opt_error.rs

1//! Optimal-error convergence check — port of
2//! `Algorithm/IpOptErrorConvCheck.{hpp,cpp}`.
3//!
4//! Tolerance state machine over `(nlp_err, iter_count)` plus
5//! per-component infeasibilities pulled directly from
6//! [`IpoptCalculatedQuantities`]. The scalar
7//! [`Self::check_convergence`] entry point only gates on
8//! `nlp_err <= tol` (matching upstream when the per-component
9//! tolerances are at their `+∞` sentinels); the state-aware
10//! [`Self::check_convergence_with_state`] adds the
11//! `dual_inf_tol` / `constr_viol_tol` / `compl_inf_tol` gates that
12//! mirror upstream `OptimalityErrorConvergenceCheck::CheckConvergence`.
