Detailed Description

A class to express a linear objective.

Definition at line 1019 of file linear_solver.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MPObjective()

operations_research::MPObjective::MPObjective ( const MPObjective & )

delete

This type is neither copyable nor movable.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddLinearExpr()

void operations_research::MPObjective::AddLinearExpr ( const LinearExpr & linear_expr )

Adds linear_expr to the current objective, does not change the direction.

Definition at line 242 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ BestBound()

double operations_research::MPObjective::BestBound ( ) const

Returns the best objective bound.

In case of minimization, it is a lower bound on the objective value of the optimal integer solution. Only available for discrete problems.

Note(user): the best objective bound belongs to the interface for the same reasons as the objective value does.

Definition at line 279 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ Clear()

void operations_research::MPObjective::Clear ( )

Clears the offset, all variables and coefficients, and the optimization direction.

Definition at line 250 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ GetCoefficient()

double operations_research::MPObjective::GetCoefficient ( const MPVariable * var ) const

--— MPObjective --—

Gets the coefficient of a given variable in the objective

It returns 0 if the variable does not appear in the objective).

Definition at line 194 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ maximization()

bool operations_research::MPObjective::maximization ( ) const

Is the optimization direction set to maximize?

Definition at line 268 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ MaximizeLinearExpr()

void operations_research::MPObjective::MaximizeLinearExpr ( const LinearExpr & linear_expr )

inline

Resets the current objective to maximize linear_expr.

Definition at line 1070 of file linear_solver.h.

◆ minimization()

bool operations_research::MPObjective::minimization ( ) const

Is the optimization direction set to minimize?

Definition at line 270 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ MinimizeLinearExpr()

void operations_research::MPObjective::MinimizeLinearExpr ( const LinearExpr & linear_expr )

inline

Resets the current objective to minimize linear_expr.

Definition at line 1074 of file linear_solver.h.

◆ offset()

double operations_research::MPObjective::offset ( ) const

inline

Gets the constant term in the objective.

Definition at line 1061 of file linear_solver.h.

◆ operator=()

MPObjective & operations_research::MPObjective::operator= ( const MPObjective & )

delete

◆ OptimizeLinearExpr()

void operations_research::MPObjective::OptimizeLinearExpr	(	const LinearExpr &	linear_expr,
		bool	is_maximization )

Resets the current objective to take the value of linear_expr, and sets the objective direction to maximize if "is_maximize", otherwise minimizes.

Definition at line 230 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ SetCoefficient()

void operations_research::MPObjective::SetCoefficient	(	const MPVariable *	var,
		double	coeff )

Sets the coefficient of the variable in the objective.

If the variable does not belong to the solver, the function just returns, or crashes in non-opt mode.

See the discussion on MPConstraint::SetCoefficient() for 0 coefficients, the same reasoning applies here.

Definition at line 200 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ SetMaximization()

void operations_research::MPObjective::SetMaximization ( )

inline

Sets the optimization direction to maximize.

Definition at line 1088 of file linear_solver.h.

◆ SetMinimization()

void operations_research::MPObjective::SetMinimization ( )

inline

Sets the optimization direction to minimize.

Definition at line 1085 of file linear_solver.h.

◆ SetOffset()

void operations_research::MPObjective::SetOffset ( double value )

Sets the constant term in the objective.

Definition at line 215 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ SetOptimizationDirection()

void operations_research::MPObjective::SetOptimizationDirection ( bool maximize )

Sets the optimization direction (maximize: true or minimize: false).

Note(user): The maximize_ bool would more naturally belong to the MPObjective, but it actually has to be a member of MPSolverInterface, because some implementations (such as GLPK) need that bool for the MPSolverInterface constructor, i.e. at a time when the MPObjective is not constructed yet (MPSolverInterface is always built before MPObjective when a new MPSolver is constructed).

Definition at line 257 of file linear_solver.cc.

◆ terms()

const absl::flat_hash_map< const MPVariable *, double > & operations_research::MPObjective::terms ( ) const

inline

Returns a map from variables to their coefficients in the objective.

If a variable is not present in the map, then its coefficient is zero.

Definition at line 1053 of file linear_solver.h.

◆ Value()

double operations_research::MPObjective::Value ( ) const

Returns the objective value of the best solution found so far.

It is the optimal objective value if the problem has been solved to optimality.

Note: the objective value may be slightly different than what you could compute yourself using MPVariable::solution_value(); please use the –verify_solution flag to gain confidence about the numerical stability of your solution.

Note(user): implementation-wise, the objective value belongs more naturally to the MPSolverInterface, since all of its implementations write to it directly.
