The two most common reasons for divergence are

  1) an incorrectly coded or computed gradient or Hessian

  2) failure or lack of convergence in the linear system (in this case we recommend

     testing with -pc_type lu to eliminate the linear solver as the cause of the problem).

Developer Notes

The string versions of these are in TAOConvergedReasons, if you change any value here you must also adjust that array.
