5.5.5. MIQP Modeling and Optimization in JAVAΒΆ

In this chapter, we will use MindOpt JAVA API to model and solve the problem in Example of Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming.

Include the header file:

25import java.util.*;

Create an optimization model model:

31        MDOModel model = new MDOModel(env); 
32        model.set(MDO.StringAttr.ModelName, "MIQP_01");

Next, we set the optimization sense to minimization via MDOModel.set. Then, we call MDOModel.addVar to add four variables, which define upper bounds, lower bounds, names and types. (for more details on MDOModel.set and MDOModel.addVar , please refer to JAVA API)

36            model.set(MDO.IntAttr.ModelSense, MDO.MINIMIZE);
37
38            // Add variables.
39            MDOVar[] x = new MDOVar[4];
40            x[0] = model.addVar(0.0,         10.0, 0.0, 'I', "x0");
41            x[1] = model.addVar(0.0, MDO.INFINITY, 0.0, 'C', "x1");
42            x[2] = model.addVar(0.0, MDO.INFINITY, 0.0, 'C', "x2");
43            x[3] = model.addVar(0.0, MDO.INFINITY, 0.0, 'C', "x3");

We input the linear constraints into model:

65                { 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 },
66                { 1.0, 0,  -1.0, 6.0 } 
67            };
68
69            MDOLinExpr tempLinExpr1 = new MDOLinExpr();
70            tempLinExpr1.addTerms(consV[0], x);
71            model.addConstr(tempLinExpr1, MDO.GREATER_EQUAL, 1.0, "c0");
72
73            MDOLinExpr tempLinExpr2 = new MDOLinExpr();
74            tempLinExpr2.addTerms(consV[1], x);
75            model.addConstr(tempLinExpr2, MDO.EQUAL, 1.0, "c1");    
76    

Then, we create a quadratic expression MDOQuadExpr and call MDOQuadExpr.addTerms to set the linear part of the objective function. Here obj_idx represents the indices of the linear terms, obj_val represents the corresponding non-zero coefficient values in obj_idx.

47            // Add objective linear term: 1 x0 + 1 x1 + 1 x2 + 1 x3 
48            int      obj_nnz = 4;
49            MDOVar[] obj_idx = new MDOVar[] { x[0], x[1], x[2], x[3] };
50            double[] obj_val = new double[] { 1.0,  1.0,  1.0,  1.0 };
51            obj.addTerms(obj_val, obj_idx);

We call MDOQuadExpr.addTerms to set the quadratic terms of the objective. Here, qo_values represents the coefficients of all the non-zero quadratic terms, while qo_col1 and qo_col2 respectively represent its row and column indices.

56            MDOVar[] qo_col1   = new MDOVar[] { x[0], x[1], x[2], x[3], x[0] };
57            MDOVar[] qo_col2   = new MDOVar[] { x[0], x[1], x[2], x[3], x[1] };
58            double[] qo_values = new double[] { 0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5 };
59            obj.addTerms(qo_values, qo_col1, qo_col2);

Lastly, we call MDOModel.setObjective to set the objective and the direction to be optimized.

62

Once the model is constructed, we call MDOModel.optimize to solve the problem:
