Model Queries#

While most model related queries are handled through the attribute interface, a few fall outside of that interface. These are described here.

int GRBgetcoeff(GRBmodel *model, int constrind, int varind, double *valP)#

Retrieve a single constraint matrix coefficient.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the coefficient. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the coefficient should be retrieved.

  • constrind – The constraint index for the desired coefficient.

  • varind – The variable index for the desired coefficient.

  • valP – The location in which the requested matrix coefficient should be placed.

Example:
double A12;
error = GRBgetcoeff(model, 1, 2, &A12);
int GRBgetconstrbyname(GRBmodel *model, const char *name, int *constrnumP)#

Retrieves a linear constraint from its name. If multiple linear constraints have the same name, this routine chooses one arbitrarily.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the constraint. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the linear constraint should be retrieved.

  • name – The name of the desired linear constraint.

  • constrnumP – Constraint number for a linear constraint with the indicated name. Returns -1 if no matching name is found.

int GRBgetconstrs(GRBmodel *model, int *numnzP, int *cbeg, int *cind, double *cval, int start, int len)#

Retrieve the non-zeros for a set of linear constraints from the constraint matrix. Typical usage is to call this routine twice. In the first call, you specify the requested set of constraints, with NULL values for cbeg, cind, and cval. The routine returns the number of non-zero values for the specified constraint range in numnzP. That allows you to make certain that cind and cval are of sufficient size to hold the result of the second call.

If your constraint matrix may contain more than 2 billion non-zero values, you should consider using the GRBXgetconstrs variant of this routine.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the constraint coefficients. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the linear constraints should be retrieved.

  • numnzP – The number of non-zero values retrieved.

  • cbeg – Constraint matrix non-zero values are returned in Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format. Each constraint in the constraint matrix is represented as a list of index-value pairs, where each index entry provides the variable index for a non-zero coefficient, and each value entry provides the corresponding non-zero value. Each constraint has an associated cbeg value, indicating the start position of the non-zeros for that constraint in the cind and cval arrays. The non-zeros for constraint i immediately follow those for constraint i-1 in cind and cval. Thus, cbeg[i] indicates both the index of the first non-zero in constraint i and the end of the non-zeros for constraint i-1. For example, consider the case where cbeg[2] = 10 and cbeg[3] = 12. This would indicate that constraint 2 has two non-zero values associated with it. Their variable indices can be found in cind[10] and cind[11], and the numerical values for those non-zeros can be found in cval[10] and cval[11].

  • cind – Variable indices associated with non-zero values. See the description of the cbeg argument for more information.

  • cval – Numerical values associated with constraint matrix non-zeros. See the description of the cbeg argument for more information.

  • start – The index of the first linear constraint to retrieve.

  • len – The number of linear constraints to retrieve.

The three argument arrays provide the corresponding values for each quadratic term. To give an example, to represent \(2 x_0^2 + x_0 x_1 + x_1^2\), you would have *numqnzP=3, qrow[] = {0, 0, 1}, qcol[] = {0, 1, 1}, and qval[] = {2.0, 1.0, 1.0}.

Retrieve the linear and quadratic terms associated with a single quadratic constraint. Typical usage is to call this routine twice. In the first call, you specify the requested quadratic constraint, with NULL values for the array arguments. The routine returns the total number of linear and quadratic terms in the specified quadratic constraint in numlnzP and numqnzP, respectively. That allows you to make certain that lind, lval, qrow, qcol, and qval are of sufficient size to hold the result of the second call.

Return value:

  • qrow – Row indices associated with quadratic terms. A quadratic term is represented using three values: a pair of indices (stored in qrow and qcol), and a coefficient (stored in qval). The associated arguments arrays provide the corresponding values for each quadratic term. To give an example, if the requested quadratic constraint has quadratic terms \(2 x_0^2 + x_0 x_1 + x_1^2\), this routine would return *numqnzP=3, qrow[] = {0, 0, 1}, qcol[] = {0, 1, 1}, and qval[] = {2.0, 1.0, 1.0}.

  • qcol – Column indices associated with quadratic terms. See the description of the qrow argument for more information.

  • qval – Numerical values associated with quadratic terms. See the description of the qrow argument for more information.

int GRBgetqconstrbyname(GRBmodel *model, const char *name, int *constrnumP)#

Retrieves a quadratic constraint from its name. If multiple quadratic constraints have the same name, this routine chooses one arbitrarily.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the quadratic constraint. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the quadratic constraint should be retrieved.

  • name – The name of the desired quadratic constraint.

int GRBgetsos(GRBmodel *model, int *nummembersP, int *sostype, int *beg, int *ind, double *weight, int start, int len)#

Retrieve the members and weights of a set of SOS constraints. Typical usage is to call this routine twice. In the first call, you specify the requested SOS constraints, with NULL values for ind and weight. The routine returns the total number of members for the specified SOS constraints in nummembersP. That allows you to make certain that ind and weight are of sufficient size to hold the result of the second call.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the SOS members. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the SOS constraints should be retrieved.

