## Detailed Description

This class holds every data for the Volume Algorithm and its `solve` method must be invoked to solve the problem.

The INPUT fields must be filled out completely before `solve` is invoked. `dsol` have to be filled out if and only if the last argument to `solve` is `true`.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VOL_problem::VOL_problem | ( | const VOL_problem & |  | ) | `[private]`

VOL_problem::VOL_problem | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

VOL_problem::VOL_problem | ( | const char * | filename | ) |

Create a a `VOL_problem` object and read in the parameters from `filename`.

VOL_problem::~VOL_problem | ( |  | ) |

Destruct the object.

## Member Function Documentation

VOL_problem& VOL_problem::operator= | ( | const VOL_problem & |  | ) | `[private]`

void VOL_problem::set_default_parm | ( |  | ) | `[private]`

int VOL_problem::solve | ( | VOL_user_hooks & | hooks,
|  | const bool | use_preset_dual = `false` |
| ) |  |  |

Solve the problem using the `hooks`.

Any information needed in the hooks must be stored in the structure `user_data` points to.

int VOL_problem::iter | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

returns the iteration number

Definition at line 682 of file OsiTestSolver.hpp.

double VOL_problem::alpha | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

returns the value of alpha

Definition at line 684 of file OsiTestSolver.hpp.

References alpha_.

double VOL_problem::lambda | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

returns the value of lambda

Definition at line 686 of file OsiTestSolver.hpp.

References lambda_.

void VOL_problem::read_params | ( | const char * | filename | ) | `[private]`

Read in the parameters from the file `filename`.

int VOL_problem::initialize | ( | const bool | use_preset_dual | ) | `[private]`

initializes duals, bounds for the duals, alpha, lambda

void VOL_problem::print_info | ( | const int | iter,
|  | const VOL_primal & | primal,
|  | const VOL_primal & | pstar,
|  | const VOL_dual & | dual |
| ) |  |  | `[private]`

print volume info every parm.printinvl iterations

double VOL_problem::readjust_target | ( | const double | oldtarget,
|  | const double | lcost |
| ) |  |  | const`[private]`

Checks if lcost is close to the target, if so it increases the target.

Close means that we got within 5% of the target.

double VOL_problem::power_heur | ( | const VOL_primal & | primal,
|  | const VOL_primal & | pstar,
|  | const VOL_dual & | dual |
| ) |  |  | const`[private]`

Here we decide the value of alpha1 to be used in the convex combination.

The new pstar will be computed as
pstar = alpha1 * pstar + (1 - alpha1) * primal
More details of this are in doc.ps.
IN: alpha, primal, pstar, dual

Returns:
  alpha1
