problem.chgbounds


Purpose
Changes the bounds on columns in the problem.
Synopsis
problem.chgbounds (mindex, qbtype, bnd)
Arguments
mindex 
Array containing the indices of the columns on which the bounds will change.
qbtype 
Character array indicating the type of bound to change:
indicates a change in the upper bound;
indicates a change in the lower bound;
indicates a change in both bounds, i.e. the column is fixed.
bnd 
Array giving the new bound values.
Example
The following changes the lower bound of variable v1 to 2, upper bound of variable v2 to 5, and fixes variable v3 to 3:
p.chgbounds ([v1,v2,v3],['L','U','B'],[2,5,3])
Further information
1. A column may appear twice in the mindex array so it is possible to change both the upper and lower bounds on a variable in one go.
2. chgbounds may be applied to the problem in a presolved state, in which case it expects references to the presolved problem.
3. The double constant xpress.infinity can be used to represent plus and minus infinity in the bound ( bnd) array.
4. If the upper bound on a binary variable is changed to be greater than 1 or the lower bound is changed to be less than 0 then the variable will become an integer variable.
