hasRefactorizationThreshold

boolean hasRefactorizationThreshold()

 We estimate the factorization accuracy of B during each pivot by using
 the fact that we can compute the pivot coefficient in two ways:
 - From direction[leaving_row].
 - From update_row[entering_column].
 If the two values have a relative difference above this threshold, we
 trigger a refactorization.

optional double refactorization_threshold = 6 [default = 1e-09];

Returns:: Whether the refactorizationThreshold field is set.

 trigger a refactorization.

optional double refactorization_threshold = 6 [default = 1e-09];

hasRecomputeReducedCostsThreshold

boolean hasRecomputeReducedCostsThreshold()

 We estimate the accuracy of the iteratively computed reduced costs. If
 it falls below this threshold, we reinitialize them from scratch. Note
 that such an operation is pretty fast, so we can use a low threshold.
 It is important to have a good accuracy here (better than the
 dual_feasibility_tolerance below) to be sure of the sign of such a cost.

optional double recompute_reduced_costs_threshold = 8 [default = 1e-08];

hasRecomputeEdgesNormThreshold

boolean hasRecomputeEdgesNormThreshold()

 Note that the threshold is a relative error on the actual norm (not the

 this doesn't impact directly the solution but just the entering variable
 choice.

 This tolerance indicates by how much we allow the variable values to go out
 of bounds and still consider the current solution primal-feasible. We also
 use the same tolerance for the error A.x - b. Note that the two errors are
 closely related if A is scaled in such a way that the greatest coefficient
 magnitude on each column is 1.0.

 This is also simply called feasibility tolerance in other solvers.

Returns:: Whether the primalFeasibilityTolerance field is set.

 tolerance are not considered as entering candidates. That is they do not
 take part in deciding whether a solution is dual-feasible or not.

 Note that this value can temporarily increase during the execution of the
 algorithm if the estimated precision of the reduced costs is higher than
 this tolerance. Note also that we scale the costs (in the presolve step) so
 that the cost magnitude range contains one.

 This is also known as the optimality tolerance in other solvers.

optional double dual_feasibility_tolerance = 11 [default = 1e-08];

Returns:: Whether the dualFeasibilityTolerance field is set.

boolean hasRatioTestZeroThreshold()

 During the primal simplex (resp. dual simplex), the coefficients of the
 direction (resp. update row) with a magnitude lower than this threshold are
 not considered during the ratio test. This tolerance is related to the
 precision at which a Solve() involving the basis matrix can be performed.

 TODO(user): Automatically increase it when we detect that the precision
 of the Solve() is worse than this.

optional double ratio_test_zero_threshold = 12 [default = 1e-09];

Returns:: The ratioTestZeroThreshold.

hasHarrisToleranceRatio

boolean hasHarrisToleranceRatio()

 This impacts the ratio test and indicates by how much we allow a basic
 variable value that we move to go out of bounds. The value should be in
 [0.0, 1.0) and should be interpreted as a ratio of the
 primal_feasibility_tolerance. Setting this to 0.0 basically disables the
 Harris ratio test while setting this too close to 1.0 will make it
 difficult to keep the variable values inside their bounds modulo the
 primal_feasibility_tolerance.

 Note that the same comment applies to the dual simplex ratio test. There,
 we allow the reduced costs to be of an infeasible sign by as much as this
 ratio times the dual_feasibility_tolerance.

optional double harris_tolerance_ratio = 13 [default = 0.5];

Returns:: Whether the harrisToleranceRatio field is set.

 they are the less precise and may cause numerical instabilities. For a
 pivot under this threshold times the infinity norm of the direction, we try

hasDegenerateMinistepFactor

boolean hasDegenerateMinistepFactor()

 During a degenerate iteration, the more conservative approach is to do a
 step of length zero (while shifting the bound of the leaving variable).
 That is, the variable values are unchanged for the primal simplex or the
 reduced cost are unchanged for the dual simplex. However, instead of doing
 a step of length zero, it seems to be better on degenerate problems to do a
 small positive step. This is what is recommended in the EXPAND procedure
 described in:
 P. E. Gill, W. Murray, M. A. Saunders, and M. H. Wright. "A practical anti-
 cycling procedure for linearly constrained optimization".
 Mathematical Programming, 45:437\u2013474, 1989.

