PPL_PIPS(1) User Commands PPL_PIPS(1) NAME ppl_pips - a PPL-based parametric integer programming problem solver SYNOPSIS ppl_pips [OPTION]... [FILE] DESCRIPTION Reads the definition of a Parametric Integer Programming problem and displays the lexicographic minimum in terms of the values of the para- meters. OPTIONS -RMB, --max-memory=MB limits memory usage to MB megabytes -h, --help prints this help text to stdout -oPATH, --output=PATH appends output to PATH -P, --polylib reads problem in PolyLib format (default) -p, --piplib reads problem in PipLib format -t, --timings prints timings to stderr -v, --verbose produces lots of output -i, --iterations=N executes the resolution N times (default=1) -V, --version prints version information to stdout -cPATH, --check=PATH checks if the result is equal to what is in PATH Cut generation options: -f, --cut-first uses the first non-integer row (default) -d, --cut-deepest tries to generate the deepest cut -a, --cut-all always generates all possible cuts Pivot row strategy options: -F, --row-first uses the first row with negative parameter (default) -M, --row-max chooses row generating the lexico-maximal pivot column AVAILABILITY The latest version of the Parma Polyhedra Library and all the documen- tation is available at http://bugseng.com/products/ppl/ . NOTES The options -CSECS (--max-cpu=SECS) and -t (--timings) are not avail- able on some platforms. The PolyLib format is as follows: - The first row describes the context matrix (i.e., constraints on the parameters). The first value is the number of rows (which can be zero) and the second value is the number of columns. The number of parameters is the number of columns minus 2. - Starting from the second row, there are the rows of the context matrix, if any. Each row, which represents a constraint of the form c1*p1 + ... + cn*pn + c0 =/>= 0 , contains: the value 0 if the constraint is an equality, 1 if it is an inequality; the co- efficients of the parameters c1, ..., cn ; the constant term c0 . For example, the inequality constraint on two parameters p1 + 2*p2 - 1 >= 0 is encoded by the row 1 1 2 -1 . - The following row contains the parameter number for the so- called big parameter. If no big parameter is used, the value is -1. - The following rows encode the problem inequality matrix. As for the context matrix, the first two values are the dimensions of the matrix. The number of variables is the number of columns in the matrix minus the number of parameters minus 2. Each row, which represents a constraint of the form d1*v1 + ... + dm*vm + c1*p1 + ... + cn*pn + c0 =/>= 0 , contains: the value 0 if the constraint is an equality, 1 if it is an inequality; the coeffi- cients of the variables d1, ..., dm ; the coefficients of the parameters c1, ..., cn ; the constant term c0 . The PipLib format is described in Section 2.2 of PIP/PipLib: A Solver for Parametric Integer Programming Problems (see below).
