Hi Olaf,

Thank you for the changes.

I have made a few additions for Inf bound constraints in [1].

I checked this with Matlab. It puts the multipliers for too close
bound constraints in the corresponding indices of lambda.lower. I have
done the same now.
Should I put it in lambda.upper as well?

Kind Regards,
