hello there,

I have used Ipopt with JuMP to solve an NLP problem and I got locally solved as a termination status…I tried changing the starting point but the results never changed

What can I do to get an Optimal Solution  
What should I look for now?

thanks

Ipopt is a local solver. It cannot guarantee global optimality, so it will only ever report `LOCALLY_SOLVED`.

What solver do you recommend me to get a global optimum solution @odow
