[Ipopt] Line Search

[Andrey Romanenko]

Hi!


We use CVODES and Iptopt in a multiple shooting setup.

If you use forward sensitivities then what you can do is integrate the system 
only when you are in eval_f and eval_g (caching things as you do) and carry 
out both integration and sensitivity analysis when you are in grad_f and 
jac_g and hess. 

If you use adjoing sensitivity analysis and new_x == false in jac_g and 
grad_f, then just do the adjoint backward swing to get the sensitivities. In 
such setup you should use separate CVODES memory areas for each shooting 
interval so that the checkpointing works correctly.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Andrey Romanenko
