Sample log file from the augmented system solver

Shows a typical log file from the augmented system solver.

Consider this model of a nonconvex quadratic program (QP) in LP file format.


Minimize
   OBJ.FUNC: [ 2 x * y ] / 2
Subject To
   R1: x - y < = 1
   R2: x - y > = -1
   R3: x + y < = 1
   R4: x + y > = -1
Bounds
   x free
   y free
End

The objective function of that model includes a quadratic term that is not positive semi-definite. In such a case, CPLEX can apply an augmented system solver in the barrier optimizer.

In particular, if you apply the optimality target parameter with a value of 2, then CPLEX searches for a solution that satisfies first-order optimality conditions, but is not necessarily globally optimal.

Here is an example of a log file from the augmented system solver on that model:
