set_epspivot

# set_epspivot Specifies the value that is used as a tolerance pivot element to determine whether a value should be considered as 0. void set_epspivot(lprec *lp, REAL epspivot); Return Value set_epspivot 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 epspivot The value that is used as a tolerance for the pivot element to determine whether a value should be considered as 0. Remarks The set_epspivot function specifies the value that is used as a tolerance for the pivot element to determine whether a value should be considered as 0. Floating-point calculations always result in loss of precision and rounding errors. Therefore a very small value (example 1e-99) could be the result of such errors and should be considered as 0 for the algorithm. epspivot specifies the tolerance to determine if a pivot element should be considered as 0. If abs(value) is less than this epspivot value it is considered as 0 and at first instance rejected as pivot element. Only when no larger other pivot element can be found and the value is different from 0 it will be used as pivot element. The default epspivot value is 2e-7 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_epspivot(lp, 1.0e-5); /* sets epspivot to 1e-5 */

      delete_lp(lp);
      return(0);
    }
