Question: Optimal values for testfunctions

[gillhofer]

Is there a way to get the optimal values for the testfunctions? Also is there a way to get the parameters where the optimal value is attained?

Great question, most of the SIF files in the $MASTSIF directory have a comment inside them along the lines of:

*   Solution

*LO SOLTN               0.0

(so in this case 0 is the solution). Unfortunately there isn't a way to get this programmatically at the moment but I suggest you open an issue with sifdecode and suggest this. The minimiser where the optimal solution is attained is unfortunately not stored anywhere.
