Details - Our Newton offers two stopping criteria:

1. max_i | u_new,i - u_old,i | / | u_i | < tol_r
This is our standard one and we call it "relative criterion" with parameters 
"EnableRelativeCriterion" and "RelTolerance". The term 
max_i | u_new,i - u_old,i | / | u_i |
is indicated as "relative error" in the output.

2. | res(u_new) | / | res(u_init) | < tol_a
We call this one "absolute criterion" with parameters "EnableAbsoluteCriterion" 
and "AbsTolerance". The term 
| res(u_new) | / | res(u_init) |
is indicated as "absolute error" in the output.

This terminology is non-standard and misleading. For example, both quantities 
are not "errors" and both are "relative" in the sense that they are weighted. I 
could not find a standard terminology. We have to improve at least the output 
to avoid confusion and will hopefully find something better for the parameter 
names.
