GRBModel#

GRBModel#

Gurobi model object. Commonly used methods include addVar (adds a new decision variable to the model), addConstr (adds a new constraint to the model), optimize (optimizes the current model), and get (retrieves the value of an attribute).

While the Java garbage collector will eventually collect an unused GRBModel object, the vast majority of the memory associated with a model is stored outside of the Java heap. As a result, the garbage collector can’t see this memory usage, and thus it can’t take this quantity into account when deciding whether collection is necessary. We recommend that you call GRBModel.dispose when you are done using a model.

GRBModel GRBModel(GRBEnv env)#

Constructor for GRBModel that creates an empty model. You can then call addVar and addConstr to populate the model with variables and constraints.

Arguments:: env – Environment for new model.
Return value:: New model object. Model initially contains no variables or constraints.

GRBModel GRBModel(GRBEnv env, String filename)#

Constructor for GRBModel that reads a model from a file. Note that the type of the file is encoded in the file name suffix. Valid suffixes are .mps, .rew, .lp, .rlp, .dua, .dlp, .ilp, or .opb. The files can be compressed, so additional suffixes of .zip, .gz, .bz2, or .7z are accepted.

Arguments:

Return value:

New model object.

GRBModel GRBModel(GRBModel model)#

void chgCoeff(GRBConstr constr, GRBVar var, double newval)#

Change one coefficient in the model. The desired change is captured using a GRBVar object, a GRBConstr object, and a desired coefficient for the specified variable in the specified constraint. If you make multiple changes to the same coefficient, the last one will be applied.

Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the change won’t actually take effect until you update the model (using GRBModel.update), optimize the model (using GRBModel.optimize), or write the model to disk (using GRBModel.write).

Arguments:

constr – Constraint for coefficient to be changed.
var – Variable for coefficient to be changed.
newval – Desired new value for coefficient.

void chgCoeffs(GRBConstr[] constrs, GRBVar[] vars, double[] newvals)#

Change a list of coefficients in the model. Each desired change is captured using a GRBVar object, a GRBConstr object, and a desired coefficient for the specified variable in the specified constraint. The entries in the input arrays each correspond to a single desired coefficient change. The lengths of the input arrays must all be the same. If you make multiple changes to the same coefficient, the last one will be applied.

Arguments:

constrs – Constraints for coefficients to be changed.
vars – Variables for coefficients to be changed.
newvals – Desired new values for coefficients.

void computeIIS()#

Compute an Irreducible Inconsistent Subsystem (IIS).

An IIS is a subset of the constraints and variable bounds with the following properties:

It is still infeasible, and
If a single constraint or bound is removed, the subsystem becomes feasible.

Note that an infeasible model may have multiple IISs. The one returned by Gurobi is not necessarily the smallest one; there may exist others with fewer constraints or bounds.

IIS results are returned in a number of attributes: IISConstr, IISLB, IISUB, IISSOS, IISQConstr, and IISGenConstr. Each indicates whether the corresponding model element is a member of the computed IIS.

Note that for models with general function constraints, piecewise-linear approximation of the constraints may cause unreliable IIS results.

The IIS log provides information about the progress of the algorithm, including a guess at the eventual IIS size.

If an IIS computation is interrupted before completion, Gurobi will return the smallest infeasible subsystem found to that point.

The IISConstrForce, IISLBForce, IISUBForce, IISSOSForce, IISQConstrForce, and IISGenConstrForce attributes allow you mark model elements to either include or exclude from the computed IIS. Setting the attribute to 1 forces the corresponding element into the IIS, setting it to 0 forces it out of the IIS, and setting it to -1 allows the algorithm to decide.

To give an example of when these attributes might be useful, consider the case where an initial model is known to be feasible, but it becomes infeasible after adding constraints or tightening bounds. If you are only interested in knowing which of the changes caused the infeasibility, you can force the unmodified bounds and constraints into the IIS. That allows the IIS algorithm to focus exclusively on the new constraints, which will often be substantially faster.

Note that setting any of the Force attributes to 0 may make the resulting subsystem feasible, which would then make it impossible to construct an IIS. Trying anyway will result in a IIS_NOT_INFEASIBLE error. Similarly, setting this attribute to 1 may result in an IIS that is not irreducible. More precisely, the system would only be irreducible with respect to the model elements that have force values of -1 or 0.

