max_step

Max change in design point

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: REAL

  • Default: 1000.

Description

The max_step control specifies the maximum step that can be taken when computing a change in the current design point (e.g., limiting the Newton step computed from current gradient and Hessian information). It is equivalent to a move limit or a maximum trust region size. The gradient_tolerance control defines the threshold value on the L2 norm of the objective function gradient that indicates convergence to an unconstrained minimum (no active constraints). The gradient_tolerance control is defined for all gradient-based optimizers.
