public class COptQuestIntegerMatrixVariable
extends COptQuestManifoldVariable

An integer matrix variable: an m by n matrix of integer variables. The elements are ordinary input variables.

Variable names: <name>@<row>,<col> for each element, with 1-based row and column numbers, row by row. Each name contains a comma, so write it in brackets in an expression: [<name>@1,2].

Each element takes the values min, min + 1, min + 2, and so on, up to max. Give whole-number bounds to get whole-number values.

In most programs, you add this variable with OptQuestModel.AddIntegerMatrixVariable and read its values with OptQuestSolution.GetValue(String) and the generated names. Construct this class only when you add the variable with COptQuestOptimization.AddVariable(COptQuestVariable).

Constructor Details

COptQuestIntegerMatrixVariable

public COptQuestIntegerMatrixVariable(String name,
 int m,
 int n,
 double min,
 double max)
                               throws COptQuestException

Creates an integer matrix variable.

Parameters:

name - base name of the variable

m - number of rows; must be at least 1

n - number of columns; must be at least 1

min - lower bound of each element

max - upper bound of each element

Throws:

COptQuestException - if m or n is less than 1

Method Details

getProjectedInputVariables

public List<COptQuestUserControlledVariable> getProjectedInputVariables()

Returns an empty list, because the values of an integer matrix variable are ordinary inputs.

The values are in the list that getInputVariables() returns. That list has one variable <name>@<row>,<col> for each element.

Returns:

an empty list

getOutputVariables

public List<COptQuestUserControlledVariable> getOutputVariables()

Returns an empty list, because an integer matrix variable has no output variables.

The values of an integer matrix variable are ordinary inputs, so they are in the list that getInputVariables() returns. That list has one variable <name>@<row>,<col> for each element.

Returns:

an empty list

getInputVariables

public List<COptQuestVariable> getInputVariables()

Description copied from class: COptQuestManifoldVariable

Returns the ordinary decision variables of this manifold variable.

The engine chooses these values directly. Your evaluator reads them as inputs. The item selection and budgeted selection types use this list, and so do the vector, matrix and N-dimensional types of continuous, integer, discrete and binary variables. For every other type, the list is empty.

Specified by:

getInputVariables in class COptQuestManifoldVariable

Returns:

fixed-size or immutable list of input variables; never null
