     * Performs a damped Newton step to solve the system of nonlinear equations.
     *
     * On entry, `step0` must contain an undamped Newton step for the solution `x0`.
     * This method attempts to find a damping coefficient `alpha_k` such that the next
     * undamped step would have a norm smaller than that of `step0`. If successful,
     * the new solution after taking the damped step is returned in `x1`, and the
     * undamped step at `x1` is returned in `step1`.
     *
     * This uses the method outlined in Kee et al. @cite kee2003.
     *
     * The system of equations can be written in the form:
     * @f[
     *   F(x) = 0
     * @f]
     *
     * Where @f$ F @f$ is the system of nonlinear equations and @f$ x @f$ is the
     * solution vector.
     *
     * For the damped Newton method we are solving:
     *
     * @f[
     *   x_{k+1} - x_k = \Delta x_k = -\alpha_k J^{-1}(x_k) F(x_k)
     * @f]
     *
     * Where @f$ J @f$ is the Jacobian matrix of @f$ F @f$ with respect to @f$ x @f$,
     * and @f$ \alpha_k @f$ is the damping factor, and @f$ \Delta x_k @f$ is the Newton
     * step at @f$ x_k @f$, sometimes called the correction vector. In the equations
     * here, @f$ k @f$ is just an iteration variable.
     *
     * In this method, the Jacobian does not update, even when the solution vector is
     * evaluated at different points.
     *
     * The general algorithm is described below.
     *
     * We want to solve the equation:
     * @f[
     *   x_{k+1} = x_k + \alpha_k \Delta x_k
     * @f]
     *
     * Pick @f$ \alpha_k @f$ such that
     * @f$ \Vert \Delta x_{k+1} \Vert < \Vert \Delta x_k \Vert @f$
     * where @f$ \Delta x_k = J^{-1}(x_k) F(x_k) @f$, and
     * @f$ \Delta x_{k+1} = J^{-1}(x_{k}) F(x_{k+1}) @f$.
     *
     * @param[in] x0  initial solution about which a Newton step will be taken
     * @param[in] step0  initial undamped Newton step
     * @param[out] x1  solution after taking the damped Newton step
     * @param[out] step1  Newton step after taking the damped Newton step
     * @param[out] s1  norm of the subsequent Newton step after taking the damped Newton
     *     step
     * @param[in] r  domain object, used for evaluating residuals over all domains
     * @param[in] loglevel  controls amount of printed diagnostics
     * @param[in] writetitle  controls if logging title is printed

     * @returns
     *   - `1` a damping coefficient was found and the solution converges.
