<br>
I am sorry for all these messages.<br>
<br>
Still solving a MINLP with B-BB. My problem now is why both<br>
<br>
bonmin.time_limit 1<br>
bonmin.iteration_limit 10<br>
<br>
<br>
seem not to work even if put together?. For the Time limit I am not<br>
sure if we are talking about<br>
cputime or whatever but when I stopped (ctrl-c) the computation all<br>
values where above my limit<br>
(see below). I have read the documentation and it seems that just one<br>
of the two limits should<br>
have worked. I also added the &quot;\n&quot; character at the and of the last<br>
line and the prefix &quot;bonmin.&quot;.<br>
Can someone, please, suggest me a way to stop the computation?<br>
<br>
Many many thanks<br>
