[sdpa-users] SDPA-M Terminates Early

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I try to use sdpa-m to solve a linear programming. It terminates just after 9 iterations without achieving the optimal solution. The shown information is：

The manual say "dfeas" means  the dual problem got feasible but the iteration has exceeded the maxIteration. But clearly it is not the case here. So what's the real reason for such early termination ?
