addCriterion

public void addCriterion(IVecInt literals)

admitABetterSolution

public boolean admitABetterSolution()
                             throws TimeoutException

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Look for a solution of the optimization problem.

Specified by:

admitABetterSolution in interface IOptimizationProblem

Returns:

true if a better solution than current one can be found.

Throws:

TimeoutException - if the solver cannot answer in reasonable time.

See Also:

ISolver.setTimeout(int)

admitABetterSolution

public boolean admitABetterSolution(IVecInt assumps)
                             throws TimeoutException

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Look for a solution of the optimization problem when some literals are satisfied.

Specified by:

admitABetterSolution in interface IOptimizationProblem

Parameters:

assumps - a set of literals in Dimacs format.

Returns:

true if a better solution than current one can be found.

Throws:

TimeoutException - if the solver cannot answer in reasonable time.

See Also:

ISolver.setTimeout(int)

numberOfCriteria

public int numberOfCriteria()

fixCriterionValue

protected void fixCriterionValue()
                          throws ContradictionException

Throws:

ContradictionException

model

public int[] model()

Description copied from interface: IProblem

Provide a model (if any) for a satisfiable formula. That method should be called AFTER isSatisfiable() or isSatisfiable(IVecInt) if the formula is satisfiable. Else an exception UnsupportedOperationException is launched.

Specified by:

model in interface IProblem

Overrides:

model in class SolverDecorator<T extends ISolver>

Returns:

a model of the formula as an array of literals to satisfy.

See Also:

IProblem.isSatisfiable(), IProblem.isSatisfiable(IVecInt)

model

public boolean model(int var)

Description copied from interface: RandomAccessModel

Provide the truth value of a specific variable in the model. That method should be called AFTER isSatisfiable() if the formula is satisfiable. Else an exception UnsupportedOperationException is launched.

Specified by:

model in interface RandomAccessModel

Overrides:

model in class SolverDecorator<T extends ISolver>

Parameters:

var - the variable id in Dimacs format

Returns:

the truth value of that variable in the model

See Also:

#model()

hasNoObjectiveFunction

public boolean hasNoObjectiveFunction()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

If the optimization problem has no objective function, then it is a simple decision problem.

Specified by:

hasNoObjectiveFunction in interface IOptimizationProblem

Returns:

true if the problem is a decision problem, false if the problem is an optimization problem.

nonOptimalMeansSatisfiable

public boolean nonOptimalMeansSatisfiable()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

A suboptimal solution has different meaning depending of the optimization problem considered. For instance, in the case of MAXSAT, a suboptimal solution does not mean that the problem is satisfiable, while in pseudo boolean optimization, it is true.

Specified by:

nonOptimalMeansSatisfiable in interface IOptimizationProblem

Returns:

true if founding a suboptimal solution means that the problem is satisfiable.

calculateObjective

public Number calculateObjective()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Compute the value of the objective function for the current solution. A call to that method only makes sense if hasNoObjectiveFunction()==false. DO NOT CALL THAT METHOD THAT WILL BE CALLED AUTOMATICALLY. USE getObjectiveValue() instead!

Specified by:

calculateObjective in interface IOptimizationProblem

Returns:

the value of the objective function.

See Also:

IOptimizationProblem.getObjectiveValue()

getObjectiveValue

public Number getObjectiveValue()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Read only access to the value of the objective function for the current solution.

Specified by:

getObjectiveValue in interface IOptimizationProblem

Returns:

the value of the objective function for the current solution.

getObjectiveValue

public Number getObjectiveValue(int criterion)

forceObjectiveValueTo

public void forceObjectiveValueTo(Number forcedValue)
                           throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Force the value of the objective function. This is especially useful to iterate over optimal solutions.

Specified by:

forceObjectiveValueTo in interface IOptimizationProblem

Throws:

ContradictionException

discard

public void discard()
             throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Discard the current solution in the optimization problem. THE NAME WAS NOT NICE. STILL AVAILABLE TO AVOID BREAKING THE API. PLEASE USE THE LONGER discardCurrentSolution() instead.

Specified by:

discard in interface IOptimizationProblem

Throws:

ContradictionException - if a trivial inconsistency is detected.

See Also:

IOptimizationProblem.discardCurrentSolution()

discardCurrentSolution

public void discardCurrentSolution()
                            throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Discard the current solution in the optimization problem.

Specified by:

discardCurrentSolution in interface IOptimizationProblem

Throws:

ContradictionException - if a trivial inconsistency is detected.

discardSolutionsForOptimizing

protected IConstr discardSolutionsForOptimizing()
                                         throws ContradictionException

Throws:

ContradictionException

evaluate

protected Number evaluate()

evaluate

protected Number evaluate(int criterion)

isOptimal

public boolean isOptimal()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Allows to check afterwards if the solution provided by the solver is optimal or not.

Specified by:

isOptimal in interface IOptimizationProblem

Returns:

setTimeoutForFindingBetterSolution

public void setTimeoutForFindingBetterSolution(int seconds)

Description copied from interface: IOptimizationProblem

Allow to set a specific timeout when the solver is in optimization mode. The solver internal timeout will be set to that value once it has found a solution. That way, the original timeout of the solver may be reduced if the solver finds quickly a solution, or increased if the solver finds regularly new solutions (thus giving more time to the solver each time).

Specified by:

setTimeoutForFindingBetterSolution in interface IOptimizationProblem
