Task.analyzesolution
analyzesolution(whichstream,whichsol)

Print information related to the quality of the solution and other solution statistics.

By default this function prints information about the largest infeasibilites in the solution, the primal (and possibly dual) objective value and the solution status.

Following parameters can be used to configure the printed statistics:

  • iparam.ana_sol_basis enables or disables printing of statistics specific to the basis solution (condition number, number of basic variables etc.). Default is on.

  • iparam.ana_sol_print_violated enables or disables listing names of all constraints (both primal and dual) which are violated by the solution. Default is off.

  • dparam.ana_sol_infeas_tol is the tolerance defining when a constraint is considered violated. If a constraint is violated more than this, it will be listed in the summary.

Parameters:

Task.appendacc
appendacc(domidx,afeidxlist,b)

Appends an affine conic constraint to the task. The affine constraint has the form a sequence of affine expressions belongs to a domain.

The domain index is specified with domidx and should refer to a domain previously appended with one of the append...domain functions.

The length of the affine expression list afeidxlist must be equal to the dimension \(n\) of the domain. The elements of afeidxlist are indexes to the store of affine expressions, i.e. the affine expressions appearing in the affine conic constraint are:

\[F_{\mathtt{afeidxlist}[k],:}x + g_{\mathtt{afeidxlist}[k]} \quad \mathrm{for}\ k=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{n}.\]

If an optional vector b of the same length as afeidxlist is specified then the expressions appearing in the affine constraint will instead be taken as:

\[F_{\mathtt{afeidxlist}[k],:}x + g_{\mathtt{afeidxlist}[k]} - b_k \quad \mathrm{for}\ k=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{n}.\]
Parameters:
  • domidx (int) – Domain index. (input)

  • afeidxlist (int[]) – List of affine expression indexes. (input)

  • b (float[]) – The vector of constant terms modifying affine expressions. Optional, can be None if not required. (input)

Task.appendaccs
appendaccs(domidxs,afeidxlist,b)

Appends numaccs affine conic constraint to the task. Each single affine conic constraint should be specified as in Task.appendacc and the input of this function should contain the concatenation of all these descriptions.

In particular, the length of afeidxlist must equal the sum of dimensions of domains indexed in domainsidxs.

Parameters:
  • domidxs (int[]) – Domain indices. (input)

  • afeidxlist (int[]) – List of affine expression indexes. (input)

  • b (float[]) – The vector of constant terms modifying affine expressions. Optional, can be None if not required. (input)

Task.appendaccseq
appendaccseq(domidx,afeidxfirst,b)

Appends an affine conic constraint to the task, as in Task.appendacc. The function assumes the affine expressions forming the constraint are sequential. The affine constraint has the form a sequence of affine expressions belongs to a domain.

The domain index is specified with domidx and should refer to a domain previously appended with one of the append...domain functions.

The number of affine expressions should be equal to the dimension \(n\) of the domain. The affine expressions forming the affine constraint are arranged sequentially in a contiguous block of the affine expression store starting from position afeidxfirst. That is, the affine expressions appearing in the affine conic constraint are:

\[F_{\mathtt{afeidxfirst}+k,:}x + g_{\mathtt{afeidxfirst}+k} \quad \mathrm{for}\ k=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{n}.\]

If an optional vector b of length numafeidx is specified then the expressions appearing in the affine constraint will instead be taken as

\[F_{\mathtt{afeidxfirst}+k,:}x + g_{\mathtt{afeidxfirst}+k} - b_k \quad \mathrm{for}\ k=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{n}.\]
Parameters:
  • domidx (int) – Domain index. (input)

  • afeidxfirst (int) – Index of the first affine expression. (input)

NOTE: This interface to conic optimization is deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Conic problems should be specified using the affine conic constraints interface (ACC), see Sec. 6.2 (From Linear to Conic Optimization) for details.

Appends a new conic constraint to the problem. Hence, add a constraint

\[\hat{x} \in \K\]

to the problem, where \(\K\) is a convex cone. \(\hat{x}\) is a subset of the variables which will be specified by the argument submem. Cone type is specified by ct.

