5 An overview of auto-folder development

The ideal solution to the problem of minimizing functions defined over noisy data is to use methods based on integral techniques, and we have chosen a method based on the Fourier decomposition of rotation curves. Because of the necessarily detailed nature of the following auto-folder development, it is useful to begin with a section-by-section overview of the process:
