lp-solvers
Library implementing interaction with various linear programming solvers.
It uses the .lp file format to interact with external solver binaries.
Supported solvers
- gurobi
- cplex (with the
cplex feature)
- cbc
- glpk
- auto: automatically finds which of the above solver is installed at runtime, and uses it.
You need to have the solver you want to use installed on your machine already for this library to work.
Example
```rust
use lpsolvers::lpformat::{Constraint, LpObjective};
use lpsolvers::problem::{Problem, StrExpression, Variable};
use lpsolvers::solvers::{CbcSolver, SolverTrait};
use lp_solvers::solvers::Status::Optimal;
fn solveintegerproblemwithsolver(solver: S) {
let pb = Problem { // Alternatively, you can implement the LpProblem trait on your own structure
name: "intproblem".tostring(),
sense: LpObjective::Maximize,
objective: StrExpression("x - y".tostring()), // You can use other expression representations
variables: vec![
Variable {
name: "x".tostring(),
isinteger: true,
lowerbound: -10.,
upperbound: -1.,
},
Variable {
name: "y".tostring(),
isinteger: true,
lowerbound: 4.,
upperbound: 7.,
},
],
constraints: vec![Constraint {
lhs: StrExpression("x - y".tostring()),
operator: Ordering::Less,
rhs: -4.5,
}],
};
let solution = solver.run(&pb).expect("Failed to run solver");
assert_eq!(solution.status, Optimal);
// solution.results is now {"x":-1, "y":4}
}
fn main() {
solveintegerproblemwithsolver(CbcSolver::default())
}
```
