## Detailed Description

Validate cuts against a known solution.

OsiRowCutDebugger provides a facility for validating cuts against a known solution for a problem. The debugger knows an optimal solution for many of the miplib3 problems. Check the source for activate(const OsiSolverInterface&,const char*) in OsiRowCutDebugger.cpp for the full set of known problems.

A full solution vector can be supplied as a parameter with (activate(const OsiSolverInterface&,const double*,bool)). Only the integer values need to be valid. The default behaviour is to solve an lp relaxation with the integer variables fixed to the specified values and use the optimal solution to fill in the continuous variables in the solution. The debugger can be instructed to preserve the continuous variables (useful when debugging solvers where the linear relaxation doesn't capture all the constraints).

Note that the solution must match the problem held in the solver interface. If you want to use the row cut debugger on a problem after applying presolve transformations, your solution must match the presolved problem. (But see redoSolution().)

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OsiRowCutDebugger::OsiRowCutDebugger | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor - no checking.

OsiRowCutDebugger::OsiRowCutDebugger | ( | const OsiSolverInterface & | si,
|  | const char * | model |
| ) |  |  |

Constructor with name of model.

See activate(const OsiSolverInterface&,const char*).

OsiRowCutDebugger::OsiRowCutDebugger | ( | const OsiSolverInterface & | si,
|  | const double * | solution,
|  | bool | enforceOptimality = `false` |
| ) |  |  |

Constructor with full solution.

See activate(const OsiSolverInterface&,const double*,bool).

OsiRowCutDebugger::OsiRowCutDebugger | ( | const OsiRowCutDebugger & |  | ) |

Copy constructor.

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

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual int OsiRowCutDebugger::validateCuts | ( | const OsiCuts & | cs,
|  | int | first,
|  | int | last |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Check that the set of cuts does not cut off the solution known to the debugger.

Check if any generated cuts cut off the solution known to the debugger! If so then print offending cuts. Return the number of invalid cuts.

virtual bool OsiRowCutDebugger::invalidCut | ( | const OsiRowCut & | rowcut | ) | const`[virtual]`

Check that the cut does not cut off the solution known to the debugger.

Return true if cut is invalid

bool OsiRowCutDebugger::onOptimalPath | ( | const OsiSolverInterface & | si | ) | const

Returns true if the solution held in the solver is compatible with the known solution.

More specifically, returns true if the known solution satisfies the column bounds held in the solver.

bool OsiRowCutDebugger::activate | ( | const OsiSolverInterface & | si,
|  | const char * | model |
| ) |  |  |

Activate a debugger using the name of a problem.

The debugger knows an optimal solution for most of miplib3. Check the source code for the full list. Returns true if the debugger is successfully activated.

bool OsiRowCutDebugger::activate | ( | const OsiSolverInterface & | si,
|  | const double * | solution,
|  | bool | keepContinuous = `false` |
| ) |  |  |

Activate a debugger using a full solution array.

The solution must have one entry for every variable, but only the entries for integer values are used. By default the debugger will solve an lp relaxation with the integer variables fixed and fill in values for the continuous variables from this solution. If the debugger should preserve the given values for the continuous variables, set `keepContinuous` to `true`.

Returns true if debugger activates successfully.

bool OsiRowCutDebugger::active | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if the debugger is active.

const double* OsiRowCutDebugger::optimalSolution | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return the known solution.

Definition at line 111 of file OsiRowCutDebugger.hpp.

int OsiRowCutDebugger::numberColumns | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return the number of columns in the known solution.

Definition at line 115 of file OsiRowCutDebugger.hpp.

double OsiRowCutDebugger::optimalValue | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Return the value of the objective for the known solution.

Definition at line 118 of file OsiRowCutDebugger.hpp.

void OsiRowCutDebugger::redoSolution | ( | int | numberColumns,
|  | const int * | originalColumns |
| ) |  |  |

Edit the known solution to reflect column changes.

Given a translation array `originalColumns`[numberColumns] which can translate current column indices to original column indices, this method will edit the solution held in the debugger so that it matches the current set of columns.

Useful when the original problem is preprocessed prior to cut generation. The debugger does keep a record of the changes.

int OsiRowCutDebugger::printOptimalSolution | ( | const OsiSolverInterface & | si | ) | const

Print optimal solution (returns -1 bad debug, 0 on optimal, 1 not).

OsiRowCutDebugger& OsiRowCutDebugger::operator= | ( | const OsiRowCutDebugger & | rhs | ) |

Assignment operator.
