CPXXaddrows and CPXaddrows

The routine CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows adds constraints to a specified CPLEX problem object.

int  CPXXaddrows( CPXCENVptr env, CPXLPptr lp, CPXDIM ccnt, CPXDIM rcnt, CPXNNZ nzcnt, double const * rhs, char const * sense, CPXNNZ const * rmatbeg, CPXDIM const * rmatind, double const * rmatval, char const *const * colname, char const *const * rowname )

int  CPXaddrows( CPXCENVptr env, CPXLPptr lp, int ccnt, int rcnt, int nzcnt, double const * rhs, char const * sense, int const * rmatbeg, int const * rmatind, double const * rmatval, char ** colname, char ** rowname )

Description

The routine CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows adds constraints to a specified CPLEX problem object. This routine may be called any time after a call to CPXXcreateprob/CPXcreateprob.

When you add a ranged row, CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows sets the corresponding range value to 0 (zero). Use the routine CPXXchgrngval/CPXchgrngval to change the range value.

Table 1. Values of sense
sense[i] = 'L' <= constraint
sense[i] = 'E' = constraint
sense[i] = 'G' >= constraint
sense[i] = 'R' ranged constraint

When you build or modify your problem with this routine, you can verify that the results are as you intended by calling CPXcheckaddrows during application development.

Important:

The use of CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows as a way to add new columns is discouraged in favor of a direct call to CPXXnewcols/CPXnewcols before calling CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows.

CPLEX treats a righthand side (rhs) of CPX_INFBOUND as infinite.

Arguments

env
A pointer to the CPLEX environment as returned by CPXXopenCPLEX/CPXopenCPLEX.
lp
A pointer to a CPLEX problem object as returned by CPXXcreateprob/CPXcreateprob.
ccnt
An integer that specifies the number of new columns in the constraints being added to the constraint matrix. When new columns are added, they are given an objective coefficient of zero, a lower bound of zero, and an upper bound of CPX_INFBOUND.
rcnt
An integer that specifies the number of new rows to be added to the constraint matrix.
nzcnt
An integer that specifies the number of nonzero constraint coefficients to be added to the constraint matrix. This specifies the length of the arrays rmatind and rmatval.
rhs
An array of length rcnt containing the righthand side term for each constraint to be added to the CPLEX problem object. May be NULL, in which case the new righthand side values are set to 0.0 (zero).
sense
An array of length rcnt containing the sense of each constraint to be added to the CPLEX problem object. May be NULL, in which case the new constraints are created as equality constraints. Possible values of this argument appear in the table.
rmatbeg
An array used with rmatind and rmatval to define the rows to be added.
rmatind
An array used with rmatbeg and rmatval to define the rows to be added.
rmatval
An array used with rmatbeg and rmatind to define the rows to be added. The format is similar to the format used to describe the constraint matrix in the routine CPXXcopylp/CPXcopylp (see description of matbeg, matcnt, matind, and matval in that routine), but the nonzero coefficients are grouped by row instead of column in the array rmatval. The nonzero elements of every row must be stored in sequential locations in this array from position rmatbeg[i] to rmatbeg[i+1]-1 (or from rmatbeg[i] to nzcnt-1 if i=rcnt-1). Each entry, rmatind[i], specifies the column index of the corresponding coefficient, rmatval[i]. UnlikeCPXcopylp, all rows must be contiguous, and rmatbeg[0] must be 0 (zero).
colname
An array of length ccnt containing pointers to character strings that represent the names of the new columns added to the CPLEX problem object, or equivalently, the new variable names. May be NULL, in which case the new columns are assigned default names if the columns already resident in the CPLEX problem object have names; otherwise, no names are associated with the variables. If column names are passed to CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows but existing variables have no names assigned, default names are created for them.
rowname
An array containing pointers to character strings that represent the names of the new rows, or equivalently, the constraint names. May be NULL, in which case the new rows are assigned default names if the rows already resident in the CPLEX problem object have names; otherwise, no names are associated with the constraints. If row names are passed to CPXXaddrows/CPXaddrows but existing constraints have no names assigned, default names are created for them.

Return

The routine returns 0 (zero) if successful and nonzero if an error occurs.

Example


status = CPXaddrows (env, lp, ccnt, rcnt, nzcnt, rhs,
	      sense, rmatbeg, rmatind, rmatval,
	      newcolname, newrowname);
