class pyomo.solvers.plugins.solvers.gurobi_persistent.GurobiPersistent(**kwds)[source]

Bases: PersistentSolver, GurobiDirect

A class that provides a persistent interface to Gurobi. Direct solver interfaces do not use any file io. Rather, they interface directly with the python bindings for the specific solver. Persistent solver interfaces are similar except that they “remember” their model. Thus, persistent solver interfaces allow incremental changes to the solver model (e.g., the gurobi python model or the cplex python model). Note that users are responsible for notifying the persistent solver interfaces when changes are made to the corresponding pyomo model.

Keyword Arguments:
 
  • model (ConcreteModel) – Passing a model to the constructor is equivalent to calling the set_instance mehtod.
  • type (str) – String indicating the class type of the solver instance.
  • name (str) – String representing either the class type of the solver instance or an assigned name.
  • doc (str) – Documentation for the solver
  • options (dict) – Dictionary of solver options

The function to call. The function should have three arguments. The first will be the pyomo model being solved. The second will be the GurobiPersistent instance. The third will be an enum member of gurobipy.GRB.Callback. This will indicate where in the branch and bound algorithm gurobi is at. For example, suppose we want to solve

\begin{array}{ll} \min & 2x + y \\ \mathrm{s.t.} & y \geq (x-2)^2 \\ & 0 \leq x \leq 4 \\ & y \geq 0 \\ & y \in \mathbb{Z} \end{array}

as an MILP using exteneded cutting planes in callbacks.

from gurobipy import GRB
import pyomo.environ as pe
from pyomo.core.expr.taylor_series import taylor_series_expansion

m = pe.ConcreteModel()
m.x = pe.Var(bounds=(0, 4))
m.y = pe.Var(within=pe.Integers, bounds=(0, None))
m.obj = pe.Objective(expr=2*m.x + m.y)
m.cons = pe.ConstraintList()  # for the cutting planes

def _add_cut(xval):
    # a function to generate the cut
    m.x.value = xval
    return m.cons.add(m.y >= taylor_series_expansion((m.x - 2)**2))

_add_cut(0)  # start with 2 cuts at the bounds of x
_add_cut(4)  # this is an arbitrary choice

opt = pe.SolverFactory('gurobi_persistent')
opt.set_instance(m)
opt.set_gurobi_param('PreCrush', 1)
opt.set_gurobi_param('LazyConstraints', 1)

def my_callback(cb_m, cb_opt, cb_where):
    if cb_where == GRB.Callback.MIPSOL:
        cb_opt.cbGetSolution(vars=[m.x, m.y])
        if m.y.value < (m.x.value - 2)**2 - 1e-6:
            cb_opt.cbLazy(_add_cut(m.x.value))

opt.set_callback(my_callback)
opt.solve()
>>> assert abs(m.x.value - 1) <= 1e-6

set_gurobi_param(param, val)[source]

Set a gurobi parameter.

Parameters:
  • param (str) – The gurobi parameter to set. Options include any gurobi parameter. Please see the Gurobi documentation for options.
  • val (any) – The value to set the parameter to. See Gurobi documentation for possible values.
set_instance(model, **kwds)

This method is used to translate the Pyomo model provided to an instance of the solver’s Python model. This discards any existing model and starts from scratch.

Parameters:

model (ConcreteModel) – The pyomo model to be used with the solver.

Keyword Arguments:
 
  • symbolic_solver_labels (bool) – If True, the solver’s components (e.g., variables, constraints) will be given names that correspond to the Pyomo component names.
  • skip_trivial_constraints (bool) – If True, then any constraints with a constant body will not be added to the solver model. Be careful with this. If a trivial constraint is skipped then that constraint cannot be removed from a persistent solver (an error will be raised if a user tries to remove a non-existent constraint).
  • output_fixed_variable_bounds (bool) – If False then an error will be raised if a fixed variable is used in one of the solver constraints. This is useful for catching bugs. Ordinarily a fixed variable should appear as a constant value in the solver constraints. If True, then the error will not be raised.
set_linear_constraint_attr(con, attr, val)[source]

Set the value of an attribute on a gurobi linear constraint.

Parameters:
  • con (pyomo.core.base.constraint._GeneralConstraintData) – The pyomo constraint for which the corresponding gurobi constraint attribute should be modified.

    The attribute to be modified. Options are:

    CBasis DStart Lazy
  • val (any) – See gurobi documentation for acceptable values.
set_objective(obj)

Parameters:obj (Objective) –
set_problem_format(format)

Set the current problem format (if it’s valid) and update the results format to something valid for this problem format.

set_results_format(format)

Set the current results format (if it’s valid for the current problem format).

set_var_attr(var, attr, val)[source]

Set the value of an attribute on a gurobi variable.

Parameters:

Keyword Arguments:
 
  • suffixes (list of str) – The strings should represnt suffixes support by the solver. Examples include ‘dual’, ‘slack’, and ‘rc’.
