apply
%                   opts.stopTest == 1 : stop when the relative
%                       change in the objective function is less than
%                       TolVar
%                   opts.stopTest == 2 : stop with the l_infinity norm
%                       of difference in the xk variable is less
%                       than TolVar
%               opts.TypeMin - if this is 'L1' (default), then
%                   minimizes a smoothed version of the l_1 norm.
%                   If this is 'tv', then minimizes a smoothed
%                   version of the total-variation norm.
%                   The string is case insensitive.
%               opts.Verbose - if this is 0 or false, then very
%                   little output is displayed.  If this is 1 or true,
%                   then output every iteration is displayed.
%                   If this is a number p greater than 1, then
%                   output is displayed every pth iteration.
%               opts.fid - if this is 1 (default), the display is
%                   the usual Matlab screen.  If this is the file-id
%                   of a file opened with fopen, then the display
%                   will be redirected to this file.
%               opts.errFcn - if this is a function handle,
%                   then the program will evaluate opts.errFcn(xk)
%                   at every iteration and display the result.
%                   ex.  opts.errFcn = @(x) norm( x - x_true )
%               opts.outFcn - if this is a function handle, 
%                   then then program will evaluate opts.outFcn(xk)
%                   at every iteration and save the results in outputData.
%                   If the result is a vector (as opposed to a scalar),
%                   it should be a row vector and not a column vector.
%                   ex. opts.outFcn = @(x) [norm( x - xtrue, 'inf' ),...
%                                           norm( x - xtrue) / norm(xtrue)]
%               opts.AAtinv - this is an experimental new option.  AAtinv
%                   is the inverse of AA^*.  This allows the use of a 
%                   matrix A which is not a projection, but only
%                   for the noiseless (i.e. delta = 0) case.
%               opts.USV - another experimental option.  This supercedes
%                   the AAtinv option, so it is recommended that you
%                   do not define AAtinv.  This allows the use of a matrix
%                   A which is not a projection, and works for the
%                   noisy ( i.e. delta > 0 ) case.
%                   opts.USV should contain three fields: 
%                   opts.USV.U  is the U from [U,S,V] = svd(A)
%                   likewise, opts.USV.S and opts.USV.V are S and V
%                   from svd(A).  S may be a matrix or a vector.
%
%  Outputs:
%           xk  - estimate of the solution x
%           niter - number of iterations
%           residuals - first column is the residual at every step,
%               second column is the value of f_mu at every step
%           outputData - a matrix, where each row r is the output
%               from opts.outFcn, if supplied.
%           opts - the structure containing the options that were used
