meaning of 'more robust to'?
Power flow algorithms that are more robust to poor initial points and stressed cases.
What does this "to poor initial points" mean? How does this sentence is structured?
thank you all for the answers, and sorry, I noticed my last sentence was not correct. It should be read "How is this sentence structured"

Robust is generally used to mean tolerant of, able to withstand without failure. Adaptable to a more varied set of conditions than a less robust item would be.
The sentence appears to mean (through the jargonesque wording) that the idea is to drive or push (make and use) algorithms which can work better even when dealing with poor input conditions or when the system is stressful and could cause lesser algorithms to freeze or fail.
The sentence is not well structured. (to) Power algorithms. that are robust enough to withstand poor starting conditions.

This is an incomplete sentence.
Maybe it's called a clause?
It doesn't have the standard SUBJECT, VERB, OBJECT layout.
The use of: more robust to
makes little sense to me.
