Dear all,

Indeed, I had a problem on the indexes of the hessian sparce matrix.
Now everything is running smooth! Thanks for the help!!

By the way, I'd like to thank the authors and maintainers of the Ipopt 
project and highlight its importance for the scientific community. 
Congratulations for this great work and for the clarity of mind to share 
it with everyone!

Sincerely,

Bruno Guerreiro
