Apologies if this is not the correct list for this question.
The Rglpk package offers the following example in its documentation
library(Rglpk)
## Simple mixed integer linear program.
## maximize: 3 x_1 + 1 x_2 + 3 x_3
## subject to: -1 x_1 + 2 x_2 + x_3 <= 4
## 4 x_2 - 3 x_3 <= 2
## x_1 - 3 x_2 + 2 x_3 <= 3
## x_1, x_3 are non-negative integers
## x_2 is a non-negative real number
obj <- c(3, 1, 3)
mat <- matrix(c(-1, 0, 1, 2, 4, -3, 1, -3, 2), nrow = 3)
dir <- c("<=", "<=", "<=")
rhs <- c(4, 2, 3)
types <- c("I", "C", "I")
max <- TRUE
Rglpk_solve_LP(obj, mat, dir, rhs, types, max)
## Same as before but with bounds replaced by
## -Inf < x_1 <= 4
## 0 <= x_2 <= 100
## 2 <= x_3 < Inf
bounds <- list(lower = list(ind = c(1L, 3L), val = c(-Inf, 2)),
upper = list(ind = c(1L, 2L), val = c(4, 100)))
Rglpk_solve_LP(obj, mat, dir, rhs, types, max, bounds)
I have 2 questions
1. What is the purpose of the L in the bounds statement (e.g. 1L, 3L
etc)?
2. Is it possible to further constrain a variable such that in the
optimal solution to the objective function it will be a specific integer
or an integer multiple of that integer. For example, x_3 must be 2 or
4,6,8,10 etc
