Class KCoinLinearRelaxationSolver


  • public class KCoinLinearRelaxationSolver
    extends KLinearRelaxationSolver
    This linear relaxation solver relies on CoinMP to solve the LP/MIP problem.

    Example:
    
    KProblem myProblem(mySession,"");
    // ...
    KLinearRelaxation * relax = myProblem.getLinearRelaxation();
    KCoinLinearRelaxationSolver mySolver(*relax, objectiveVar, KProblem::Minimize);
    

    You must have the coinMP.lib and coinMP.dll to use this.

    2016.1

      • getBestBound

        public double getBestBound()
        Get the best bound in a branch and bound tree.

        Useful if search terminated before optimality.

        getBestBound in class KRelaxationSolver
      • print

        public void print()
        Print the internal state of the solver.

        Use is discouraged, use method writeLP to output the content of the solver.
        Overrides:
        print in class KRelaxationSolver
      • writeLP

        public int writeLP​(java.lang.String filename)
        Write the current problem to a file in lp format.
        Overrides:
        writeLP in class KLinearRelaxationSolver
        Parameters:
        filename - the path of the file to write (existing file is overwrited, if any)
        Returns:
        return code is reserved for future use (for now, errors are trapped by an exception)
      • generateCuts

        public void generateCuts​(KLinearRelaxation relaxation)
        Generate cuts.

        If possible, cuts are added to the matrix of constraints to make
        the relaxation tighter and improve the bound.

        generateCuts in class KLinearRelaxationSolver
      • printSolution

        public void printSolution​(boolean MIPflag)

        Parameters:
        MIPflag - to choose whether to print the current MIP solution or the current LP solution
      • printVariables

        public void printVariables()
        Print variables name and their rank.

        This is useful to recover the meaning of the columns in the LP file produced by writeLP().
