constraint_tolerance
Maximum allowable constraint violation still considered feasible
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: REAL
Default: Library default
Description
Sets the maximum allowable value of infeasibility that any constraint in an optimization problem may possess and still be considered to be satisfied.
If a constraint’s violation is greater than this value then it is considered to be violated by the optimization algorithm. This specification gives some control over how tightly the constraints will be satisfied at convergence of the algorithm. However, if the value is set too small the algorithm may terminate with one or more constraints being violated.
Dakota’s constraint_tolerance settings maps to NPSOL’s feasbility
tolerance which is an absolute tolerance on the constraints.