Define

\[\hat{x} = x_{\mathtt{submem}[1]},\ldots,x_{\mathtt{submem}[\mathtt{nummem}]}.\]

Depending on the value of ct this function appends one of the constraints:

  • Quadratic cone (conetype.quad, requires \(\mathtt{nummem}\geq 1\)):

    \[\hat{x}_0 \geq \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{i<\mathtt{nummem}} \hat{x}_i^2}\]
  • Rotated quadratic cone (conetype.rquad, requires \(\mathtt{nummem}\geq 2\)):

    \[2 \hat{x}_0 \hat{x}_1 \geq \sum_{i=2}^{i<\mathtt{nummem}} \hat{x}^2_i, \quad \hat{x}_{0}, \hat{x}_1 \geq 0\]
  • Primal exponential cone (conetype.pexp, requires \(\mathtt{nummem}=3\)):

    \[\hat{x}_0 \geq \hat{x}_1\exp(\hat{x}_2/\hat{x}_1), \quad \hat{x}_0,\hat{x}_1 \geq 0\]
  • Primal power cone (conetype.ppow, requires \(\mathtt{nummem}\geq 2\)):

    \[\hat{x}_0^\alpha \hat{x}_1^{1-\alpha} \geq \sqrt{\sum_{i=2}^{i<\mathtt{nummem}} \hat{x}^2_i}, \quad \hat{x}_{0}, \hat{x}_1 \geq 0\]

    where \(\alpha\) is the cone parameter specified by conepar.

  • Dual exponential cone (conetype.dexp, requires \(\mathtt{nummem}=3\)):

    \[\hat{x}_0 \geq -\hat{x}_2 e^{-1}\exp(\hat{x}_1/\hat{x}_2), \quad \hat{x}_2\leq 0,\hat{x}_0 \geq 0\]
  • Dual power cone (conetype.dpow, requires \(\mathtt{nummem}\geq 2\)):

    \[\left(\frac{\hat{x}_0}{\alpha}\right)^\alpha \left(\frac{\hat{x}_1}{1-\alpha}\right)^{1-\alpha} \geq \sqrt{\sum_{i=2}^{i<\mathtt{nummem}} \hat{x}^2_i}, \quad \hat{x}_{0}, \hat{x}_1 \geq 0\]

    where \(\alpha\) is the cone parameter specified by conepar.

  • Zero cone (conetype.zero):

    \[\hat{x}_i = 0 \ \textrm{for all}\ i\]

Please note that the sets of variables appearing in different conic constraints must be disjoint.

For an explained code example see Sec. 6.3 (Conic Quadratic Optimization), Sec. 6.5 (Conic Exponential Optimization) or Sec. 6.4 (Power Cone Optimization).

Task.appendsparsesymmat
appendsparsesymmat(dim,subi,subj,valij) -> (idx)

MOSEK maintains a storage of symmetric data matrices that is used to build \(\barC\) and \(\barA\). The storage can be thought of as a vector of symmetric matrices denoted \(E\). Hence, \(E_i\) is a symmetric matrix of certain dimension.

This function appends a general sparse symmetric matrix on triplet form to the vector \(E\) of symmetric matrices. The vectors subi, subj, and valij contains the row subscripts, column subscripts and values of each element in the symmetric matrix to be appended. Since the matrix that is appended is symmetric, only the lower triangular part should be specified. Moreover, duplicates are not allowed.

Observe the function reports the index (position) of the appended matrix in \(E\). This index should be used for later references to the appended matrix.

Parameters:
  • dim (int) – Dimension of the symmetric matrix that is appended. (input)

  • subi (int[]) – Row subscript in the triplets. (input)

  • subj (int[]) – Column subscripts in the triplets. (input)

Task.basiscond
basiscond() -> (nrmbasis,nrminvbasis)

If a basic solution is available and it defines a nonsingular basis, then this function computes the 1-norm estimate of the basis matrix and a 1-norm estimate for the inverse of the basis matrix. The 1-norm estimates are computed using the method outlined in [Ste98], pp. 388-391.

