set_obj_bound

# set_obj_bound Set initial "at least better than" guess for objective function. void set_obj_bound(lprec *lp, REAL obj_bound); Return Value set_obj_bound has no return value. Parameters lp Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, copy_lp, read_lp, read_LP, read_mps, read_freemps, read_MPS, read_freeMPS, read_XLI obj_bound The initial "at least better than" guess for objective function. Remarks The set_obj_bound function specifies the initial "at least better than" guess for objective function. This is only used in the branch-and-bound algorithm when integer variables exist in the model. All solutions with a worse objective value than this value are immediately rejected. This can result in faster solving times, but it can be difficult to predict what value to take for this bound. Also there is the chance that the found solution is not the most optimal one. The default is infinite. Example
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include "lp_lib.h"

    int main(void)
    {
      lprec *lp;

      /* Create a new LP model */
      lp = make_lp(0, 0);
      if(lp == NULL) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create new LP model\n");
        return(1);
      }

      set_obj_bound(lp, 1000);

      delete_lp(lp);
      return(0);
    }
