5.2.3. MILP Modeling and Optimization in C++ΒΆ
In this section, we will utilize MindOpt C++ API to model and solve the MILP problem in Example of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming.
First of all, include the header files:
27#include "MindoptCpp.h"
Create an optimization model model:
36 MDOEnv env = MDOEnv();
37 MDOModel model = MDOModel(env);
Next, we set the optimization sense to minimization via MDOModel::set() and add four decision variables using MDOModel::addVar() (please refer to Attributes for the detailed usages of model attributes, and C++ API for other CPP API information):
44 /* Change to minimization problem. */
45 model.set(MDO_IntAttr_ModelSense, MDO_MINIMIZE);
46
47 /* Add variables. */
48 std::vector<MDOVar> x;
49 x.push_back(model.addVar(0.0, 10.0, 1.0, MDO_INTEGER, "x0"));
50 x.push_back(model.addVar(0.0, MDO_INFINITY, 2.0, MDO_INTEGER, "x1"));
51 x.push_back(model.addVar(0.0, MDO_INFINITY, 1.0, MDO_INTEGER, "x2"));
52 x.push_back(model.addVar(0.0, MDO_INFINITY, 1.0, MDO_CONTINUOUS, "x3"));
Next, we input the linear constraints into the model model:
54 /* Add constraints. */
55 model.addConstr(1.0 * x[0] + 1.0 * x[1] + 2.0 * x[2] + 3.0 * x[3] >= 1.0, "c0");
56 model.addConstr(1.0 * x[0] - 1.0 * x[2] + 6.0 * x[3] == 1.0, "c1");
Once the model is constructed, we call Model.optimize() to solve the problem:
61 model.optimize();
Lastly, we can retrieve the optimal objective value and solutions by using MDOModel::get() to get attribute ObjVal and X. Please refer to Attributes for more detailed explanation.
62 if(model.get(MDO_IntAttr_Status) == MDO_OPTIMAL)
63 {
64 cout << "Optimal objective value is: " << model.get(MDO_DoubleAttr_ObjVal) << endl;
65 cout << "Decision variables: " << endl;
66 int i = 0;
67 for (auto v : x)
68 {
69 cout << "x[" << i++ << "] = " << v.get(MDO_DoubleAttr_X) << endl;
70 }
71 }
72 else
73 {
74 cout<< "No feasible solution." << endl;
75 }
