GLPK.jl

Build Status codecov

GLPK.jl is a wrapper for the GNU Linear Programming Kit library.

The wrapper has two components:

The C API can be accessed via GLPK.glp_XXX functions, where the names and arguments are identical to the C API. See the /tests folder for inspiration.

Installation

Install GLPK using Pkg.add:

import Pkg; Pkg.add("GLPK")

In addition to installing the GLPK.jl package, this will also download and install the GLPK binaries. (You do not need to install GLPK separately.)

Use with JuMP

To use GLPK with JuMP, use GLPK.Optimizer:

using JuMP, GLPK
model = Model(GLPK.Optimizer)
set_optimizer_attribute(model, "tm_lim", 60 * 1_000)
set_optimizer_attribute(model, "msg_lev", GLPK.GLP_MSG_OFF)

If the model is primal or dual infeasible, GLPK will attempt to find a certificate of infeasibility. This can be expensive, particularly if you do not intend to use the certificate. If this is the case, use:

model = Model() do
    return GLPK.Optimizer(want_infeasibility_certificates = false)
end

Callbacks

Here is an example using GLPK's solver-specific callbacks.

using JuMP, GLPK, Test

model = Model(GLPK.Optimizer)
@variable(model, 0 <= x <= 2.5, Int)
@variable(model, 0 <= y <= 2.5, Int)
@objective(model, Max, y)
reasons = UInt8[]
function my_callback_function(cb_data)
    reason = GLPK.glp_ios_reason(cb_data.tree)
    push!(reasons, reason)
    if reason != GLPK.GLP_IROWGEN
        return
    end
    x_val = callback_value(cb_data, x)
    y_val = callback_value(cb_data, y)
    if y_val - x_val > 1 + 1e-6
        con = @build_constraint(y - x <= 1)
        MOI.submit(model, MOI.LazyConstraint(cb_data), con)
    elseif y_val + x_val > 3 + 1e-6
        con = @build_constraint(y - x <= 1)
        MOI.submit(model, MOI.LazyConstraint(cb_data), con)
    end
end
MOI.set(model, GLPK.CallbackFunction(), my_callback_function)
optimize!(model)
@test termination_status(model) == MOI.OPTIMAL
@test primal_status(model) == MOI.FEASIBLE_POINT
@test value(x) == 1
@test value(y) == 2
@show reasons
