+The options allows the user to set various parameters of the Optimization problem.
+It should be defined as type "list" and contains the following fields.

+<listitem>IntegerTolerance : a Scalar, a number with that value of an integer is considered integer..</listitem>
+<listitem>MaxNodes : a Scalar, containing the Maximum Number of Nodes that the solver should search.</listitem>
+<listitem>CpuTime : a Scalar, containing the Maximum amount of CPU Time that the solver should take.</listitem>
+<listitem>AllowableGap : a Scalar, to stop the tree search when the gap between the objective value of the best known solution is reached.</listitem>
+<listitem>MaxIter : a Scalar, containing the Maximum Number of Iteration that the solver should take.</listitem>
+<listitem>gradobj : a string, to turn on or off the user supplied objective gradient.</listitem>
+<listitem>hessian : a Scalar, to turn on or off the user supplied objective hessian.</listitem>
+<listitem>Default Values : options = list('integertolerance',1d-06,'maxnodes',2147483647,'cputime',1d10,'allowablegap',0,'maxiter',2147483647,'gradobj',"off",'hessian',"off")</listitem>

+The exitflag allows to know the status of the optimization which is given back by Ipopt.
