virtual useless_constraint_action::~useless_constraint_action | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

## Member Function Documentation

const char* useless_constraint_action::name | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

A name for debug printing.

It is expected that the name is not stored in the transform itself.

Implements CoinPresolveAction.

static const CoinPresolveAction* useless_constraint_action::presolve | ( | CoinPresolveMatrix * | prob,
|  | const int * | useless_rows,
|  | int | nuseless_rows,
|  | const CoinPresolveAction * | next |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

void useless_constraint_action::postsolve | ( | CoinPostsolveMatrix * | prob | ) | const`[virtual]`

Apply the postsolve transformation for this particular presolve action.

Implements CoinPresolveAction.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

const CoinPresolveAction * testRedundant | ( | CoinPresolveMatrix * | prob,
|  | const CoinPresolveAction * | next |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

Scan constraints looking for useless constraints.

A front end to identify useless constraints and hand them to useless_constraint_action::presolve() for processing.

In a bit more detail, the routine implements a greedy algorithm that identifies a set of necessary constraints. A constraint is necessary if it implies a tighter bound on a variable than the original column bound. These tighter column bounds are then used to calculate row activity and identify constraints that are useless given the presence of the necessary constraints.
