Hi,<div>I am not sure if this what you want but you could set a cutoff value to 0.01 (that way Bonmin only looks for solutions better than 0.01 as I understand you don't care about the others) and then stop at the first solution found.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To do that you would need to set the options:</div><div><br></div><div>bonmin.cutoff 0.01<br>bonmin.solution_limit 1</div><div><br></div><div>in a bonmin.opt file.</div><div>Hope this helps.</div><div>

Is there an option in Bonmin to stop searching if the objective is close enough to a known solution?<br>
<br>
I am minimizing a sum of squares thing, so (1) I know that zero is the optimum value for the objective, and (2) I would be happy if this sum-of-squares got below 0.01.<br>
<br>
I am using NEOS and AMPL, if that matters.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
