XKTR_PARAM_BAR_MAXBACKTRACK, KNITRO_PARAM_BAR_MAXBACKTRACK

Description
Indicates the maximum allowable number of backtracks during the linesearch of the Interior/Direct algorithm before reverting to a CG step.
Type
Integer
Default value
3
Note
Increasing this value will make the Interior/Direct algorithm less likely to take CG steps. If the Interior/Direct algorithm is taking a large number of CG steps (as indicated by a positive value for 'Gits' in the output), this may improve performance. This option has no effect on the Active Set algorithm.
