Maximum number of path steps

Maximum number of path steps = <integer>

Description/Usage

This card is required for all continuation problems. <integer> is the maximum number of continuation steps which may be taken. Continuation will stop after this number of steps even if the final parameter value is not reached.

Examples

To continue in a chosen continuation parameter from 1 to 5 at increments of 0.5 for a problem which has difficulty converging, and allow a maximum of 25 steps, use:

Maximum number of path steps = 25

Technical Discussion

The initial continuation step, and every subsequent step attempt (successful or not), count toward this maximum.
