Detailed Description

This is the anchor point for all constructs in a FlopC++ model.

The constructors take an OsiSolverInterface, and (optionally) a replacemente for the Messenger class. There are some built-in changes to the verbosity for output.
The main methods to use are:

add(MP_constraint & c)
add(MP_variable* v)
maximize() and minimize()
The main ideas are to construct a model, construct domains where things are defined over, then construct variables, constraints, and add them in. Finally, one attaches data and the model is "complete". Then minimize is called, the model is attached and the OsiSolverInterface is called.
Note:
There are variations on adding objectives and maximize/minimize

Definition at line 94 of file MP_model.hpp.

enum flopc::MP_model::MP_status

Reflects the state of the solution from solve().

Enumerator:

OPTIMAL	if the solve method is called and the optimal solution found.
PRIMAL_INFEASIBLE	if solve is called and solver finds model primal infeasible.
DUAL_INFEASIBLE	if solve is called and solver finds the model dual infeasible.
ABANDONED	if solve is called and solver abandons the problem (time?, iter limit?)
SOLVER_ONLY	A solver is placed in the constructor, but it is not yet attached or solved.
ATTACHED	A solver is attached, but not yet solved.
DETACHED	No solver is attached.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

flopc::MP_model::MP_model	(	OsiSolverInterface *	s,
		Messenger *	m = `new NormalMessenger`
	)

Constructs an MP_model from an OsiSolverInterface *.

flopc::MP_model::~MP_model ( )

flopc::MP_model::MP_model ( const MP_model & ) [private]

Member Function Documentation

MP_status flopc::MP_model::getStatus ( ) const [inline]

Returns the current status of the model-solver interaction.

This method will return the current understanding of the model in regard to the solver's state.

Note:: It is not kept up to date if a call is made directly to the solver. Only if the MP_model interface is used.

See also:: MP_status

Definition at line 129 of file MP_model.hpp.

void flopc::MP_model::silent ( ) [inline]

used to silence FlopC++

Definition at line 133 of file MP_model.hpp.

void flopc::MP_model::verbose ( ) [inline]

used to help understanding and debugging FlopC++'s behavior.

Definition at line 138 of file MP_model.hpp.

void flopc::MP_model::setSolver ( OsiSolverInterface * s ) [inline]

allows for replacement of the solver used.

Definition at line 144 of file MP_model.hpp.

OsiSolverInterface* flopc::MP_model::operator-> ( ) [inline]

allows access to the OsiSolverInterface *

Definition at line 149 of file MP_model.hpp.

MP_model& flopc::MP_model::add ( MP_constraint & constraint )

Adds a constrataint block to the model.

void flopc::MP_model::maximize ( )

Binds the data and calls the solver to maximize the current objective expression.

void flopc::MP_model::maximize ( const MP_expression & obj )

Binds the data and calls the solver to maximize the parameter obj objective expression.

void flopc::MP_model::minimize ( )

Binds the data and calls the solver to minimize the current objective expression.

void flopc::MP_model::minimize ( const MP_expression & obj )

Binds the data and calls the solver to minimize the parameter obj objective expression.

void flopc::MP_model::minimize_max	(	MP_set &	d,
		const MP_expression &	obj
	)

Binds the data and calls the solver to minimize maximum value of the parameter obj objective expression.

void flopc::MP_model::setObjective ( const MP_expression & o )

sets the "current objective" to the parameter o

void flopc::MP_model::attach ( OsiSolverInterface * solver = 0 )

attaches the symantic representation of a model and data to a particular OsiSolverInterface

Note:: this is called as a part of minimize(), maximize(), and minimize_max(); This takes the symantic representation of the model, generates coefficients for the matrices and adds them into the OsiSolverInterface. The OsiSolverInterface may be specified at construction time, or as late as the call to attach()

void flopc::MP_model::detach ( )

detaches an OsiSolverInterface object from the model.

In essence, this will clean up any intermediate storage. A model may then be attached to another solverInterface.

Note:: a solver may only be attached to one solver at a time

Todo:: verify that on "attach", old solver is detached.

MP_model::MP_status flopc::MP_model::solve ( const MP_model::MP_direction & dir )

calls the appropriate solving methods in the OsiSolverInterface.

Note:: this is called as a part of minimize(), maximize(), and minimize_max() It expects that the object function is already set and only the direction is to be specified.
