LP の問題を解決する

以下のセクションでは、LP 問題の例と解決方法について説明します。問題は次のとおりです。

次の制約に従って 3x + 4y を最大化します。

  1. x + 2y: 14 以下
  2. 3x - y: 0 以上
  3. x - y～ 2

目的関数 3x + 4y と制約の両方が一次式によって与えられるため、これは線形問題になります。

制約によって実現可能領域（内部を含む以下の三角形）が定義されます。

LP に関する問題を解決するための基本的な手順

LP の問題を解決するため、プログラムに次のステップを含める必要があります。

  1. 線形ソルバーのラッパーをインポートします。
  2. LP ソルバーを宣言して、
  3. 変数を定義し、
  4. 制約を定義し、
  5. 目標を定義し
  6. LP ソルバーを呼び出す
  7. 解答を表示する

MPSolver を使用した解答

次のセクションでは、MPSolver ラッパーと LP ソルバーを使用して問題を解決するプログラムを示します。

注:以下のプログラムを実行するには、OR-Tools をインストールする必要があります。

OR-Tools の主要な線形最適化ソルバーは、Google の社内線形プログラミング ソルバーである Glop です。高速、メモリ効率、数値安定です。

線形ソルバーのラッパーをインポートする

以下に示すように、OR-Tools の線形ソルバー（MIP ソルバーと線形ソルバーのインターフェース）をインポートまたは追加します。

PythonC++JavaC#
from ortools.linear_solver import pywraplp
 
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>

#include "ortools/linear_solver/linear_solver.h"
 
import com.google.ortools.Loader;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPConstraint;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPObjective;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPSolver;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPVariable;
 
using System;
using Google.OrTools.LinearSolver;

LP ソルバーを宣言する

MPsolver は、Glop を含むさまざまなソルバーのラッパーです。以下のコードは GLOP ソルバーを宣言しています。

PythonC++JavaC#
solver = pywraplp.Solver.CreateSolver("GLOP")
if not solver:
    return
 
std::unique_ptr<MPSolver> solver(MPSolver::CreateSolver("SCIP"));
if (!solver) {
  LOG(WARNING) << "SCIP solver unavailable.";
  return;
}
 
MPSolver solver = MPSolver.createSolver("GLOP");
 
Solver solver = Solver.CreateSolver("GLOP");
if (solver is null)
{
    return;
}

注: GLOP を PDLP に置き換えて、別の LP ソルバーを使用します。ソルバーの選択の詳細については、高度な LP ソルバーをご覧ください。サードパーティのソルバーのインストールについては、インストール ガイドをご覧ください。

変数を作成する

まず、値が 0 ～無限大の変数 x と y を作成します。xx

PythonC++JavaC#
x = solver.NumVar(0, solver.infinity(), "x")
y = solver.NumVar(0, solver.infinity(), "y")

print("Number of variables =", solver.NumVariables())
 
const double infinity = solver->infinity();
// x and y are non-negative variables.
MPVariable* const x = solver->MakeNumVar(0.0, infinity, "x");
MPVariable* const y = solver->MakeNumVar(0.0, infinity, "y");
LOG(INFO) << "Number of variables = " << solver->NumVariables();
 
double infinity = java.lang.Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
// x and y are continuous non-negative variables.
MPVariable x = solver.makeNumVar(0.0, infinity, "x");
MPVariable y = solver.makeNumVar(0.0, infinity, "y");
System.out.println("Number of variables = " + solver.numVariables());
 
Variable x = solver.MakeNumVar(0.0, double.PositiveInfinity, "x");
Variable y = solver.MakeNumVar(0.0, double.PositiveInfinity, "y");

Console.WriteLine("Number of variables = " + solver.NumVariables());

制約を定義する

次に、変数に制約を定義します。各制約に一意の名前（constraint0 など）を付けて、制約の係数を定義します。

PythonC++JavaC#
# Constraint 0: x + 2y <= 14.
solver.Add(x + 2 * y <= 14.0)

# Constraint 1: 3x - y >= 0.
solver.Add(3 * x - y >= 0.0)

# Constraint 2: x - y <= 2.
solver.Add(x - y <= 2.0)

print("Number of constraints =", solver.NumConstraints())
 
// x + 2*y <= 14.
MPConstraint* const c0 = solver->MakeRowConstraint(-infinity, 14.0);
c0->SetCoefficient(x, 1);
c0->SetCoefficient(y, 2);

