<p>Thanks Pierre,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I will compute the Hessian and rerun the solver.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regarding the gradient, I do not think there is a mistake as I am using the same gradient function for another solver and it works just fine.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks again for your input. I will try the Hessian and see how the solver performs.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Hi, <br>
At least one thing even if you don't have constraints the Hessian is not empty. You still have to give second derivatives for your objective function.<br>
Then are you sure you are also giving correctly the gradient of the objective? <br>
Good luck, <br>
Pierre</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sorry for the delayed response. I was trying to debug using valgrind. Also apologize for the log detailed mail.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Let me first a give a little background. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I was originally using wnnlp (Will Naylor Non linear solver) to solve my non linear problem. As I wanted to include Mixed integer variables, I am migrating my problem to Bonmin.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To start with I am not including my mixed integer variables and setting up Bonmin to run the nonlinear part like in wnnlp. (I have reused functions from my wnnlp and hence I know that there are no errors in calculating objective and gradients).
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Also, I am first trying to solve an unconstrained optimization problem and eventually include constraints.</p>
<p><br>

<p>As per the above report, the uninitialized value is created by the function eval_grad_f() , but I am using the same function for wnnlp and it works just fine. I tried stepping into the program using gdb but as I am interfacing using *.so files, gdb is not
letting me do it.<br>

<p>Any inputs will definitely help.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am trying to run Bonmin for my application which is an unconstrained MINLP. I am calling Bonmin through a C++ interface.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To invoke Bonmin, I need to define a few virtual functions inm y code. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As my application is an unconstrained MINLP, I will not be defining the constraint variables, constraint functions,function to compute jacobian and the function to compute the hessian of the
<span>Lagrangean ( eval_g, eval_jac_g,eval_h etc. ).</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>By not defining the above function I am initializing the respective vectors, matrices and the variables (number of non zeros in jacobian and hessian ) to NULL but this is causing the solver to fail with a length error.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am a rookie to optimization and any inputs as to what I am missing is much appreciated. I guess I am missing something conceptually as I have double checked syntactical/logical correctness of code.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks a lot in advance.</p>
