Pulse optimization doesn't seem to be terminating with max_wall_time

[wjhu...@gmail.com]

Hello there,

I'm just starting to play around with QuTiP and I have defined an optimal control problem (loosely following the Hadamard example) that I don't expect QuTiP to be able to solve quickly. In order to get a feel for how the results will look / check my work I set max_iter and max_wall_time very low, expecting to get some poor results but get them quickly. However, the code does not seem to be stopping. Am I correct in assuming that it should terminate in roughly max_wall_time * max_iter seconds no matter what?

Thank you kindly,

Bill

Hi there Bill,

Sorry for the very slow response on this one. 

You should expect the optimising to stop after approx max_wall_time seconds. However, if its mid iteration then it won't stop. That is it only checks for wall_time overrun at the end of the iteration.

If you have not already solved this, then please post your script code.

Alex
