LU Update Tolerance

Type

Floating point number

Range

[1,1e20]

Default

5

This option affects the stability and sparsity of the basis factorization B = LU during updating. Smaller values for this option favor stability, while larger values favor sparsity. The default value usually strikes a good compromise between stability and sparsity.

For large and relatively dense problems, 25.0 (say) may give a marked improvement in sparsity without impairing stability to a serious degree.