This method populates the IISConstr, IISQConstr, and IISGenConstr constraint attributes, the IISSOS, SOS attribute, and the IISLB and IISUB variable attributes. You can also obtain information about the results of the IIS computation by writing a .ilp format file (see GRBModel.write). This file contains only the IIS from the original model.

Use the IISMethod parameter to adjust the behavior of the IIS algorithm.

Note that this method can be used to compute IISs for both continuous and MIP models.

void discardConcurrentEnvs()#

Discard concurrent environments for a model.

The concurrent environments created by getConcurrentEnv will be used by every subsequent call to the concurrent optimizer until the concurrent environments are discarded.

Use getMultiobjEnv to create a multi-objective environment.

void discardMultiobjEnvs()#

Discard all multi-objective environments associated with the model, thus restoring multi objective optimization to its default behavior.

Please refer to the discussion of Multiple Objectives for information on how to specify multiple objective functions and control the trade-off between them.

Use getMultiobjEnv to create a multi-objective environments.

void dispose()#

Release the resources associated with a GRBModel object. While the Java garbage collector will eventually reclaim these resources, we recommend that you call the dispose method when you are done using a model.

You should not attempt to use a GRBModel object after calling dispose on it.

double feasRelax(int relaxobjtype, boolean minrelax, GRBVar[] vars, double[] lbpen, double[] ubpen, GRBConstr[] constrs, double[] rhspen)#

Modifies the GRBModel object to create a feasibility relaxation. Note that you need to call optimize on the result to compute the actual relaxed solution.

The feasibility relaxation is a model that, when solved, minimizes the amount by which the solution violates the bounds and linear constraints of the original model. This method provides a number of options for specifying the relaxation.

If you specify relaxobjtype=0, the objective of the feasibility relaxation is to minimize the sum of the weighted magnitudes of the bound and constraint violations. The lbpen, ubpen, and rhspen arguments specify the cost per unit violation in the lower bounds, upper bounds, and linear constraints, respectively.

If you specify relaxobjtype=1, the objective of the feasibility relaxation is to minimize the weighted sum of the squares of the bound and constraint violations. The lbpen, ubpen, and rhspen arguments specify the coefficients on the squares of the lower bound, upper bound, and linear constraint violations, respectively.

If you specify relaxobjtype=2, the objective of the feasibility relaxation is to minimize the weighted count of bound and constraint violations. The lbpen, ubpen, and rhspen arguments specify the cost of violating a lower bound, upper bound, and linear constraint, respectively.

To give an example, if a constraint with rhspen value p is violated by 2.0, it would contribute 2*p to the feasibility relaxation objective for relaxobjtype=0, it would contribute 2*2*p for relaxobjtype=1, and it would contribute p for relaxobjtype=2.

The minrelax argument is a boolean that controls the type of feasibility relaxation that is created. If minrelax=false, optimizing the returned model gives a solution that minimizes the cost of the violation. If minrelax=true, optimizing the returned model finds a solution that minimizes the original objective, but only from among those solutions that minimize the cost of the violation. Note that feasRelax must solve an optimization problem to find the minimum possible relaxation when minrelax=true, which can be quite expensive.

There are two signatures for this method. The more complex one takes a list of variables and constraints, as well as penalties associated with relaxing the corresponding lower bounds, upper bounds, and constraints. If a variable or constraint is not included in one of these lists, the associated bounds or constraints may not be violated. The simpler signature takes a pair of boolean arguments, vrelax and crelax, that indicate whether variable bounds and/or constraints can be violated. If vrelax/crelax is true, then every bound/constraint is allowed to be violated, respectively, and the associated cost is 1.0.

For an example of how this routine transforms a model, and more details about the variables and constraints created, please see this section.

Note that this is a destructive method: it modifies the model on which it is invoked. If you don’t want to modify your original model, use the GRBModel constructor to create a copy before invoking this method.

Create a feasibility relaxation model.

Arguments:

relaxobjtype – The cost function used when finding the minimum cost relaxation.
minrelax – The type of feasibility relaxation to perform.
vars – Variables whose bounds are allowed to be violated.
lbpen – Penalty for violating a variable lower bound. One entry for each variable in argument vars.
ubpen – Penalty for violating a variable upper bound. One entry for each variable in argument vars.
constrs – Linear constraints that are allowed to be violated.
rhspen – Penalty for violating a linear constraint. One entry for each constraint in argument constrs.