// 3*x - y >= 0.
MPConstraint* const c1 = solver->MakeRowConstraint(0.0, infinity);
c1->SetCoefficient(x, 3);
c1->SetCoefficient(y, -1);

// x - y <= 2.
MPConstraint* const c2 = solver->MakeRowConstraint(-infinity, 2.0);
c2->SetCoefficient(x, 1);
c2->SetCoefficient(y, -1);
LOG(INFO) << "Number of constraints = " << solver->NumConstraints();
 
// x + 2*y <= 14.
MPConstraint c0 = solver.makeConstraint(-infinity, 14.0, "c0");
c0.setCoefficient(x, 1);
c0.setCoefficient(y, 2);

// 3*x - y >= 0.
MPConstraint c1 = solver.makeConstraint(0.0, infinity, "c1");
c1.setCoefficient(x, 3);
c1.setCoefficient(y, -1);

// x - y <= 2.
MPConstraint c2 = solver.makeConstraint(-infinity, 2.0, "c2");
c2.setCoefficient(x, 1);
c2.setCoefficient(y, -1);
System.out.println("Number of constraints = " + solver.numConstraints());
 
// x + 2y <= 14.
solver.Add(x + 2 * y <= 14.0);

// 3x - y >= 0.
solver.Add(3 * x - y >= 0.0);

// x - y <= 2.
solver.Add(x - y <= 2.0);

Console.WriteLine("Number of constraints = " + solver.NumConstraints());

目的関数を定義する

次のコードでは、目的関数 3x + 4y を定義し、これが最大化問題であることを指定しています。

PythonC++JavaC#
# Objective function: 3x + 4y.
solver.Maximize(3 * x + 4 * y)
 
// Objective function: 3x + 4y.
MPObjective* const objective = solver->MutableObjective();
objective->SetCoefficient(x, 3);
objective->SetCoefficient(y, 4);
objective->SetMaximization();
 
// Maximize 3 * x + 4 * y.
MPObjective objective = solver.objective();
objective.setCoefficient(x, 3);
objective.setCoefficient(y, 4);
objective.setMaximization();
 
// Objective function: 3x + 4y.
solver.Maximize(3 * x + 4 * y);

ソルバーを呼び出す

次のコードはソルバーを呼び出します。

PythonC++JavaC#
print(f"Solving with {solver.SolverVersion()}")
status = solver.Solve()
 
const MPSolver::ResultStatus result_status = solver->Solve();
// Check that the problem has an optimal solution.
if (result_status != MPSolver::OPTIMAL) {
  LOG(FATAL) << "The problem does not have an optimal solution!";
}
 
final MPSolver.ResultStatus resultStatus = solver.solve();
 
Solver.ResultStatus resultStatus = solver.Solve();

PythonC++JavaC#
if status == pywraplp.Solver.OPTIMAL:
    print("Solution:")
    print(f"Objective value = {solver.Objective().Value():0.1f}")
    print(f"x = {x.solution_value():0.1f}")
    print(f"y = {y.solution_value():0.1f}")
else:
    print("The problem does not have an optimal solution.")
 
LOG(INFO) << "Solution:";
LOG(INFO) << "Optimal objective value = " << objective->Value();
LOG(INFO) << x->name() << " = " << x->solution_value();
LOG(INFO) << y->name() << " = " << y->solution_value();
 
if (resultStatus == MPSolver.ResultStatus.OPTIMAL) {
  System.out.println("Solution:");
  System.out.println("Objective value = " + objective.value());
  System.out.println("x = " + x.solutionValue());
  System.out.println("y = " + y.solutionValue());
} else {
  System.err.println("The problem does not have an optimal solution!");
}
 
// Check that the problem has an optimal solution.
if (resultStatus != Solver.ResultStatus.OPTIMAL)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The problem does not have an optimal solution!");
    return;
}
Console.WriteLine("Solution:");
Console.WriteLine("Objective value = " + solver.Objective().Value());
Console.WriteLine("x = " + x.SolutionValue());
Console.WriteLine("y = " + y.SolutionValue());

最適なソリューション

以下に示すように、プログラムは問題の最適な解を返します。

Number of variables = 2
Number of constraints = 3
Solution:
x = 6.0
y = 4.0
Optimal objective value = 34.0

このグラフは、この解答を示しています。

緑色の破線は目的関数を最適値の 34 に設定することで定義されます。方程式が 3x + 4y = c という形式の線は破線と平行です。34 は、線が実行可能領域を交差する c の最大値です。
