Summary
Fixes #922 - This PR adds support for the
dual_ftol_rel
parameter in OptimizationNLopt, which is used by MMA/CCSA algorithms to control the dual optimization subproblem tolerance.Problem
When trying to use the
dual_ftol_rel
parameter with NLopt solvers likeLD_CCSAQ
, users would get an error:This happened because the code was trying to call
NLopt.dual_ftol_rel\!()
which doesn't exist. Thedual_ftol_rel
is not a direct setter function but a named parameter in NLopt.Solution
Added special handling for
dual_ftol_rel
in the__map_optimizer_args\!
function:dual_ftol_rel
NLopt.nlopt_set_param(opt, "dual_ftol_rel", value)
instead of the generic eval approachWhy this matters
From the NLopt documentation:
This parameter is particularly important for users working with high-dimensional optimization problems using MMA or CCSA algorithms.