By definition the 1-norm condition number of a matrix \(B\) is defined as

\[\kappa_1(B) := \|B\|_1 \|B^{-1}\|_1.\]

Moreover, the larger the condition number is the harder it is to solve linear equation systems involving \(B\). Given estimates for \(\|B\|_1\) and \(\|B^{-1}\|_1\) it is also possible to estimate \(\kappa_1(B)\).

Return:
  • nrmbasis (float) – An estimate for the 1-norm of the basis.

  • nrminvbasis (float) – An estimate for the 1-norm of the inverse of the basis.

Task.getinfeasiblesubproblem
getinfeasiblesubproblem(whichsol) -> (inftask)

Given the solution is a certificate of primal or dual infeasibility then a primal or dual infeasible subproblem is obtained respectively. The subproblem tends to be much smaller than the original problem and hence it is easier to locate the infeasibility inspecting the subproblem than the original problem.

For the procedure to be useful it is important to assign meaningful names to constraints, variables etc. in the original task because those names will be duplicated in the subproblem.

The function is only applicable to linear and conic quadratic optimization problems.

Consider the case of linear programming. The primal problem is given by

\[\begin{split}\begin{array}{lccccl} \mbox{minimize} & & & c^T x+c^f & & \\ \mbox{subject to} & l^c & \leq & A x & \leq & u^c, \\ & l^x & \leq & x & \leq & u^x. \\ \end{array}\end{split}\]

and the corresponding dual problem is

\[\begin{split}\begin{array}{lccl} \mbox{maximize} & (l^c)^T s_l^c - (u^c)^T s_u^c & \\ & + (l^x)^T s_l^x - (u^x)^T s_u^x + c^f & \\ \mbox{subject to} & A^T y + s_l^x - s_u^x & = & c, \\ & -y + s_l^c - s_u^c & = & 0, \\ & s_l^c,s_u^c,s_l^x,s_u^x \geq 0. & & \\ \end{array}\end{split}\]

A conic optimization problem has the same primal variables as in the linear case. Recall that the dual of a conic optimization problem is given by:

\[\begin{split}\begin{array}{lccccc} \mbox{maximize} & (l^c)^T s_l^c - (u^c)^T s_u^c & & \\ & +(l^x)^T s_l^x - (u^x)^T s_u^x + c^f & & \\ \mbox{subject to} & A^T y + s_l^x - s_u^x + s_n^x & = & c, \\ & -y + s_l^c - s_u^c & = & 0, \\ & s_l^c,s_u^c,s_l^x,s_u^x & \geq & 0, \\ & s_n^x \in \K^* & & \\ \end{array}\end{split}\]

The mapping between variables and arguments to the function is as follows:

  • xx : Corresponds to variable \(x\) (also denoted \(x^x\)).

  • xc : Corresponds to \(x^c:=Ax\).

  • y : Corresponds to variable \(y\).

  • slc: Corresponds to variable \(s_l^c\).

  • suc: Corresponds to variable \(s_u^c\).

  • slx: Corresponds to variable \(s_l^x\).

  • sux: Corresponds to variable \(s_u^x\).

  • snx: Corresponds to variable \(s_n^x\).

The meaning of the values returned by this function depend on the solution status returned in the argument solsta. The most important possible values of solsta are:

Task.primalrepair
primalrepair(wlc,wuc,wlx,wux)

The function repairs a primal infeasible optimization problem by adjusting the bounds on the constraints and variables where the adjustment is computed as the minimal weighted sum of relaxations to the bounds on the constraints and variables. Observe the function only repairs the problem but does not solve it. If an optimal solution is required the problem should be optimized after the repair.

The function is applicable to linear and conic problems possibly with integer variables.

Observe that when computing the minimal weighted relaxation the termination tolerance specified by the parameters of the task is employed. For instance the parameter iparam.mio_mode can be used to make MOSEK ignore the integer constraints during the repair which usually leads to a much faster repair. However, the drawback is of course that the repaired problem may not have an integer feasible solution.

Note the function modifies the task in place. If this is not desired, then apply the function to a cloned task.

