findmin warning

Post by kengel » Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:30 pm

Hello:

Is there any documentation about the findmin warning? I am getting warnings that look like this, and I'm not sure whether they compromise my results or not:

findmin : WARNING -
The 2nd degree equation has no positive root (choice=4).

findmin : COMMENT -
There is a problem, since the new total energy is larger than the old (choice=4).
I take a point between the old and new, close to the old .

Thank you,
Kale
