Here we provide information on testruns comparing
different solution
methods on standardized sets of testproblems, running on the same or
on different computer systems. Benchmarking is a difficult area for
nonlinear problems, since different codes use different criteria for
termination. Although much effort has been invested in making results
comparable, in a critical situation you should try the candidates of your
choice on
your specific application. Many benchmark results can be found in the
literature,