Return value:

Zero if minrelax is false. If minrelax is true, the return value is the objective value for the relaxation performed. If the value is less than 0, it indicates that the method failed to create the feasibility relaxation.

double feasRelax(int relaxobjtype, boolean minrelax, boolean vrelax, boolean crelax)#

minrelax – The type of feasibility relaxation to perform.

GRBModel fixedModel()#

Create the fixed model associated with a MIP model. The MIP model must have a solution loaded (e.g., after a call to the optimize method). In the fixed model, each integer variable is fixed to the value that variable takes in the MIP solution. In addition, continuous variables may be fixed to satisfy SOS or general constraints. The result is a model without any integrality constraints, SOS constraints, or general constraints.

Note that, while the fixed problem is always a continuous model, it may contain a non-convex quadratic objective or non-convex quadratic constraints. As a result, it may still be solved using the MIP algorithm.

Return value:: Fixed model associated with calling object.

GRBEnv getConcurrentEnv(int num)#

Create/retrieve a concurrent environment for a model.

This method provides fine-grained control over the concurrent optimizer. By creating your own concurrent environments and setting appropriate parameters on these environments (e.g., the Method parameter), you can control exactly which strategies the concurrent optimizer employs. For example, if you create two concurrent environments, and set Method to primal simplex for one and dual simplex for the other, subsequent concurrent optimizer runs will use the two simplex algorithms rather than the default choices.

Note that you must create contiguously numbered concurrent environments, starting with num=0. For example, if you want three concurrent environments, they must be numbered 0, 1, and 2.

Once you create concurrent environments, they will be used for every subsequent concurrent optimization on that model. Use discardConcurrentEnvs to revert back to default concurrent optimizer behavior.

Create/retrieve a multi-objective environment for the objective with the given index. This environment enables fine-grained control over the multi-objective optimization process. Specifically, by changing parameters on this environment, you modify the behavior of the optimization that occurs during the corresponding pass of the multi-objective optimization.

Each multi-objective environment starts with a copy of the current model environment.

Please refer to the discussion of Multiple Objectives for information on how to specify multiple objective functions and control the trade-off between them.

Retrieve an array of all SOS constraints in the model.

Return value:: All SOS constraints in the model.

void getTuneResult(int i)#

Use this method to retrieve the results of a previous tune call. Calling this method with argument n causes tuned parameter set n to be copied into the model. Parameter sets are stored in order of decreasing quality, with parameter set 0 being the best. The number of available sets is stored in attribute TuneResultCount.

Once you have retrieved a tuning result, you can call optimize to use these parameter settings to optimize the model, or write to write the changed parameters to a .prm file.

Please refer to the Parameter Tuning section in the Reference Manual for details on the tuning tool.

Arguments:: i – The index of the tuning result to retrieve. The best result is available as index 0. The number of stored results is available in attribute TuneResultCount.

Return value:: The requested variable.

GRBVar[] getVars()#

Retrieve an array of all variables in the model.

Return value:: All variables in the model.

void optimize()#

Optimize the model. The algorithm used for the optimization depends on the model type (simplex or barrier for a continuous model; branch-and-cut for a MIP model). Upon successful completion, this method will populate the solution related attributes of the model. See the Attributes section in the Reference Manual for more information on attributes.

Please consult this section in the Reference Manual for a discussion of some of the practical issues associated with solving a precisely defined mathematical model using finite-precision floating-point arithmetic.

Note that this method will process all pending model modifications.

void optimizeasync()#

Optimize a model asynchronously. This routine returns immediately. Your program can perform other computations while optimization proceeds in the background. To check the state of the asynchronous optimization, query the Status attribute for the model. A value of IN_PROGRESS indicates that the optimization has not yet completed. When you are done with your foreground tasks, you must call sync to sync your foreground program with the asynchronous optimization task.

Note that the set of Gurobi calls that you are allowed to make while optimization is running in the background is severely limited. Specifically, you can only perform attribute queries, and only for a few attributes (listed below). Any other calls on the running model, or on any other models that were built within the same Gurobi environment, will fail with error code OPTIMIZATION_IN_PROGRESS.

Note that there are no such restrictions on models built in other environments. Thus, for example, you could create multiple environments, and then have a single foreground program launch multiple simultaneous asynchronous optimizations, each in its own environment.

