linp {limSolve} | R Documentation |
Solves a linear programming problem,
min(sum {Cost_i.x_i})
subject to
Ex=f
Gx>=h
x_i>=0
(optional)
This function is simply a wrapper around lp
(see note) from package lpSolve, written to be consistent with the
other functions lsei
, and ldei
.
linp(E=NULL, F=NULL, G=NULL, H=NULL, Cost, ispos = TRUE, int.vec=NULL, verbose=TRUE, ...)
E |
numeric matrix containing the coefficients of the equality constraints Ex=F; if the columns of E have a names attribute, they will be used to label the output |
F |
numeric vector containing the right-hand side of the equality constraints |
G |
numeric matrix containing the coefficients of the inequality constraints Gx>=H; if the columns of G have a names attribute, and the columns of E do not, they will be used to label the output |
H |
numeric vector containing the right-hand side of the inequality constraints |
Cost |
numeric vector containing the coefficients of the cost function; if the Cost a names attribute, and neither the columns of E nor G have a name, they will be used to label the output |
ispos |
logical, when TRUE then unknowns must be positive (this is the original linear programming problem) |
int.vec |
|
verbose |
logical to print error messages |
... |
extra arguments passed to R-function lp |
a list containing:
X |
vector containing the solution of the linear programming problem. |
residualNorm |
scalar, the sum of absolute values of residuals of equalities and violated inequalities. Should be very small or zero for a feasible linear programming problem |
solutionNorm |
scalar, the value of the minimised Cost function, i.e. the value of sum {Cost_i.x_i} |
IsError |
logical, TRUE if an error occurred |
type |
the string "linp", such that how the solution was obtained can be traced |
If the requirement of nonnegativity are relaxed, then strictly speaking the problem is not a linear programming problem.
The function lp
may fail and terminate R for very small problems that are repeated frequently...
Also note that sometimes multiple solutions exist for the same problem.