  • nummembersP – The total number of SOS members retrieved.

  • sostype – The types of the SOS constraints. Possible values are GRB_SOS_TYPE1 or GRB_SOS_TYPE2.

  • beg – SOS constraints are returned in Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format. Each SOS constraint in the model is represented as a list of index-value pairs, where each index entry provides the variable index for an SOS member, and each value entry provides the corresponding SOS constraint weight. Each SOS constraint has an associated beg value, indicating the start position of the members of that constraint in the ind and weight arrays. The members for SOS constraint i immediately follow those for constraint i-1 in ind and weight. Thus, beg[i] indicates both the index of the first member of SOS constraint i and the end of the member list for SOS constraint i-1. For example, consider the case where beg[2] = 10 and beg[3] = 12. This would indicate that SOS constraint 2 has two members. Their variable indices can be found in ind[10] and ind[11], and their SOS weights can be found in weight[10] and weight[11].

  • ind – Variable indices associated with SOS members. See the description of the beg argument for more information.

  • weight – Weights associated with SOS members. See the description of the beg argument for more information.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the variable should be retrieved.

  • name – The name of the desired variable.

  • varnumP – Variable number for a variable with the indicated name. Returns -1 if no matching name is found.

int GRBgetvars(GRBmodel *model, int *numnzP, int *vbeg, int *vind, double *vval, int start, int len)#

Retrieve the non-zeros for a set of variables from the constraint matrix. Typical usage is to call this routine twice. In the first call, you specify the requested set of variables, with NULL values for vbeg, vind, and vval. The routine returns the number of non-zero values for the specified variables in numnzP. That allows you to make certain that vind and vval are of sufficient size to hold the result of the second call.

If your constraint matrix may contain more than 2 billion non-zero values, you should consider using the GRBXgetvars variant of this routine.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the variable coefficients. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the variables should be retrieved.

  • numnzP – The number of non-zero values retrieved.

  • vbeg – Constraint matrix non-zero values are returned in Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) format by this routine. Each column in the constraint matrix is represented as a list of index-value pairs, where each index entry provides the constraint index for a non-zero coefficient, and each value entry provides the corresponding non-zero value. Each variable has an associated vbeg value, indicating the start position of the non-zeros for that constraint in the vind and vval arrays. The non-zeros for variable i immediately follow those for variable i-1 in vind and vval. Thus, vbeg[i] indicates both the index of the first non-zero in variable i and the end of the non-zeros for variable i-1. For example, consider the case where vbeg[2] = 10 and vbeg[3] = 12. This would indicate that variable 2 has two non-zero values associated with it. Their constraint indices can be found in vind[10] and vind[11], and the numerical values for those non-zeros can be found in vval[10] and vval[11].

  • vind – Constraint indices associated with non-zero values. See the description of the vbeg argument for more information.

  • vval – Numerical values associated with constraint matrix non-zeros. See the description of the vbeg argument for more information.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the scenario should be extracted.

  • singlescenarioP – The location in which the pointer to the requested single-scenario model should be placed.

int GRBXgetconstrs(GRBmodel *model, size_t *numnzP, size_t *cbeg, int *cind, double *cval, int start, int len)#

The size_t version of GRBgetconstrs. The two arguments that count non-zero values are of type size_t in this version to support models with more than 2 billion non-zero values.

Retrieve the non-zeros for a set of linear constraints from the constraint matrix. Typical usage is to call this routine twice. In the first call, you specify the requested set of constraints, with NULL values for cbeg, cind, and cval. The routine returns the number of non-zero values for the specified constraint range in numnzP. That allows you to make certain that cind and cval are of sufficient size to hold the result of the second call.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while retrieving the constraint coefficients. Refer to the Error Codes table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

  • model – The model from which the constraints should be retrieved.

  • numnzP – The number of non-zero values retrieved.

  • cbeg – Constraint matrix non-zero values are returned in Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format. Each constraint in the constraint matrix is represented as a list of index-value pairs, where each index entry provides the variable index for a non-zero coefficient, and each value entry provides the corresponding non-zero value. Each constraint has an associated cbeg value, indicating the start position of the non-zeros for that constraint in the cind and cval arrays. The non-zeros for constraint i immediately follow those for constraint i-1 in cind and cval. Thus, cbeg[i] indicates both the index of the first non-zero in constraint i and the end of the non-zeros for constraint i-1. For example, consider the case where cbeg[2] = 10 and cbeg[3] = 12. This would indicate that constraint 2 has two non-zero values associated with it. Their variable indices can be found in cind[10] and cind[11], and the numerical values for those non-zeros can be found in cval[10] and cval[11].

  • cind – Variable indices associated with non-zero values. See the description of the cbeg argument for more information.

  • cval – Numerical values associated with constraint matrix non-zeros. See the description of the cbeg argument for more information.
