CONTINUE_OPTIMIZATION

This command is for the PARROT module.

This command continues the optimization using the same Hessian matrix.

In some cases it is not possible to attempt continuation. For example, if the optimization has already converged or if the optimizing parameters or the set of experimental equilibria used in the current optimization runs are changed. The program gives a warning message if you try to continue when you make these changes.

Syntax	CONTINUE_OPTIMIZATION
Prompts	Are you sure? /N/: <N or Y> Prior to this question, a message displays to confirm if it is OK to continue: It is safe to CONTINUE only after TOO MANY ITERATIONS and no change in variables and experiments ... You can accept the default (N) in order to cancel this special attempt.
	Number of iterations /N/: <Integral number of iteration> Specify an integral number for the optimization iteration. The specified iteration number is shown as the default number. The PARROT program tries this exact number of different sets of values of the optimizing variables without stopping the optimization even it would have converged earlier or should give up earlier.

Number of iterations /N/: <Integral number of iteration>

Specify an integral number for the optimization iteration. The specified iteration number is shown as the default number. The PARROT program tries this exact number of different sets of values of the optimizing variables without stopping the optimization even it would have converged earlier or should give up earlier.