 Here, during a degenerate iteration we do a small positive step of this
 factor times the primal (resp. dual) tolerance. In the primal simplex, this
 may effectively push variable values (very slightly) further out of their
 bounds (resp. reduced costs for the dual simplex).

 Setting this to zero reverts to the more conservative approach of a zero
 step during degenerate iterations.

hasRandomSeed

boolean hasRandomSeed()

 optimal basis.

 For some problems, the running time may vary a lot depending on small
 change in the solving algorithm. Running the solver with different seeds
 enables to have more robust benchmarks when evaluating new features.

 Also note that the solver is fully deterministic: two runs of the same
 binary, on the same machine, on the exact same data and with the same
 parameters will go through the exact same iterations. If they hit a time
 limit, they might of course yield different results because one will have
 advanced farther than the other.

 relevant files.

optional bool log_search_progress = 61 [default = false];

Returns:: Whether the logSearchProgress field is set.

getLogSearchProgress

```
boolean hasLogToStdout()
```
```
 If true, logs will be displayed to stdout instead of using Google log info.
 
```
optional bool log_to_stdout = 66 [default = true];
Returns:

Whether the logToStdout field is set.

getLogToStdout

boolean getLogToStdout()

 If true, logs will be displayed to stdout instead of using Google log info.

optional bool log_to_stdout = 66 [default = true];

Returns:: The logToStdout.

hasCrossoverBoundSnappingDistance

boolean hasCrossoverBoundSnappingDistance()

 If the starting basis contains FREE variable with bounds, we will move
 any such variable to their closer bounds if the distance is smaller than
 this parameter.

 The starting statuses can contains FREE variables with bounds, if a user
 set it like this externally. Also, any variable with an initial BASIC
 status that was not kept in the initial basis is marked as FREE before this
 step is applied.

 Note that by default a FREE variable is assumed to be zero unless a
 starting value was specified via SetStartingVariableValuesForNextSolve().

 Note that, at the end of the solve, some of these FREE variable with bounds
 and an interior point value might still be left in the final solution.
 Enable push_to_vertex to clean these up.

optional double crossover_bound_snapping_distance = 64 [default = inf];

Returns:: Whether the crossoverBoundSnappingDistance field is set.

hasPushToVertex

boolean hasPushToVertex()

 If the optimization phases finishes with super-basic variables (i.e.,
 variables that either 1) have bounds but are FREE in the basis, or 2) have
 no bounds and are FREE in the basis at a nonzero value), then run a "push"
 phase to push these variables to bounds, obtaining a vertex solution. Note
 this situation can happen only if a starting value was specified via
 SetStartingVariableValuesForNextSolve().

optional bool push_to_vertex = 65 [default = true];

Returns:: Whether the pushToVertex field is set.

getPushToVertex

boolean getPushToVertex()

```
```
 If presolve runs, include the pass that detects implied free variables.
 
```
optional bool use_implied_free_preprocessor = 67 [default = true];
Returns:

Whether the useImpliedFreePreprocessor field is set.

getUseImpliedFreePreprocessor
```
boolean getUseImpliedFreePreprocessor()
```
```

```
optional bool use_implied_free_preprocessor = 67 [default = true];
Returns:

The useImpliedFreePreprocessor.

hasMaxValidMagnitude

boolean hasMaxValidMagnitude()

 Any finite values in the input LP must be below this threshold, otherwise
 the model will be reported invalid. This is needed to avoid floating point
 overflow when evaluating bounds * coeff for instance. In practice, users
 shouldn't use super large values in an LP. With the default threshold, even
 evaluating large constraint with variables at their bound shouldn't cause
 any overflow.

optional double max_valid_magnitude = 199 [default = 1e+30];

Returns:: Whether the maxValidMagnitude field is set.

getMaxValidMagnitude

double getMaxValidMagnitude()