Parameters:
  • wlc (float[]) – \((w_l^c)_i\) is the weight associated with relaxing the lower bound on constraint \(i\). If the weight is negative, then the lower bound is not relaxed. Moreover, if the argument is None, then all the weights are assumed to be \(1\). (input)

  • wuc (float[]) – \((w_u^c)_i\) is the weight associated with relaxing the upper bound on constraint \(i\). If the weight is negative, then the upper bound is not relaxed. Moreover, if the argument is None, then all the weights are assumed to be \(1\). (input)

  • wlx (float[]) – \((w_l^x)_j\) is the weight associated with relaxing the lower bound on variable \(j\). If the weight is negative, then the lower bound is not relaxed. Moreover, if the argument is None, then all the weights are assumed to be \(1\). (input)

  • wux (float[]) – \((w_l^x)_i\) is the weight associated with relaxing the upper bound on variable \(j\). If the weight is negative, then the upper bound is not relaxed. Moreover, if the argument is None, then all the weights are assumed to be \(1\). (input)

Task.putafebarfentry
putafebarfentry(afeidx,barvaridx,termidx,termweight)

This function sets one entry \(\barF_{ij}\) where \(i=\mathrm{afeidx}\) is the row index in the store of affine expressions and \(j=\mathrm{barvaridx}\) is the index of a symmetric variable. That is, the expression

\[\langle \barF_{ij}, \barX_j\rangle\]

will be added to the \(i\)-th affine expression.

The matrix \(\barF_{ij}\) is specified as a weighted sum of symmetric matrices from the symmetric matrix storage \(E\), so \(\barF_{ij}\) is a symmetric matrix, precisely:

\[\barF_{\mathrm{afeidx},\mathrm{barvaridx}} = \sum_{k} \mathrm{termweight}[k] \cdot E_{\mathrm{termidx}[k]}.\]

By default all elements in \(\barF\) are 0, so only non-zero elements need be added. Setting the same entry again will overwrite the earlier entry.

The symmetric matrices from \(E\) are defined separately using the function Task.appendsparsesymmat.

Parameters:
  • afeidx (int) – Row index of \(\barF\). (input)

  • barvaridx (int) – Semidefinite variable index. (input)

  • termidx (int[]) – Indices in \(E\) of the matrices appearing in the weighted sum for the \(\barF\) entry being specified. (input)

  • termweight (float[]) – termweight[k] is the coefficient of the termidx[k]-th element of \(E\) in the weighted sum the \(\barF\) entry being specified. (input)

                    termidx,
                    termweight)

This function sets a list of entries in \(\barF\). Each entry should be described as in Task.putafebarfentry and all those descriptions should be combined (for example concatenated) in the input to this method. That means the \(k\)-th entry set will have row index afeidx[k], symmetric variable index barvaridx[k] and the description of this term consists of indices in \(E\) and weights appearing in positions

\[\mathrm{ptrterm}[k],\ldots,\mathrm{ptrterm}[k] + (\mathrm{lenterm}[k] - 1)\]

This function inputs one row in \(\barF\). It first clears the row, i.e. sets \(\barF_{\mathrm{afeidx},*}=0\) and then sets the new entries. Each entry should be described as in Task.putafebarfentry and all those descriptions should be combined (for example concatenated) in the input to this method. That means the \(k\)-th entry set will have row index afeidx, symmetric variable index barvaridx[k] and the description of this term consists of indices in \(E\) and weights appearing in positions

Task.putdjc
putdjc(djcidx,
       domidxlist,
       afeidxlist,
       b,
       termsizelist)

Inputs a disjunctive constraint. The constraint has the form

\[T_1\ \mathrm{or}\ T_2\ \mathrm{or}\ \cdots\ \mathrm{or}\ T_{\mathrm{numterms}}\]

For each \(i=1,\ldots\mathrm{numterms}\) the \(i\)-th clause (term) \(T_i\) has the form a sequence of affine expressions belongs to a product of domains, where the number of domains is \(\mathrm{termsizelist}[i]\) and the number of affine expressions is equal to the sum of dimensions of all domains appearing in \(T_i\).

