 * @todo if too few degrees of freedom, solve a slack-minimization problem instead?
 * @todo automatically switch to Hessian approximation if Hessian is dense or slow? (only do so if opttol/solvertol is large?)
 *
 * This file can only be compiled if Ipopt is available.

 * Since the dummy code is C instead of C++, it has been moved into a separate file.

/* Convergence check (see ScipNLP::intermediate_callback)
 *
 * If the fastfail option is set to aggressive, then we stop Ipopt if the reduction in
 * primal infeasibility is not sufficient for a consecutive number of iterations.
 * With the parameters as given below, we require Ipopt to
 * - not increase the primal infeasibility after 5 iterations
 * - reduce the primal infeasibility by at least 50% within 10 iterations
 * - reduce the primal infeasibility by at least 90% within 30 iterations
 * The targets are updated once they are reached and the limit on allowed iterations to reach the new target is reset.
 *
 * In certain situations, it is allowed to exceed an iteration limit:
 * - If we are in the first 10 (convcheck_startiter) iterations.
 * - If we are within 10 (convcheck_startiter) iterations after the restoration phase ended.
 *   The reason for this is that during feasibility restoration phase Ipopt aims completely on
 *   reducing constraint violation, completely forgetting the objective function.
 *   When returning from feasibility restoration and considering the original objective again,
 *   it is unlikely that Ipopt will continue to decrease primal infeasibility, since it may now target on
 *   more on optimality again. Thus, we do not check convergence for a number of iterations.
 * - If the target on dual infeasibility reduction has been achieved, we are below twice the iteration limit, and
 *   we are not in restoration mode.
 *   The reason for this is that if Ipopt makes good progress towards optimality,
 *   we want to allow some more iterations where primal infeasibility is not reduced.
 *   However, in restoration mode, dual infeasibility does not correspond to the original problem and
 *   the complete aim is to restore primal infeasibility.
