public class MinCostDecorator
extends PBSolverDecorator
implements IOptimizationProblem

A decorator that computes minimal cost models. That problem is also known as binate covering problem. Please make sure that newVar(howmany) is called first to setup the decorator.

MinCostDecorator

public MinCostDecorator(IPBSolver solver)

Method Detail

newVar

public int newVar()

Specified by:

newVar in interface ISolver

Overrides:

newVar in class SolverDecorator<IPBSolver>

newVar

public int newVar(int howmany)

Setup the number of variables to use inside the solver. It is mandatory to call that method before setting the cost of the variables.

Specified by:

newVar in interface ISolver

Overrides:

newVar in class SolverDecorator<IPBSolver>

Parameters:

howmany - the maximum number of variables in the solver.

costOf

public int costOf(int var)

to know the cost of a given var.

Parameters:

var - a variable in dimacs format

Returns:

the cost of that variable when assigned to true

setCost

public void setCost(int var,
                    int cost)

to set the cost of a given var.

Parameters:

var - a variable in dimacs format

cost - the cost of var when assigned to true