As already noted, you are allowed to query the value of the Status attribute while an asynchronous optimization is in progress. The other attributes that can be queried are: ObjVal, ObjBound, IterCount, NodeCount, and BarIterCount. In each case, the returned value reflects progress in the optimization to that point. Any attempt to query the value of an attribute not on this list will return an OPTIMIZATION_IN_PROGRESS error.

String optimizeBatch()#

Submit a new batch request to the Cluster Manager. Returns the BatchID (a string), which uniquely identifies the job in the Cluster Manager and can be used to query the status of this request (from this program or from any other). Once the request has completed, the BatchID can also be used to retrieve the associated solution. To submit a batch request, you must tag at least one element of the model by setting one of the VTag, CTag or QCTag attributes. For more details on batch optimization, please refer to the Batch Optimization section.

Note that this routine will process all pending model modifications.

Return value:: A unique string identifier for the batch request.

GRBModel presolve()#

Perform presolve on a model.

Return value:: Presolved version of original model.

void read(String filename)#

This method is the general entry point for importing data from a file into a model. It can be used to read basis files for continuous models, start vectors for MIP models, variable hints for MIP models, branching priorities for MIP models, or parameter settings. The type of data read is determined by the file suffix. File formats are described in the File Formats section of the Reference Manual.

Note that this is not the method to use if you want to read a new model from a file. For that, use the GRBModel constructor. One variant of the constructor takes the name of the file that contains the new model as its argument.

Arguments:: filename – Name of the file to read. The suffix on the file must be either .bas (for an LP basis), .mst or .sol (for a MIP start), .hnt (for MIP hints), .ord (for a priority order), .attr (for a collection of attribute settings), or .prm (for a parameter file). The suffix may optionally be followed by .zip, .gz, .bz2, or .7z.

void remove(GRBConstr constr)#

Arguments:: constr – The linear constraint to remove.

void remove(GRBGenConstr genconstr)#

Remove a general constraint from the model. Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the change won’t actually take effect until you update the model (using GRBModel.update), optimize the model (using GRBModel.optimize), or write the model to disk (using GRBModel.write).

Arguments:: genconstr – The general constraint to remove.

void remove(GRBQConstr qconstr)#

Remove a quadratic constraint from the model. Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the change won’t actually take effect until you update the model (using GRBModel.update), optimize the model (using GRBModel.optimize), or write the model to disk (using GRBModel.write).

Arguments:: qconstr – The quadratic constraint to remove.

void remove(GRBSOS sos)#

Remove an SOS constraint from the model. Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the change won’t actually take effect until you update the model (using GRBModel.update), optimize the model (using GRBModel.optimize), or write the model to disk (using GRBModel.write).

Arguments:: sos – The SOS constraint to remove.

void remove(GRBVar var)#

Remove a variable from the model. Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the change won’t actually take effect until you update the model (using GRBModel.update), optimize the model (using GRBModel.optimize), or write the model to disk (using GRBModel.write).

Arguments:: var – The variable to remove.

void reset()#: Reset the model to an unsolved state, discarding any previously computed solution information.

void reset(int clearall)#

Reset the model to an unsolved state, discarding any previously computed solution information.

Arguments:: clearall – A value of 1 discards additional information that affects the solution process but not the actual model (currently MIP starts, variable hints, branching priorities, lazy flags, and partition information). Pass 0 to just discard the solution.

void setCallback(GRBCallback cb)#

Set the callback object for a model. The callback() method on this object will be called periodically from the Gurobi solver. You will have the opportunity to obtain more detailed information about the state of the optimization from this callback. See the documentation for GRBCallback for additional information.

Note that a model can only have a single callback method, so this call will replace an existing callback.

Arguments:: cb – New callback object. To disable a previously set callback, call this method with a null argument.

void set(GRB.DoubleParam param, double newval)#

Set the value of a double-valued parameter.

The difference between setting a parameter on a model and setting it on an environment (i.e., through GRBEnv.set) is that the former modifies the parameter for a single model, while the latter modifies the parameter for every model that is subsequently built using that environment (and leaves the parameter unchanged for models that were previously built using that environment).

void setObjective(GRBExpr expr, int sense)#

Set the model objective equal to a linear expression (for multi-objective optimization, see setObjectiveN).

Note that you can also modify the linear portion of a model objective using the Obj variable attribute. If you wish to mix and match these two approaches, please note that this method replaces the entire existing objective, while the Obj attribute can be used to modify individual linear terms.

