如何用CBC求解器设置PULP-OR的最优性差距?

我想在计算最优解与实际解之间的解时设置最优性差距。

我使用PuLP 1.6.1版,我想将gap的参数传递给求解器。有没有人有关于如何处理这个问题的例子或想法。

可在此处找到的文档:

不是很有帮助。

谢谢。

文档准确地向您展示了如何将选项传递给求解器。也许不是所有的cbcs选项都受支持,但是纸浆的代码显示,您想要的任务由参数fracGap处理。

class COIN_CMD(LpSolver_CMD):
    """The COIN CLP/CBC LP solver
    now only uses cbc
    """

    def defaultPath(self):
        return self.executableExtension(cbc_path)

    def __init__(self, path = None, keepFiles = 0, mip = 1,
            msg = 0, cuts = None, presolve = None, dual = None,
            strong = None, options = [],
            fracGap = None, maxSeconds = None, threads = None)

让我们来看一个纸浆的例子from here

输出

设置MIPGap的代码

#prob.solve(PULP_CBC_CMD())  # old call
prob.solve(PULP_CBC_CMD(fracGap = 0.1))

输出

...
('Total Costs = ', 230300.0)
