\textbf{Introduction}  In this vignette we demonstrate how to use the \textbf{lbfgs} R package. \footnote{We are extremely thankful for the advice and support of Dustin Tingley.} The original motivation for writing the package was the lack of a general R implementation of the Orthant-Wise Quasi-Newton Limited-Memory (OWL-QN) optimization algorithm, algorithm \cite{Andrew_Gao_2007},  except in limited-scope contexts. Trying out the math:  \[  r(x) = C \cdot \lvert \lvert x\lvert \lvert _1 = C \cdot \sum_i \lvert x_i \lvert  \]
