    Hi Tarun,

    Can you explain in detail what you mean by "solution and fractional values"?

    Hi Tarun,

    The easiest way to get the relaxed solution is to use model.relax():

    with model.relax() as r:
    r.optimize()
    r.printAttr("X")

    Cheers, 
    David

    Hey Riley, 

     

    By "fractional values and solution", I mean the .X that produced the Obj = 1351975.00 in the first row and the 70 "IntInf" values. I want to see which values are violating integer feasibility. Is it possible to do this? 

     0     0 1351975.00    0   70          - 1351975.00      -     -    1s

     

     

    I am trying to speed up the search by stopping it early even if some values are fractional. However, I don't want to relax all values.

    Hi Tarun,

    This code could serve as the basis for what you want to do

    def cb(model, where):
        if where == gp.GRB.Callback.MIPNODE:
            # Found a new MIP incumbent
            if model.cbGet(gp.GRB.Callback.MIPNODE_STATUS) == gp.GRB.OPTIMAL:
                m._lp_x = model.cbGetNodeRel(model._vars)
        if where == gp.GRB.Callback.MESSAGE:
            if m._lp_x:
                print(m._lp_x)
                
    m = gp.Model()

    # build model

    m._vars = m.getVars()
    m._lp_x = 0

    m.optimize(cb)

    So it is not possible to get the information at each row? Is it possible to see which constraints are producing the "IntInf"?

    Additionally, are there any other parameters and callbacks I should consider to speedup the search based on the above results?

    This is the current combination I am using: 

    Set parameter Heuristics to value 0
    Set parameter Presolve to value 0
    Set parameter Method to value 1
    Set parameter SolutionLimit to value 1

    Hey David, 

     

    Is it possible to get 

    r.printAttr("X")

    in list or array format? I have two matrix variables "x" and "y". I want to get the nonzero values for "x" and "y" in two separate lists.

    Hi Tarun,

    Sorry, I misunderstood what you were wanting to do.  Can you take a look at the updated code in my answer above?
