VariableInstance

public class VariableInstance extends BasicInstance<VariableInstanceBase>

A decision variable instance. Each member of this class belongs to a single Variable. Note that accessors available here are replicated at Variable level for ease of use when dealing with scalar variables.

All AMPL suffixes for an algebraic variable are available through methods with the same name in this class. See http://www.ampl.com/NEW/suffbuiltin.html for a list of the available suffixes.

All the accessors in this class throw a IllegalArgumentException if the instance has been deleted in the underlying AMPL interpreter.

Constructors

VariableInstance

VariableInstance(VariableInstanceBase impl)

Methods

astatus

public String astatus()

Get the AMPL status (fixed, presolved, or substituted out)

defeqn

public int defeqn()

Get the index in _con of “defining constraint” used to substitute variable out

dual

public double dual()

Get the dual value on defining constraint of variable substituted out

fix

public void fix()

Fix all instances of this variable to their current value, equivalent to:

fix varname;

fix

public void fix(double value)

(for scalar variables) fix the variable to the specified value, equivalent to:

fix varname := value;

impl

VariableInstanceBase impl()

init

public double init()

Get the current initial guess

init0

public double init0()

Get the original initial guess (set by := or default or by a data statement)

lb

public double lb()

Returns the current lower bound. See Note on variables suffixes.

lb0

public double lb0()

Returns the initial lower bounds, from the var declaration

lb1

public double lb1()

Returns the weaker lower bound from AMPL’s presolve phase

lb2

public double lb2()

Returns the stronger lower bound from AMPL’s presolve phase

lrc

public double lrc()

Returns the reduced cost at lower bound

lslack

public double lslack()

Return the slack at lower bound (val - lb). See Note on variables suffixes.

rc

public double rc()

Get the reduced cost (at the nearer bound)

setValue

public void setValue(double value)

Set the current value of this variable instance

Parameters
  • value – Value to be set

slack

public double slack()

Returns the bound slack which is the lesser of lslack and uslack. See Note on variables suffixes.

sstatus

public String sstatus()

Solver status (basis status of variable)

status

public String status()

AMPL status if not in, otherwise solver status

ub

public double ub()

Returns the current upper bound. See Note on variables suffixes.

ub0

public double ub0()

Returns the initial upper bound, from the var declaration

ub1

public double ub1()

Returns the weaker upper bound from AMPL’s presolve phase

ub2

public double ub2()

Returns the stronger upper bound from AMPL’s presolve phase

unfix

public void unfix()

Unfix all instances of the current variable, equivalent to the AMPL code:

unfix varname;

urc

public double urc()

Returns the reduced cost at upper bound

uslack

public double uslack()

Return the slack at upper bound (ub - val). See Note on variables suffixes.

value

public double value()

Get the current value of this variable instance
