Expand description

The multiple of a relaxed point’s first-order slack value (relaxation_slack) that same_answer_allowance grants. Σ λ_k·p_k is the objective the products’ slack buys to first order; where a pair is biactive the objective moves as sqrt(τ), not τ, and the first-order estimate is then half the true gap (MacMPEC scholtes4: the τ = 1e-8 point sits at -2e-4 = -2·sqrt(τ) against the exact f* = 0, with λ = 1/sqrt(τ), so λ·τ = 1e-4). Ten leaves a margin of five over that.
