Detailed Description

‍Iterator for LinkPowMap

A kPowHandler handles the Quadratic functions of a problem in a simplistic fashion. For now, we will just handle squares of singleton variables e.g. $x_1^2 = y_1$, and bilinear terms: $x_1x_2 = y_1$.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addConstraint()

void kPowHandler::addConstraint ( ConstraintPtr  newcon)
virtual

Add constraint to be handled by this handler.

Parameters
[in]newconConstraint to be added.

Reimplemented from Minotaur::Handler.

◆ fixNodeErr()

int kPowHandler::fixNodeErr ( RelaxationPtr  ,
ConstSolutionPtr  ,
SolutionPoolPtr  ,
bool &   
)
virtual

This function processes a node further if no branching candidates were found by the brancher. It is only implemented for QuadHandler as of now.

Reimplemented from Minotaur::Handler.

◆ getBranches()

Branches kPowHandler::getBranches ( BrCandPtr  cand,
DoubleVector &  x,
RelaxationPtr  rel,
SolutionPoolPtr  s_pool 
)
virtual

Return branches for branching.

Get branches by branching on the given candidate. In the general scheme for branching, we store only bound changes, though we are also capable of storing other mods.

Parameters
[in]candCandidate on which the brancher wants to branch.
[in]xThe solution of the relaxation at the current node.
[in]relThe relaxation at the current node.
[in]s_poolBest feasible solutions found so far.
Returns
a vector of branch-objects.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ getBranchingCandidates()

void kPowHandler::getBranchingCandidates ( RelaxationPtr  rel,
const DoubleVector &  x,
ModVector &  mods,
BrVarCandSet &  cands,
BrCandVector &  gencands,
bool &  is_inf 
)
virtual

find branching candidates.

A brancher will ask each handler by calling this function to list branching candidates.

Parameters
[in]relRelaxation being solved at current node.
[in]xSolution of the relaxation.
[out]modsAny modifications that the handler found (Unused).
[out]candsThe set of candidates to which branching candidates must be inserted. This set has candidates that want to branch on a single variable only. Other candidates must go into gencands.
[out]gencandsThe vector of general branching candidates. All candidates that do not want to branch on a variable dichotomy must be added in this vector.
[out]is_inftrue if the handler finds that the problem is infeasible and the node can be pruned.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ getBrMod()

ModificationPtr kPowHandler::getBrMod ( BrCandPtr  cand,
DoubleVector &  x,
RelaxationPtr  rel,
BranchDirection  dir 
)
virtual

Get the modifcation that creates a given (up or down) branch.

If one branch is pruned by the brancher (e.g. strong brancher), then we can apply the modifications of other branch to the relaxation without branching. This routine returns such a modification. This function is also called for obtaining modifications for strong branching on a candidate.

Parameters
[in]candThe candidate for which we want the modification.
[in]xThe solution of relaxation at current node.
[in]relThe relaxation at current node.
[in]dirThe Direction for which we want the modification, Up or Down?.
Returns
Modification that can be applied to the relaxation before re-solving it.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ getName()

std::string kPowHandler::getName ( ) const
virtual

Return the name of the handler.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ isFeasible()

bool kPowHandler::isFeasible ( ConstSolutionPtr  sol,
RelaxationPtr  rel,
bool &  should_prune,
double &  inf_meas 
)
virtual

Check if a solution is feasible.

Check if a given solution is feasible for the constraints that are handled by this handler. should_prune is true if the handler finds that the problem itself is infeasible and the current node can be pruned (which is different from a solution not being feasible).

Parameters
[in]solThe solution of the relaxation whose feasibility we want to test.
[in]relThe relaxation.
[out]should_pruneTrue if the relaxation is infeasible and we can prune the node associated.
[out]inf_measA measure of infeasibility. It may be used by heuristics and other code to make the tree-search faster. Computing this value is optional.
Returns
True if sol is feasible for constraints/objective asociated with this handler. False if sol is not feasible.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ postSolveRootNode()

bool kPowHandler::postSolveRootNode ( RelaxationPtr  ,
SolutionPoolPtr  ,
ConstSolutionPtr  ,
ModVector &  ,
ModVector &   
)
virtual

At the root node post solve the problem and its relaxation. LP based bound tightening (OBBT) is employed here after filtering variables for which no OBBT is required.

Parameters
[in]relRelaxation at the root node.
[in]s_poolPool of solutions.
[in]solThe solution from the LP relaxation
[in]p_modsUnused. Modifications to the problem that must be stored in this node so that they are applied to all descendant nodes as well. All modifications must be appended not prepended.
[out]r_modsModifications to the relaxation that must be stored in this node so that they are applied to all descendant nodes as well. All modifications must be appended not prepended. This may be unnecessary in certain algorithms.
Returns
true if the LP solution still remains feasible to the relaxation.