All the domains and all the affine expressions appearing in the above description are arranged sequentially in the lists domidxlist and afeidxlist, respectively. In particular, the length of domidxlist must be equal to the sum of elements of termsizelist, and the length of afeidxlist must be equal to the sum of dimensions of all the domains appearing in domidxlist.

The elements of domidxlist are indexes of domains previously defined with one of the append...domain functions.

The elements of afeidxlist are indexes to the store of affine expressions, i.e. the \(k\)-th affine expression appearing in the disjunctive constraint is going to be

\[F_{\mathrm{afeidxlist}[k],:}x + g_{\mathrm{afeidxlist}[k]}\]

If an optional vector b of the same length as afeidxlist is specified then the \(k\)-th affine expression appearing in the disjunctive constraint will be taken as

\[F_{\mathrm{afeidxlist}[k],:}x + g_{\mathrm{afeidxlist}[k]} - b_k\]
Parameters:
  • djcidx (int) – Index of the disjunctive constraint. (input)

  • domidxlist (int[]) – List of domain indexes. (input)

Task.putmaxnumacc
putmaxnumacc(maxnumacc)

Sets the number of preallocated affine conic constraints in the optimization task. When this number is reached MOSEK will automatically allocate more space. It is never mandatory to call this function, since MOSEK will reallocate any internal structures whenever it is required.

Task.putmaxnumafe

Task.putmaxnumanz
putmaxnumanz(maxnumanz)

Sets the number of preallocated non-zero entries in \(A\).

MOSEK stores only the non-zero elements in the linear coefficient matrix \(A\) and it cannot predict how much storage is required to store \(A\). Using this function it is possible to specify the number of non-zeros to preallocate for storing \(A\).

If the number of non-zeros in the problem is known, it is a good idea to set maxnumanz slightly larger than this number, otherwise a rough estimate can be used. In general, if \(A\) is inputted in many small chunks, setting this value may speed up the data input phase.

It is not mandatory to call this function, since MOSEK will reallocate internal structures whenever it is necessary.

The function call has no effect if both maxnumcon and maxnumvar are zero.

Parameters:

maxnumanz (int) – Number of preallocated non-zeros in \(A\). (input)

Groups:

Environment and task management, Problem data - linear part

Task.putmaxnumbarvar
putmaxnumbarvar(maxnumbarvar)

Sets the number of preallocated symmetric matrix variables in the optimization task. When this number of variables is reached MOSEK will automatically allocate more space for variables.

It is not mandatory to call this function. It only gives a hint about the amount of data to preallocate for efficiency reasons.

Please note that maxnumbarvar must be larger than the current number of symmetric matrix variables in the task.

Parameters:

maxnumbarvar (int) – Number of preallocated symmetric matrix variables. (input)

Groups:

Environment and task management, Problem data - semidefinite

Task.putmaxnumcon
putmaxnumcon(maxnumcon)

Sets the number of preallocated constraints in the optimization task. When this number of constraints is reached MOSEK will automatically allocate more space for constraints.

It is never mandatory to call this function, since MOSEK will reallocate any internal structures whenever it is required.

Task.putmaxnumcone Deprecated
putmaxnumcone(maxnumcone)

NOTE: This interface to conic optimization is deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Conic problems should be specified using the affine conic constraints interface (ACC), see Sec. 6.2 (From Linear to Conic Optimization) for details.

Sets the number of preallocated conic constraints in the optimization task. When this number of conic constraints is reached MOSEK will automatically allocate more space for conic constraints.

It is not mandatory to call this function, since MOSEK will reallocate any internal structures whenever it is required.

Please note that maxnumcon must be larger than the current number of conic constraints in the task.

Groups:

Environment and task management, Problem data - domain

Task.putmaxnumqnz
putmaxnumqnz(maxnumqnz)

Sets the number of preallocated non-zero entries in quadratic terms.

MOSEK stores only the non-zero elements in \(Q\). Therefore, MOSEK cannot predict how much storage is required to store \(Q\). Using this function it is possible to specify the number non-zeros to preallocate for storing \(Q\) (both objective and constraints).

