<P class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>I’m new with Ipopt and I’m trying to find
good termination criteria for my optimization problem. In some cases the problem
got solved with success. In other cases solving the problem exceeds maximum
CPU-time, but the results seem to be adequate. In these cases I tried to
introduce the “acceptable tolerance” options. When I set the acceptable
tolerances to values which get fulfilled in the optimization-run without
acceptable tolerance options, the solver does not stop with the considered
“Solved to acceptable level” statement. Instead of that it exceeds again the
time-limit and ends with much worse results.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-US>Is it possible that the acceptable tolerance
options have an influence to the result of the
optimization?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
