def _is_converged(self, dual_threshold=None, integrality_gap_threshold=None):
        """
        This method checks the integrality gap to ensure either:
            * we have found a near to exact solution or
            * stuck on a local minima.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dual_threshold: double
                        This sets the minimum width between the dual objective decrements. If the decrement is lesser
                        than the threshold, then that means we have stuck on a local minima.

        integrality_gap_threshold: double
                                   This sets the threshold for the integrality gap below which we say that the solution
                                   is satisfactory.
