function [samples, energies, diagn] = hmc(f, x, options, gradf, varargin)
%HMC	Hybrid Monte Carlo sampling.
%
%	Description
%	SAMPLES = HMC(F, X, OPTIONS, GRADF) uses a  hybrid Monte Carlo
%	algorithm to sample from the distribution P ~ EXP(-F), where F is the
%	first argument to HMC. The Markov chain starts at the point X, and
%	the function GRADF is the gradient of the `energy' function F.
%
%	HMC(F, X, OPTIONS, GRADF, P1, P2, ...) allows additional arguments to
%	be passed to F() and GRADF().
%
%	[SAMPLES, ENERGIES, DIAGN] = HMC(F, X, OPTIONS, GRADF) also returns a
%	log of the energy values (i.e. negative log probabilities) for the
%	samples in ENERGIES and DIAGN, a structure containing diagnostic
%	information (position, momentum and acceptance threshold) for each
%	step of the chain in DIAGN.POS, DIAGN.MOM and DIAGN.ACC respectively.
%	All candidate states (including rejected ones) are stored in
%	DIAGN.POS.
%
%	[SAMPLES, ENERGIES, DIAGN] = HMC(F, X, OPTIONS, GRADF) also returns
%	the ENERGIES (i.e. negative log probabilities) corresponding to the
%	samples.  The DIAGN structure contains three fields:
%
%	POS the position vectors of the dynamic process.
%
%	MOM the momentum vectors of the dynamic process.
%
%	ACC the acceptance thresholds.
%
%	S = HMC('STATE') returns a state structure that contains the state of
%	the two random number generators RAND and RANDN and the momentum of
%	the dynamic process.  These are contained in fields  randstate,
%	randnstate and mom respectively.  The momentum state is only used for
%	a persistent momentum update.
%
%	HMC('STATE', S) resets the state to S.  If S is an integer, then it
%	is passed to RAND and RANDN and the momentum variable is randomised.
%	If S is a structure returned by HMC('STATE') then it resets the
%	generator to exactly the same state.
%
%	The optional parameters in the OPTIONS vector have the following
%	interpretations.
%
%	OPTIONS(1) is set to 1 to display the energy values and rejection
%	threshold at each step of the Markov chain. If the value is 2, then
%	the position vectors at each step are also displayed.
%
%	OPTIONS(5) is set to 1 if momentum persistence is used; default 0,
%	for complete replacement of momentum variables.
%
%	OPTIONS(7) defines the trajectory length (i.e. the number of leap-
%	frog steps at each iteration).  Minimum value 1.
%
%	OPTIONS(9) is set to 1 to check the user defined gradient function.
%
%	OPTIONS(14) is the number of samples retained from the Markov chain;
%	default 100.
%
%	OPTIONS(15) is the number of samples omitted from the start of the
%	chain; default 0.
%
%	OPTIONS(17) defines the momentum used when a persistent update of
%	(leap-frog) momentum is used.  This is bounded to the interval [0,
%	1).
%
%	OPTIONS(18) is the step size used in leap-frogs; default 1/trajectory
%	length.
