JuMP GLPK method solver

shce · October 1, 2021, 2:37pm

Hello,

I am trying to solve a linear problem using GLPK. I have already found a solution but I would like to know which method is being used by GLPK to solve the LP problem.

My call is:

model = Model(GLPK.Optimizer)
# Set variables and constraints
JuMP.optimize!(model)

Does JuMP tell GLPK to solve the problem using Simplex method by default? Does GLPK decide which method it will use?

Thanks in advance,

It uses the simplex method by default:

Thank you very much! So if I would like to use another method, I would have to specify it manually, right?

Yes

how do you specify it?

Hello nico,

As far as I know, there are only three possible methods: GLPK.jl/MOI_wrapper.jl at dee196eabbc87da2a3bfcf210e3ebe17b302a178 · jump-dev/GLPK.jl · GitHub

I haven’t used them myself but I guess you can specify them as:

model = GLPK.Optimizer(method = GLPK.XXX)

See the following function:

github.com

jump-dev/GLPK.jl/blob/dee196eabbc87da2a3bfcf210e3ebe17b302a178/test/MOI_wrapper.jl#L142


      
          
          
function test_infeasible_bounds()
              model = GLPK.Optimizer()
              x = MOI.add_variable(model)
              MOI.add_constraint(model, x, MOI.Interval(1.0, -1.0))
              MOI.optimize!(model)
              @test MOI.get(model, MOI.TerminationStatus()) == MOI.INVALID_MODEL
              return
          end
          
          
function test_RawOptimizerAttribute()
              model = GLPK.Optimizer(method = GLPK.SIMPLEX)
              exception = ErrorException(
                  "Invalid option: cb_func. Use the MOI attribute `GLPK.CallbackFunction` instead.",
              )
              @test_throws exception MOI.set(
                  model,
                  MOI.RawOptimizerAttribute("cb_func"),
                  (cb) -> nothing,
              )
              MOI.set(model, MOI.RawOptimizerAttribute("tm_lim"), 100)

Regards,

shce

Thanks a lot!
