set_anti_degen

# set_anti_degen Specifies if special handling must be done to reduce degeneracy/cycling while solving. void set_anti_degen(lprec *lp, int anti_degen); Return Value set_anti_degen 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 anti_degen Can be any combination (OR) of following values:
ANTIDEGEN_NONE (0) | No anti-degeneracy handling
ANTIDEGEN_FIXEDVARS (1) | Check if there are equality slacks in the basis and try to drive them out in order to reduce chance of degeneracy in Phase 1
ANTIDEGEN_COLUMNCHECK (2) |
ANTIDEGEN_STALLING (4) |
ANTIDEGEN_NUMFAILURE (8) |
ANTIDEGEN_LOSTFEAS (16) |
ANTIDEGEN_INFEASIBLE (32) |
ANTIDEGEN_DYNAMIC (64) |
ANTIDEGEN_DURINGBB (128) |
ANTIDEGEN_RHSPERTURB (256) | Perturbation of the working RHS at refactorization
ANTIDEGEN_BOUNDFLIP (512) | Limit bound flips that can sometimes contribute to degeneracy in some models
Remarks The set_anti_degen function specifies if special handling must be done to reduce degeneracy/cycling while solving. Setting this flag can avoid cycling, but can also increase numerical instability. The default is ANTIDEGEN_INFEASIBLE + ANTIDEGEN_STALLING + ANTIDEGEN_FIXEDVARS (37). 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_anti_degen(lp, ANTIDEGEN_FIXEDVARS | ANTIDEGEN_PERTURB);

      delete_lp(lp);
      return(0);
    }
