Specific Domains Optimization (Mathematical)

Hi, I am using Nlopt for a gradient based optimization. It stopes after 4 iterations and returns forced stop and the output is not converged. Could you please tell me how can I find the problem which makes optimizer to forced stop?

Can you share a reproducible example?

You should also try updating to the most recent version of NLopt, we made some improvements in how errors are reported.

Try wrapping the optimized function in try ... catch to see the error message that NLOpt swallowed:

function fmin(x)	
	dev = try
		_fmin(x);
	catch e
    	bt = catch_backtrace()
    	showerror(stdout, e, bt)
    	rethrow(e)
	end

	return dev
end
