[Ipopt] Restoration Failed

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Bruno,

>From the output, there seems to be something wrong with your function 
evalution code, as Stefan has suggested.  Furthermore, you are starting 
with an almost optimal point it seems (primal and dual infeasibilities are 
very small), and yet Ipopt cannot compute a search direction in the first 
iteration - MA27 keeps saying that the KKT matrix is rank-deficient, even 
though it does perturbations of the KKT matrix that usually make that go 
away.

But the most telling thing is that your error is not deterministic.  This 
probably means that there is a memory error (such as accessing 
uninitialized memory).  I suggest you run your program with a memory 
checker, such as valgrind (free memory checker on Linux).

Regards,

Andreas