Arguments:

expr – New model objective.
sense – New optimization sense (GRB.MINIMIZE for minimization, GRB.MAXIMIZE for maximization).

void setObjective(GRBExpr expr)#

Set the model objective equal to quadratic expression (for multi-objective optimization, see setObjectiveN). The sense of the objective is determined by the value of the ModelSense attribute.

Note that this method replaces the entire existing objective, while the Obj attribute can be used to modify individual linear terms.

Arguments:: expr – New model objective.

void setObjectiveN(GRBLinExpr expr, int index, int priority, double weight, double abstol, double reltol, String name)#

Set an alternative optimization objective equal to a linear expression.

Arguments:

expr – New alternative objective.

priority – Priority for the alternative objective. This initializes the ObjNPriority attribute for this objective.
weight – Weight for the alternative objective. This initializes the ObjNWeight attribute for this objective.
abstol – Absolute tolerance for the alternative objective. This initializes the ObjNAbsTol attribute for this objective.

void setPWLObj(GRBVar var, double[] x, double[] y)#

Set a piecewise-linear objective function for a variable.

The arguments to this method specify a list of points that define a piecewise-linear objective function for a single variable. Specifically, the \(x\) and \(y\) arguments give coordinates for the vertices of the function.

For additional details on piecewise-linear objective functions, refer to this discussion.

Set the piecewise-linear objective function for a variable.

Arguments:

var – The variable whose objective function is being set.
x – The \(x\) values for the points that define the piecewise-linear function. Must be in non-decreasing order.
y – The \(y\) values for the points that define the piecewise-linear function.

GRBModel singleScenarioModel()#

Capture a single scenario from a multi-scenario model. Use the ScenarioNumber parameter to indicate which scenario to capture.

The model on which this method is invoked must be a multi-scenario model, and the result will be a single-scenario model.

Return value:: Model for a single scenario.

void sync()#

Wait for a previous asynchronous optimization call to complete.

Calling optimizeasync returns control to the calling routine immediately. The caller can perform other computations while optimization proceeds, and can check on the progress of the optimization by querying various model attributes. The sync call forces the calling program to wait until the asynchronous optimization call completes. You must call sync before the corresponding model object is deleted.

The sync call throws an exception if the optimization itself ran into any problems. In other words, exceptions thrown by this method are those that optimize itself would have thrown, had the original method not been asynchronous.

Note that you need to call sync even if you know that the asynchronous optimization has already completed.

void terminate()#

Generate a request to terminate the current optimization. This method can be called at any time during an optimization (from a callback, from another thread, from an interrupt handler, etc.). Note that, in general, the request won’t be acted upon immediately.

When the optimization stops, the Status attribute will be equal to GRB_INTERRUPTED.

void tune()#

Perform an automated search for parameter settings that improve performance. Upon completion, this method stores the best parameter sets it found. The number of stored parameter sets can be determined by querying the value of the TuneResultCount attribute. The actual settings can be retrieved using getTuneResult.

Please refer to the Parameter Tuning section in the Reference Manual for details on the tuning tool.

void update()#: Process any pending model modifications.

void write(String filename)#

This method is the general entry point for writing optimization data to a file. It can be used to write optimization models, solutions vectors, basis vectors, start vectors, or parameter settings. The type of data written is determined by the file suffix. File formats are described in the File Format section.

Note that writing a model to a file will process all pending model modifications. This is also true when writing other model information such as solutions, bases, etc.

Note also that when you write a Gurobi parameter file (PRM), both integer or double parameters not at their default value will be saved, but no string parameter will be saved into the file.

Arguments:: filename – The name of the file to be written. The file type is encoded in the file name suffix. Valid suffixes are .mps, .rew, .lp, or .rlp for writing the model itself, .dua or .dlp for writing the dualized model (only pure LP), .ilp for writing just the IIS associated with an infeasible model (see GRBModel.computeIIS for further information), .sol for writing the solution selected by the SolutionNumber parameter, .mst for writing a start vector, .hnt for writing a hint file, .bas for writing an LP basis, .prm for writing modified parameter settings, .attr for writing model attributes, or .json for writing solution information in JSON format. If your system has compression utilities installed (e.g., 7z or zip for Windows, and gzip, bzip2, or unzip for Linux or macOS), then the files can be compressed, so additional suffixes of .gz, .bz2, or .7z are accepted.
