Dear MathGroup,
It is a haunting problem for me, that I would like to iterate a function
(eg. ConstrainedMin) with different arguments until it fails to give a
solution. In this case I used to "catch" the Message thrown by
ConstrainedMin with Check, but I can't deal with the side effect, that
ConstrainedMin prints a message ("The specified constraints cannot be
satisfied") when it fails. I would like to avoid printing this message.
If I turn off the ConstrainedMin::nsat message, I can't Check it.
If I redirect the $Messages output to nowhere, I may lose other
messages as well.
Are there any other (better) solutions?
Thanks you in advance,
David Rock
