My understanding is that you're basically playing a game of "hi-lo." In other words, take a guess. If it's too high, take a lower guess. Too low, make a higher guess. Eventually you'll zero in on the correct score. If it kept failing in the same direction, you'd continue to make lower and lower (or higher and higher) guesses until you hit the correct score. Doesn't sound right, but maybe I'm misunderstanding you... >If you use convergence-accelerating heuristics, dual bounds will probably >be better 'cos you will be failing in both directions then. Maybe that's what I'm thinking about. (?) -- James > >-- >GCP