Reimplemented from Minotaur::Handler.

◆ presolve()

SolveStatus kPowHandler::presolve ( PreModQ *  pre_mods,
bool *  changed,
Solution **  sol 
)
virtual

Initial presolve.

Do the initial presolve. For now we will assume that presolve modifies the given problem. We do not create a new problem. All modifications that require post-processing for getting the solution back are prepended to 'pre_mods' by the handler.

Parameters
[in]pre_modsA pointer to a queue of PreMod objects. Modifications made by the presolver must be prepended (not appended) to pre_mods. The order is important for post-solve.
[out]changedTrue if the presolve modified the problem.
Returns
status of presolve.
Parameters
[out]solOptimal solution found by the handler, if any. The status must be SolvedOptimal if and only if sol is created.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ presolveNode()

bool kPowHandler::presolveNode ( RelaxationPtr  rel,
NodePtr  node,
SolutionPoolPtr  s_pool,
ModVector &  p_mods,
ModVector &  r_mods 
)
virtual

Presolve the problem and its relaxation at a node.

Presolve the problem and its relaxation at a given node. Bound propagation and other simple modifications can be made in this function. It is called after the node relaxation is setup but before it is solved. Both the problem and its relaxation are presolved. Changes to the problem are stored in the tree. Changes to the relaxation are optional and may or may not be stored in the tree.

Parameters
[in]relRelaxation at the current node.
[in]nodeCurrent node.
[in]s_poolPool of solutions.
[in]p_modsUnused. Modifications to the problem that must be stored in this node so that they are applied to all descendant nodes as well. All modifications must be appended not prepended.
[out]r_modsModifications to the relaxation that must be stored in this node so that they are applied to all descendant nodes as well. All modifications must be appended not prepended. This may be unnecessary in certain algorithms.
Returns
true if Node can be pruned because infeasibility is detected.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ relaxInitFull()

void kPowHandler::relaxInitFull ( RelaxationPtr  rel,
SolutionPool sp,
bool *  is_inf 
)
virtual

Create root relaxation if doing full node relaxations.

This method is used to add all the variables and constraints handled by this handler, with the understanding that nodes will also be fully rebuilt. The relaxation is already created, it should not be freed or re-allocated.

Parameters
[in,out]relThe relaxation that is being constructed.
[in]Solutionpool for storing any new solutions found.
[out]is_infis true if the handler finds that the problem is infeasible.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ relaxInitInc()

void kPowHandler::relaxInitInc ( RelaxationPtr  rel,
SolutionPool sp,
bool *  is_inf 
)
virtual

Create root relaxation if doing incremental node relaxations.

This method is used to add all the variables and constraints handled by this handler, with the understanding that nodes will incrementally relaxed. The relaxation is already created, it should not be freed or re-allocated.

Parameters
[in,out]relThe relaxation that is being constructed.
[in]Solutionpool for storing any new solutions found.
[out]is_infis true if the handler finds that the problem is infeasible.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ relaxNodeFull()

void kPowHandler::relaxNodeFull ( NodePtr  node,
RelaxationPtr  rel,
bool *  is_inf 
)
virtual

Create a relaxation for a node, building from scratch.

Create a relaxation of the constraints. Either this method, or relaxNodeInc should be called at each node. Here, we only make minor modifications to the same relaxation.

Parameters
[in]nodeis the node for which relaxation is to be created.
[in]relis the relaxation that is being constructed. Do not allocate or re-allocate space for it. Just add new variables or constraints to it.
[out]is_infis true if the node can be pruned.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

◆ relaxNodeInc()

void kPowHandler::relaxNodeInc ( NodePtr  node,
RelaxationPtr  rel,
bool *  is_inf 
)
virtual

Create an incremental relaxation for a node.

Create a relaxation of the constraints. Either this method, or nodeRelaxFull relax should be called at root node. Usually we only make minor modifications to the same relaxation.

Parameters
[in]nodeis the node for which relaxation is to be created.
[in]relis the relaxation that is being constructed. Do not allocate or re-allocate space for it. Just add new variables or constraints to it.
[out]is_infis true if the node can be pruned.

Implements Minotaur::Handler.

void kPowHandler::separate ( ConstSolutionPtr  sol,
NodePtr  node,
RelaxationPtr  rel,
CutManager cutman,
SolutionPoolPtr  s_pool,
ModVector &  p_mods,
ModVector &  r_mods,
bool *  sol_found,
SeparationStatus status
