LSModel Class

class localsolver.LSModel

Mathematical optimization model. A model is composed of expressions (some of which are decisions), organized as a tree. Then, some expressions of the model can be constrained or optimized. Once your optimization model is created and closed, the solver can be launched to resolve it. Note that you cannot modify a model which has been closed: you must reope it (with LSModel.open() ) or instantiate another LocalSolver environment to optimize another model.

This method can be called with a variable number of arguments thanks to the params keyword. The following code is valid as long as all the arguments share the same type (i.e long, double or LSExpression):

// all the arguments (a, b, c, ...) must be of the same data type

Return type

LSExpression CreateLambdaFunction(LSLambdaFunction0 functor)

LSExpression CreateLambdaFunction(LSLambdaFunction2 functor)
LSExpression CreateLambdaFunction(LSLambdaFunction3 functor)
LSExpression CreateLambdaFunction(int nbArgs, LSLambdaFunction functor)

Creates a lambda function with arguments. A lambda function is a particular expression composed of two parts:

  • The arguments of the function (which are also LSExpressions of type Argument).

  • The body of the function. The body is an LSExpression that will be used to evaluate the result of the function. The body can be any LSExpression composed of any operands and operators supported by LocalSolver. Thus, the body expression can use the arguments of the function but can also capture and refer to expressions declared outside of the function.

The functor you provide will not be used directly during the solving process, but will be evaluated once by the API, with a number of LSExpression of type Argument that corresponds to the number of arguments you want and your function expects. At the end of the evaluation of your function, the returned LSExpression will be used as the body of the LocalSolver function.

Since

9.5

Arguments
  • nbArgs – Number of arguments you want for your function. Only useful if you want a function with more than 3 arguments. Otherwise, you can use the dedicated shortcuts LSLambdaFunction0, LSLambdaFunction1, LSLambdaFunction2 and LSLambdaFunction3.

  • function – A function (LSLambdaFunction) that accepts LSExpression as arguments and returns an LSExpression that will be used as the body of the new LocalSolver function you want to create.

Returns

Expression of type LambdaFunction.

LSExpression CreateIntExternalFunction(LSIntExternalFunction function)

Creates an integer external function. The argument must implement LSIntExternalFunction. When the external function is called, the argument values will be made accessible to your function through the LSExternalArgumentValues.

Once you have instantiated it, you have to use LSModel.Call() to call it in your model.

Note 1: Most of the time your external function will be called when the solver is in state Running. Do not attempt to call any method of the solver (to retrieve statistics, values of LSExpressions or whatever) in that state or an exception will be thrown. The only accessible function is LocalSolver.Stop().

Note 2: Your functions must be thread-safe. According to the “nbThreads” parameter, LocalSolver can be multi-threaded. In that case, your external functions must be thread safe. If you cannot guarantee the thread-safety of your code, we strongly recommend you to limit the search of LocalSolver to one thread with LSParam.SetNbThreads.

Note 3: You can provide additional data for your function (such as lower and upper bounds) with the help of the LSExternalContext associated with your function (see LSExpression.GetExternalContext().
