What tolerance should I use for scipy.optimize.minimize? #72

AhmedCode99 commented 10 months ago

Is there a good way of knowing how much tolerance I need?

tirthbha commented 10 months ago

@AhmedCode99 I think it is automatically detected by the algorithm that we have used for the optimization. For example, in our case, wee have used BFGS algorithm, which minimize potential of the cubical structure in 32 steps.

Ya I do think the same. We have not used the any tolerance value beside that the constants defined to estimate the potential energy.

as mentioned in the Main Nacl.py it is BFGS @AhmedCode99

This is interesting and somewhat useful
