Definition

A model of NonnegativeLinearProgram describes a linear program of the form.

\begin{eqnarray*} \mbox{(QP)}& \mbox{minimize} &\qpc^{T}\qpx+c_0 \\ &\mbox{subject to} & A\qpx\qprel \qpb, \\ & & \qpx \geq 0 \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 \( \{\leq, =, \geq\}\),
\( \qpc\) is an \( n\)-dimensional vector (the linear objective function), and
\( c_0\) is a constant.

The description is given by appropriate random-access iterators over the program data, see below. The program therefore comes in dense representation which includes zero entries.

The value types of all iterator types (nested iterator types, respectively, for A_iterator) must be convertible to some common IntegralDomain ET.

◆ A_iterator

typedef unspecified_type NonnegativeLinearProgram::A_iterator

A random access iterator type to go columnwise over the constraint matrix \( A\).

The value type is a random access iterator type for an individual column that goes over the entries in that column.

◆ R_iterator

typedef unspecified_type NonnegativeLinearProgram::R_iterator

A random access iterator type to go over the relations \( \qprel\).

The value type of R_iterator is CGAL::Comparison_result.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_a()

A_iterator NonnegativeLinearProgram::get_a ( ) const

returns an iterator over the columns of \( A\).

The corresponding past-the-end iterator is get_a()+get_n(). For \( j=0,\ldots,n-1\), *(get_a()+j) a random access iterator for column \( j\).

◆ get_b()

B_iterator NonnegativeLinearProgram::get_b ( ) const

returns an iterator over the entries of \( \qpb\).

The corresponding past-the-end iterator is get_b()+get_m().

The corresponding past-the-end iterator is get_c()+get_n().

◆ get_r()

R_iterator NonnegativeLinearProgram::get_r ( ) const

returns an iterator over the entries of \( \qprel\).

The corresponding past-the-end iterator is get_r()+get_m(). The value CGAL::SMALLER stands for \( \leq\), CGAL::EQUAL stands for \( =\), and CGAL::LARGER stands for \( \geq\).
