Definition

An object of class Quadratic_program describes a convex quadratic program of the form

\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.

This class allows you to build your program entry by entry, using the set-methods below.

If you only need to wrap existing (random-access) iterators over your own data, then you may use any of the four models Quadratic_program_from_iterators<A_it, B_it, R_it, FL_it, L_it, FU_it, U_it, D_it, C_it>, Linear_program_from_iterators<A_it, B_it, R_it, FL_it, L_it, FU_it, U_it, C_it>, Nonnegative_quadratic_program_from_iterators<A_it, B_it, R_it, D_it, C_it>, and Nonnegative_linear_program_from_iterators<A_it, B_it, R_it, C_it>.

If you want to read a quadratic program in MPSFormat from a stream, please use the model Quadratic_program_from_mps<NT>.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Quadratic_program()

template<typename NT >

CGAL::Quadratic_program< NT >::Quadratic_program	(	CGAL::Comparison_result	default_r = CGAL::EQUAL,
		bool	default_fl = true,
		const NT &	default_l = 0,
		bool	default_fu = false,
		const NT &	default_u = 0
	)

constructs a quadratic program with no variables and no constraints, ready for data to be added.

Unless relations are explicitly set, they will be of type default_r. Unless bounds are explicitly set, they will be as specified by default_fl (finite lower bound?), default_l (lower bound value if lower bound is finite), default_fu (finite upper bound?), and default_l (upper bound value if upper bound is finite). If all parameters take their default values, we thus get equality constraints and bounds \( x\geq0\) by default. Numerical entries that are not explicitly set will default to \( 0\).

Precondition

if default_fl == default_fu == true, then default_l <= default_u.

	)

sets the entry \( A_{ij}\) in column \( j\) and row \( i\) of the constraint matrix \( A\) of qp to val.

An existing entry is overwritten. qp is enlarged if necessary to accommodate this entry.

void CGAL::Quadratic_program< NT >::set_b	(	int	i,
		const NT &	val
	)

sets the entry \( b_i\) of qp to val.

An existing entry is overwritten. qp is enlarged if necessary to accommodate this entry.

template<typename NT >

void CGAL::Quadratic_program< NT >::set_c	(	int	j,
		const NT &	val
	)

set_l()

template<typename NT >

void CGAL::Quadratic_program< NT >::set_l	(	int	j,
		bool	is_finite,
		const NT &	val = NT(0)
	)

if is_finite, this sets the entry \( l_j\) of qp to val, otherwise it sets \( l_j\) to \( -\infty\).

CGAL::SMALLER means that the \( i\)-th constraint is of type "\f$ \leq\f$", CGAL::EQUAL means "\f$ =\f$", and CGAL::LARGER encodes "\f$ \geq\f$". An existing entry is overwritten. qp is enlarged if necessary to accommodate this entry.

		bool	is_finite,
		const NT &	val = NT(0)
	)

if is_finite, this sets the entry \( u_j\) of qp to val, otherwise it sets \( u_j\) to \( \infty\).
