# XKTR_PARAM_BAR_MAXCROSSIT, KNITRO_PARAM_BAR_MAXCROSSIT

Description | Specifies the maximum number of crossover iterations before termination.
Type | Integer
Topic areas | Knitro, Limits
Default value | 0
Note | If the value is positive and the algorithm in operation is Interior/Direct or Interior/CG, then Knitro will crossover to the Active Set algorithm near the solution. The Active Set algorithm will then perform at most bar_maxcrossit iterations to get a more exact solution. If the value is 0, no Active Set crossover occurs and the interior-point solution is the final result. If Active Set crossover is unable to improve the approximate interior-point solution, then Knitro will restore the interior-point solution. In some cases (especially on large-scale problems or difficult degenerate problems) the cost of the crossover procedure may be significant - for this reason, crossover is disabled by default. Enabling crossover generally provides a more accurate solution than Interior/Direct or Interior/CG.
