FPBH: A Feasibility Pump based Heuristic for Multi-objective Mixed Integer Linear Programming

Build Status: Build Status

Documentation:

DOI: DOI

This is a LP based heuristic for computing an approximate nondominated frontier of a Multi-objective Mixed Integer Linear Program. Important characteristics of this heuristic are:

  1. Can solve any (both structured and unstructured) multiobjective mixed integer linear problem. The following problem classes are supported:
    1. Objectives: 2 or more linear objectives
    2. Constraints: 0 or more linear (both inequality and equality) constraints
    3. Variables:
      1. Binary
      2. Integer variables (via reformulation into binary variables)
      3. Continuous + Binary
      4. Continuous + Integer variables (via reformulation into binary variables)
  2. A multiobjective mixed integer linear instance can be provided as a input in 4 ways:
    1. ModoModel - an extension of JuMP Model
    2. LP file format
    3. MPS file format
    4. Matrix Format ( Advanced )
  3. Any linear programming solver supported by MathProgBase.jl can be used. No mixed integer programming solver is required. FPBH.jl automatically installs GLPK and Clp by default. If the user desires to use any other LP solver, it must be separately installed. FPBH.jl has been successfully tested with:
    1. GLPK - v4.61
    2. Clp - v1.16
    3. SCIP - v4.0.0
    4. Gurobi - v7.5
    5. CPLEX - v12.7. If CPLEX is available, we highly recommend using FPBHCPLEX.jl instead.
  4. All parameters are already tuned, only timelimit is required.
  5. Supports parallelization
