soft_convergence_limit

Limit number of iterations w/ little improvement

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): INTEGER

Default: 5

## Description

`soft_convergence_limit` (a soft convergence control for the surrogate_based_local iterations which limits the number of consecutive iterations with improvement less than the convergence tolerance). soft_convergence>1 counts an iteration in which a design point was rejected as an iteration with no improvement. Setting soft_convergence=1 ignores iterations involving rejected points, instead comparing only consecutive iterations of accepted points.