It may be advantageous to reserve more non-zeros for \(Q\) than actually needed since it may improve the internal efficiency of MOSEK, however, it is never worthwhile to specify more than the double of the anticipated number of non-zeros in \(Q\).

It is not mandatory to call this function, since MOSEK will reallocate internal structures whenever it is necessary.

Parameters:

maxnumqnz (int) – Number of non-zero elements preallocated in quadratic coefficient matrices. (input)

Groups:

Environment and task management, Problem data - quadratic part

Task.putmaxnumvar

putoptserverhost(host)

Specify an OptServer URL for remote calls. The URL should contain protocol, host and port in the form http://server:port or https://server:port. If the URL is set using this function, all subsequent calls to any MOSEK function that involves synchronous optimization will be sent to the specified OptServer instead of being executed locally.

Groups:

Parameters

Task.putqcon
putqcon(qcsubk,qcsubi,qcsubj,qcval)

Replace all quadratic entries in the constraints. The list of constraints has the form

\[l_k^c \leq \half \sum_{i=\idxbeg}^{\idxend{\mathtt{numvar}}} \sum_{j=\idxbeg}^{\idxend{\mathtt{numvar}}} q_{ij}^k x_i x_j + \sum_{j=\idxbeg}^{\idxend{\mathtt{numvar}}} a_{kj} x_j \leq u_k^c, ~\ k=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{m}.\]

This function sets all the quadratic terms to zero and then performs the update:

\[q_{\mathtt{qcsubi[t]},\mathtt{qcsubj[t]}}^{\mathtt{qcsubk[t]}} = q_{\mathtt{\mathtt{qcsubj[t]},qcsubi[t]}}^{\mathtt{qcsubk[t]}} = q_{\mathtt{\mathtt{qcsubj[t]},qcsubi[t]}}^{\mathtt{qcsubk[t]}} + \mathtt{qcval[t]},\]

for \(t=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{\mathtt{numqcnz}}\).

Please note that:

  • For large problems it is essential for the efficiency that the function Task.putmaxnumqnz is employed to pre-allocate space.

  • Only the lower triangular parts should be specified because the \(Q\) matrices are symmetric. Specifying entries where \(i < j\) will result in an error.

  • Only non-zero elements should be specified.

  • The order in which the non-zero elements are specified is insignificant.

  • Duplicate elements are added together as shown above. Hence, it is usually not recommended to specify the same entry multiple times.

For a code example see Section Quadratic Optimization

Parameters:
  • qcsubk (int[]) – Constraint subscripts for quadratic coefficients. (input)

  • qcsubi (int[]) – Row subscripts for quadratic constraint matrix. (input)

  • qcsubj (int[]) – Column subscripts for quadratic constraint matrix. (input)

  • qcval (float[]) – Quadratic constraint coefficient values. (input)

Groups:

Task.putqconk
putqconk(k,qcsubi,qcsubj,qcval)

Replaces all the quadratic entries in one constraint. This function performs the same operations as Task.putqcon but only with respect to constraint number k and it does not modify the other constraints. See the description of Task.putqcon for definitions and important remarks.

Parameters:
  • k (int) – The constraint in which the new \(Q\) elements are inserted. (input)

  • qcsubi (int[]) – Row subscripts for quadratic constraint matrix. (input)

  • qcsubj (int[]) – Column subscripts for quadratic constraint matrix. (input)

  • qcval (float[]) – Quadratic constraint coefficient values. (input)

Groups:

Task.putqobj
putqobj(qosubi,qosubj,qoval)

Replace all quadratic terms in the objective. If the objective has the form

\[\half \sum_{i=\idxbeg}^{\idxend{\mathtt{numvar}}} \sum_{j=\idxbeg}^{\idxend{\mathtt{numvar}}} q_{ij}^o x_i x_j + \sum_{j=\idxbeg}^{\idxend{\mathtt{numvar}}} c_{j} x_j + c^f\]

then this function sets all the quadratic terms to zero and then performs the update:

\[q_{\mathtt{qosubi[t]},\mathtt{qosubj[t]}}^{o} = q_{\mathtt{\mathtt{qosubj[t]},qosubi[t]}}^{o} = q_{\mathtt{\mathtt{qosubj[t]},qosubi[t]}}^{o} + \mathtt{qoval[t]},\]

for \(t=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{\mathtt{numqonz}}\).

