Constructor Detail

SimplexSolver

public SimplexSolver()

Builds a simplex solver with default settings.

SimplexSolver

public SimplexSolver(double epsilon,
             int maxUlps)

Builds a simplex solver with a specified accepted amount of error.

Parameters:

epsilon - Amount of error to accept for algorithm convergence.

maxUlps - Amount of error to accept in floating point comparisons.

Method Detail

doIteration

protected void doIteration(org.apache.commons.math3.optim.linear.SimplexTableau tableau)
                    throws TooManyIterationsException,
                           UnboundedSolutionException

Runs one iteration of the Simplex method on the given model.

Parameters:

tableau - Simple tableau for the problem.

Throws:

TooManyIterationsException - if the allowed number of iterations has been exhausted.

UnboundedSolutionException - if the model is found not to have a bounded solution.

solvePhase1

protected void solvePhase1(org.apache.commons.math3.optim.linear.SimplexTableau tableau)
                    throws TooManyIterationsException,

                           NoFeasibleSolutionException

Solves Phase 1 of the Simplex method.

Parameters:

tableau - Simple tableau for the problem.

Throws:

TooManyIterationsException - if the allowed number of iterations has been exhausted.

UnboundedSolutionException - if the model is found not to have a bounded solution.

NoFeasibleSolutionException - if there is no feasible solution?

doOptimize

public PointValuePair doOptimize()
                          throws TooManyIterationsException,
