Abstract
Most global optimization systems provide little output beyond an estim ated optimum point or a failure message. Since nonlinear global optimi zation problems can be quite complex, more information is needed if th e solution is to be trusted or if the model requires modification. We describe a system which provides measures of confidence in the returne d solution, and helpful information in the case of infeasibility, unbo undedness, or early termination.
