Java API Reference
The Cardinal Optimizer provides a Java API library. This chapter documents all COPT Java constants and API functions for Java applications.
Constants
There are four types of constants defined in Cardinal Optimizer. They are general constants, information constants, attributes constants and parameters constants.
General Constants
For the contents of Java general constants, see General Constants.
General constants are defined in Consts
class. User may refer general constants
with namespace, that is, copt.Consts.XXXX
.
Attributes
For the contents of Java attribute constants, see Attributes.
All COPT Java attributes are defined in DblAttr
and IntAttr
classes.
User may refer double attributes by Copt.DblAttr.XXXX
, and integer
attributes by Copt.IntAttr.XXXX
.
In the Java API, user can get the attribute value by specifying the attribute name. The two functions of obtaining attribute values are as follows, please refer to Java API: Model Class for details.
Model.getIntAttr()
: Get value of a COPT integer attribute.Model.getDblAttr()
: Get value of a COPT double attribute.
Information
For the contents of Java information constants, see Information.
All COPT Java Information constants are defined in DblInfo
class. User may refer information constants
with namespace, that is, copt.DblInfo.XXXX
.
Parameters
For the contents of Java parameters constants, see Parameters.
All COPT Java parameters are defined in DblParam and IntParam classes. User may refer double parameters by copt.DblParam.XXXX
, and integer parameters by copt.IntParam.XXXX
.
In the Java API, user can get and set the parameter value by specifying the parameter name. The provided functions are as follows, please refer to Java API: Model Class for details.
Get detailed information of the specified parameter (current value/max/min):
Model.getParamInfo()
Get the current value of the specified integer/double parameter:
Model.getIntParam()
/Model.getDblParam()
Set the specified integer/double parameter value:
Model.setIntParam()
/Model.setDblParam()
Java Modeling Classes
This chapter documents COPT Java interface. Users may refer to Java classes described below for details of how to construct and solve Java models.
Envr
Essentially, any Java application using Cardinal Optimizer should start with a COPT environment. COPT models are always associated with a COPT environment. User must create an environment object before populating models. User generally only need a single environment object in program.
EnvrConfig
If user connects to COPT remote services, such as floating token server or compute cluster, it is necessary to add config settings with EnvrConfig object.
Model
In general, a COPT model consists of a set of variables, a (linear) objective function on these variables, a set of constraints on there varaibles, etc. COPT model class encapsulates all required methods for constructing a COPT model.
