[Ipopt] About Ipopt Termination Thresholds

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Zheng Liu,

It seems you are using the Fortran version of Ipopt (IMAXITER).  There has 
been a new C++ version of Ipopt several year, please consult the Ipopt 
website.  That one has also additional stopping criteria.  However, Ipopt 
will only return one solution, not a bunch of solutions that meet some 
criterion.  But if you wanted to, you could use the intermediate callback 
method of the C++ version to monitor optimization progress on your own and 
wrote out any intermediate iterations as you like.  By the way, I believe 
for the C++ version of the CUTEr script is called "sdipo".

Regards,

Andreas
