Definition

An object of class Quadratic_program_from_mps describes a convex quadratic program of the general form.

\( \newcommand{\qprel}{\gtreqless} \newcommand{\qpx}{\mathbf{x}} \newcommand{\qpl}{\mathbf{l}} \newcommand{\qpu}{\mathbf{u}} \newcommand{\qpc}{\mathbf{c}} \newcommand{\qpb}{\mathbf{b}} \newcommand{\qpy}{\mathbf{y}} \newcommand{\qpw}{\mathbf{w}} \newcommand{\qplambda}{\mathbf{\lambda}} \)

\begin{eqnarray*} \mbox{(QP)}& \mbox{minimize} & \qpx^{T}D\qpx+\qpc^{T}\qpx+c_0 \\ &\mbox{subject to} & A\qpx\qprel \qpb, \\ & & \qpl \leq \qpx \leq \qpu \end{eqnarray*}

in \( n\) real variables \( \qpx=(x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1})\).

Here,

  • \( A\) is an \( m\times n\) matrix (the constraint matrix),
  • \( \qpb\) is an \( m\)-dimensional vector (the right-hand side),
  • \( \qprel\) is an \( m\)-dimensional vector of relations from \( \{\leq, =, \geq\}\),

  • \( \qpl\) is an \( n\)-dimensional vector of lower bounds for \( \qpx\), where \( l_j\in\mathbb{R}\cup\{-\infty\}\) for all \( j\)
  • \( \qpu\) is an \( n\)-dimensional vector of upper bounds for \( \qpx\), where \( u_j\in\mathbb{R}\cup\{\infty\}\) for all \( j\)

  • \( D\) is a symmetric positive-semidefinite \( n\times n\) matrix (the quadratic objective function),

  • \( \qpc\) is an \( n\)-dimensional vector (the linear objective function), and
  • \( c_0\) is a constant.

If \( D=0\), the program is a linear program; if the variable bounds are \( x\geq 0\), we have a nonnegative program.

The program data are read from an input stream in MPSFormat. This is a commonly used format for encoding linear and quadratic programs that is understood by many solvers. All values are expected to be readable into type NT. The constructed program can be further manipulated by using the set-methods below.
