set_break_at_first

Specifies if the branch-and-bound algorithm stops at first found solution.

void set_break_at_first(lprec *lp, unsigned char break_at_first);

Return Value

set_break_at_first has no return value.

Parameters

lp

Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, copy_lp, read_lp, read_LP, read_mps, read_freemps, read_MPS, read_freeMPS, read_XLI

break_at_first

TRUE or FALSE. Stop branch-and-bound algorithm at first found solution or not.

Remarks

The set_break_at_first function specifies if the branch-and-bound algorithm stops at the first found solution or not. Stopping at the first found solution can be useful if you are only interested for a solution, but not necessarily (and most probably) the most optimal solution.
The default is not (FALSE) stop at first found solution.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lp_lib.h"

int main(void)
{
  lprec *lp;

  /* Create a new LP model */
  lp = make_lp(0, 0);
  if(lp == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create new LP model\n");
    return(1);
  }

  set_break_at_first(lp, TRUE);

  delete_lp(lp);
  return(0);
}
