– new option “endval_steady” to pf_setup command to recompute terminal
steady state in the homotopy loop
– new options “homotopy_linearization_fallback” and
“homotopy_marginal_linearization_fallback” to pf_solver and pfwee_solver
commands, to get an approximate solution when homotopy fails to go to 100%
– new options “homotopy_initial_step_size”, “homotopy_min_step_size”,
“homotopy_step_size_increase_success_count” and “homotopy_max_completion_share”
to pf_solver and pfwee_solver commands to fine tune the homotopy behaviour
– removed option “homotopy_alt_starting_point” to pf_solver command, not really
useful
– new options “steady_solve_algo”, “steady_tolf”, “steady_tolx”,
“steady_maxit”, “steady_markowitz” to pf_solver and pfwee_solver commands, to
control the computation of the terminal steady state (and remove the
equivalent options which previously had different names in pfwee_solver command)
– Remove the terminal_steady_state_as_guess_value option to pfwee_solver
– pfwee_setup now sets the same guess values as pf_setup (i.e. terminal steady
state at all periods)
– With constant_simulation_length option, pfwee_solver uses terminal steady
state as guess values for periods that are added to the simulation
