PStart
| Type: | double |
|---|---|
| Modifiable: | Yes |
The current simplex start vector. If you set PStart values
for every variable in the model and
DStart values for every
constraint, then simplex will use those values to compute a warm start
basis. If you'd like to retract a previously specified start, set any
PStart value to GRB_UNDEFINED.
Note that any model modifications made after setting PStart
(adding variables or constraints, changing coefficients, etc.) will
discard the start. You should only set this attribute after you are
done modifying your model.
Note also that you'll get much better performance if you warm start
your linear program using a simplex basis (using
VBasis and
CBasis). The PStart
attribute should only be used in situations where you don't have a
basis.
If you'd like to provide a feasible starting solution for a MIP model, you should input it using the Start attribute.
Only affects LP models; it will be ignored for QP, QCP, or MIP models.
For examples of how to query or modify attributes, refer to our Attribute Examples.
