constraint_penalty

Multiplier for the penalty function

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: REAL

  • Default: 1.0

Description

Most SCOLIB optimizers treat constraints with a simple penalty scheme that adds constraint_penalty times the sum of squares of the constraint violations to the objective function. The default value of constraint_penalty is 1000.0, except for methods that dynamically adapt their constraint penalty, for which the default value is 1.0.
