linpro — linear programming solver
[x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b [,x0]) [x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b,ci,cs [,x0]) [x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b,ci,cs,me [,x0]) [x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b,ci,cs,me,x0 [,imp])
| p | : real column vector (dimension n) |
| C | : real matrix (dimension (me + md) x n) (If no constraints are given, you can set C = []) |
| b | : RHS column vector (dimension (me + md)) (If no constraints are given, you can set b = []) |
| ci | : column vector of lower-bounds (dimension n). If there are no lower bound constraints, put ci = []. If some components of x are bounded from below, set the other (unconstrained) values of ci to a very large negative number (e.g. ci(j) = -number_properties('huge'). |
| cs | : column vector of upper-bounds. (Same remarks as above). |
| me | : number of equality constraints (i.e. C(1:me,:)*x = b(1:me)) |
| x0 | : either an initial guess for x or one of the character strings 'v' or 'g'. If x0='v' the calculated initial feasible point is a vertex. If x0='g' the calculated initial feasible point is arbitrary. |
| imp | : verbose option (optional parameter) (Try imp=7,8,...) warning the message are output in the window where scilab has been started. |
| x | : optimal solution found. |
| f | : optimal value of the cost function (i.e. f=p'*x). |
| lagr | : vector of Lagrange multipliers. If lower and upper-bounds ci,cs are provided, lagr has n + me + md components and lagr(1:n) is the Lagrange vector associated with the bound constraints and lagr (n+1 : n + me + md) is the Lagrange vector associated with the linear constraints. (If an upper-bound (resp. lower-bound) constraint i is active lagr(i) is > 0 (resp. <0). If no bounds are provided, lagr has only me + md components. |
[x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b [,x0]) Minimize p'*x under the constraints C*x <= b
[x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b,ci,cs [,x0]) Minimize p'*x under the constraints C*x <= b , ci <= x <= cs
[x,lagr,f]=linpro(p,C,b,ci,cs,me [,x0]) Minimize p'*x under the constraints
C(j,:) x = b(j), j=1,...,me
C(j,:) x <= b(j), j=me+1,...,me+md
ci <= x <= cs
If no initial point is given the program computes a feasible initial point which is a vertex of the region of feasible points if x0='v'.
If x0='g', the program computes a feasible initial point which is not necessarily a vertex. This mode is advisable when the quadratic form is positive definite and there are a few constraints in the problem or when there are large bounds on the variables that are security bounds and very likely not active at the optimal solution.
