XKTR_PARAM_BAR_PENCONS

Indicates whether a penalty approach is applied to the constraints.

Integer

0	(auto) Let Knitro automatically choose the strategy.
1	(none) No constraints are penalized.
2	(all) A penalty approach is applied to all general constraints.

0

Using a penalty approach may be helpful when the problem has degenerate or difficult constraints. It may also help to more quickly identify infeasible problems, or achieve feasibility in problems with difficult constraints. This option has no effect on the Active Set algorithm.
