Hi Pierre, This is indeed an issue with TAO default tolerances.
Specifically it has to do with constraint tolerances. The default value is an exact zero. The problem should still work with line 89 commented out. Our default gradient tolerance is 1e-8. In your case, commenting out line 90 is causing the solver to try to converge constraints to exact zero and it cannot. I will get a patch out for this within the week but in the meantime please ensure that the constraint tolerances are set for any constrained problem. Thank you! — Alp > On Aug 4, 2020, at 12:24 PM, Munson, Todd via petsc-dev > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Pierre, > > I would say the answer to that question is "no, its not expected". > > We will look into fixing it.