See the description of Task.putqcon for important remarks and example.

Parameters:
  • qosubi (int[]) – Row subscripts for quadratic objective coefficients. (input)

  • qosubj (int[]) – Column subscripts for quadratic objective coefficients. (input)

Groups:

Problem data - quadratic part, Problem data - objective

Task.putqobjij
putqobjij(i,j,qoij)

Replaces one coefficient in the quadratic term in the objective. The function performs the assignment

\[q_{ij}^o = q_{ji}^o = \mathtt{qoij}.\]

Only the elements in the lower triangular part are accepted. Setting \(q_{ij}\) with \(j>i\) will cause an error.

Please note that replacing all quadratic elements one by one is more computationally expensive than replacing them all at once. Use Task.putqobj instead whenever possible.

Parameters:
  • i (int) – Row index for the coefficient to be replaced. (input)

  • j (int) – Column index for the coefficient to be replaced. (input)

  • qoij (float) – The new value for \(q_{ij}^o\). (input)

Task.solvewithbasis
solvewithbasis(transp,numnz,sub,val) -> (numnzout)

If a basic solution is available, then exactly \(numcon\) basis variables are defined. These \(numcon\) basis variables are denoted the basis. Associated with the basis is a basis matrix denoted \(B\). This function solves either the linear equation system

(15.3)\[B \barX = b\]

or the system

(15.4)\[B^T \barX = b\]

for the unknowns \(\barX\), with \(b\) being a user-defined vector. In order to make sense of the solution \(\barX\) it is important to know the ordering of the variables in the basis because the ordering specifies how \(B\) is constructed. When calling Task.initbasissolve an ordering of the basis variables is obtained, which can be used to deduce how MOSEK has constructed \(B\). Indeed if the \(k\)-th basis variable is variable \(x_j\) it implies that

\[B_{i,k} = A_{i,j}, ~i=\idxbeg,\ldots,\idxend{\mathtt{numcon}}.\]

Otherwise if the \(k\)-th basis variable is variable \(x_j^c\) it implies that

\[\begin{split}B_{i,k} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -1, & i = j, \\ 0 , & i \neq j. \\ \end{array} \right.\end{split}\]

The function Task.initbasissolve must be called before a call to this function. Please note that this function exploits the sparsity in the vector \(b\) to speed up the computations.

Parameters:
  • transp (bool) – If this argument is zero, then (15.3) is solved, if non-zero then (15.4) is solved. (input)

  • numnz (int) – The number of non-zeros in \(b\). (input)

  • sub (int[]) – As input it contains the positions of non-zeros in \(b\). As output it contains the positions of the non-zeros in \(\barX\). It must have room for \(numcon\) elements. (input/output)

  • val (float[]) – As input it is the vector \(b\) as a dense vector (although the positions of non-zeros are specified in sub it is required that \(\mathtt{val}[i] = 0\) when \(b[i] = 0\)). As output val is the vector \(\barX\) as a dense vector. It must have length \(numcon\). (input/output)

Return:

numnzout (int) – The number of non-zeros in \(\barX\).

Task.toconic Deprecated
toconic()

This function tries to reformulate a given Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Optimization problem (QCQO) as a Conic Quadratic Optimization problem (CQO). The first step of the reformulation is to convert the quadratic term of the objective function, if any, into a constraint. Then the following steps are repeated for each quadratic constraint:

  • a conic constraint is added along with a suitable number of auxiliary variables and constraints;

  • the original quadratic constraint is not removed, but all its coefficients are zeroed out.

Note that the reformulation preserves all the original variables.

The conversion is performed in-place, i.e. the task passed as argument is modified on exit. That also means that if the reformulation fails, i.e. the given QCQP is not representable as a CQO, then the task has an undefined state. In some cases, users may want to clone the task to ensure a clean copy is preserved.
