NAME¶

ppl_lpsol - a PPL-based mixed integer programming problem solver

SYNOPSIS¶

ppl_lpsol [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION¶

Reads a file in MPS format and attempts solution using the optimization algorithms provided by the PPL.

See the GNU Linear Programming Kit: Reference Manual (Version 4.31) for information on the MPS format.

OPTIONS¶

-c, --check[=THRESHOLD] checks the obtained results;

optima are checked with a tolerance of THRESHOLD (default 1e-09)

-i, --incremental

solves the problem incrementally

-m, --min

minimizes the objective function

-M, --max

maximizes the objective function (default)

-n, --no-optimization

checks for satisfiability only

-r, --no-mip

consider integer variables as real variables

-CSECS, --max-cpu=SECS

limits CPU usage to SECS seconds

-RMB, --max-memory=MB

limits memory usage to MB megabytes

-h, --help

prints this help text to stdout

-oPATH, --output=PATH

appends output to PATH

-e, --enumerate

use the (expensive!) enumeration method

-pM, --pricing=M

use pricing method M for simplex (assumes -s); M is an int from 0 to 2, default 0: 0 --> steepest-edge using floating point 1 --> steepest-edge using exact arithmetic 2 --> textbook

-s, --simplex

use the simplex method

-t, --timings

prints timings to stderr

-v, --verbosity=LEVEL

sets verbosity level (from 0 to 4, default 3): 0 --> quiet: no output except for errors and

explicitly required notifications

1 --> solver state only 2 --> state + optimal value 3 --> state + optimal value + optimum location 4 --> lots of output

-V, --version

prints version information to stdout

AVAILABILITY¶

The latest version of the Parma Polyhedra Library and all the documentation is available at http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/ .

NOTES¶

The options -CSECS (--max-cpu=SECS) and -t (--timings) are not available on some platforms.
