docplex.mp.dvar module¶
-
class
docplex.mp.dvar.
Var
[source]¶ Bases:
docplex.mp.basic.IndexableObject
,docplex.mp.operand.LinearOperand
,docplex.mp.basic._AbstractBendersAnnotated
,docplex.mp.basic._AbstractValuable
This class models decision variables. Decision variables are instantiated by
docplex.mp.model.Model
methods such asdocplex.mp.model.Model.var()
.-
basis_status
¶ This property returns the basis status of the variable, if any. The variable must be continuous, otherwise an exception is raised.
Returns: An enumerated value from the enumerated type docplex.constants.BasisStatus. Note
for the model to hold basis information, the model must have been solved as a LP problem. In some cases, a model which failed to solve may still have a basis available. Use Model.has_basis() to check whether the model has basis information or not.
-
benders_annotation
¶ This property is used to get or set the Benders annotation of a variable. The value of the annotation must be a positive integer
-
equals
(other)[source]¶ This method is used to test equality to an expression. Because of the overloading of operator == through the redefinition of the __eq__ method, you cannot use == to test for equality. In order to test that two decision variables ar ethe same, use th` Python is operator; use the equals method to test whether a given expression is equivalent to a variable: for example, calling equals with a linear expression which consists of this variable only, with a coefficient of 1, returns True.
Parameters: other – an expression or a variable. Returns: A boolean value, True if the passed variable is this very variable, or if the passed expression is equivalent to the variable, else False.
-
get_key
()[source]¶ Returns the key used to create the variable, or None.
When the variable is part of a list or dictionary of variables created from a sequence of keys, returns the key associated with the variable.
Example
xs = m.continuous_var_dict(keys=[‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]) xa = xs[‘a’] assert xa.get_key() == ‘a’
Returns: a Python object, possibly None.
-
is_binary
()[source]¶ Checks if the variable is binary.
Returns: True if the variable is of type Binary. Return type: Boolean
-
is_continuous
()[source]¶ Checks if the variable is continuous.
Returns: True if the variable is of type Continuous. Return type: Boolean
-
is_discrete
()[source]¶ Checks if the variable is discrete.
Returns: True if the variable is of type Binary or Integer. Return type: Boolean
-
is_integer
()[source]¶ Checks if the variable is integer.
Returns: True if the variable is of type Integer. Return type: Boolean
-
iter_constraints
()[source]¶ Returns an iterator traversing all constraints in which the variable is used.
Returns: An iterator.
-
lb
¶ This property is used to get or set the lower bound of the variable.
Possible values for the lower bound depend on the variable type. Binary variables accept only 0 or 1 as bounds. An integer variable will convert the lower bound value to the ceiling integer value of the argument.
-
name
¶ This property is used to get or set the name of the modeling object.
-
reduced_cost
¶ Returns the reduced cost of the variable.
This method will raise an exception if the model has not been solved as a LP.
- Note:
- For a large number of variables (> 100), using the Model.reduced_costs() method can be much faster.
- Returns:
- The reduced cost of the variable (a float value).
See Also:
-
solution_value
¶ This property returns the solution value of the variable.
Raises: DOCplexException
– if the model has not been solved succesfully.
-
sv
¶ Same as solution_value but shorter
-
to_bool
(precision=1e-06)[source]¶ Converts a variable value to True or False.
Assuming the variable is discrete (integer or binary), returns True if the variable value is set a non-zero integer, taking into account precision. For binary variables, returns TRue if the variable value equals 1, taking into account precision.
Raises: DOCplexException
– if the model has not been solved successfully.DOCplexException
– if the variable is not discrete
Returns: True if the variable value is nonzero, else False.
Return type: Boolean
-
ub
¶ This property is used to get or set the upper bound of the variable.
Possible values for the upper bound depend on the variable type. Binary variables accept only 0 or 1 as bounds. An integer variable will convert the upper bound value to the floor integer value of the argument.
To reset the upper bound to its default infinity value, use
docplex.mp.model.Model.infinity()
.
-
vartype
¶ This property returns the variable type, an instance of
VarType
.
