RE: [Help-glpk] Multi-ranged column bounds

[Ariel Daliot]

How do I express the following semi-continuous variable x in GLPK:
5 * z <= x <= 10 * z

I cannot just do:
                    glp_set_col_kind(lp, z, GLP_BV);

                    glp_set_col_kind(lp, x, GLP_CV);
                    glp_set_col_bnds(lp, x, GLP_DB, z*5.0, z*10.0);

Thanks,
Ariel

Hi,
you are talking about semi-continuous variables 
(http://lpsolve.sourceforge.net/5.5/semi-cont.htm). They are not modelled in 
GLPK but you can simulate them using the approach explained here:

Hello all,

I am trying to solve a problem using glpk 4.42.
I need the continuously valued columns to upper and lower bounds but also to be 
able to have a single integer value out of this bound.
More specifically, I need all the columns Xi to be bounded by 6=< Xi =<16 but I 
also want Xi=0 to be a possible value for the variables.
This is how I set the range:

                    glp_set_col_kind(lp, Xi, GLP_CV);
                    glp_set_col_bnds(lp, Xi, GLP_DB, 6.0, 16.0);

but how can I add Xi=0 to the allowed range?

Thanks in advance,
Ariel
