  • File src/master/unconstrained.rs — part of check-in [7b213efa22] at 2016-10-01 07:49:00 on branch trunk — Aggregate primal information. For this, master problems must return the coefficients and the problem trait needs to implement an `aggregate` method. (user: fifr size: 4038)

/**
 * Trait for master problems without box constraints.
 *
 * Implementors of this trait are supposed to solve quadratic
 * optimization problems of the form
 *
 * \\[ \min \left\\{ \hat{f}(d) + \frac{u}{2} \\| d \\|\^2 \colon d \in \mathbb{R}\^n \right\\}. \\]
 *
 * where $\hat{f}$ is a piecewise linear model, i.e.
 *
 * \\[ \hat{f}(d) = \max \\{ \ell_i(d) = c_i + \langle g_i, d \rangle \colon i=1,\dotsc,k \\} = \max \left\\{ \sum_{i=1}\^k \alpha_i \ell_i(d) \colon \alpha \in \Delta \right\\}, \\]
 *
 * where $\Delta := \left\\{ \alpha \in \mathbb{R}\^k \colon \sum_{i=1}\^k
 * \alpha_i = 1 \right\\}$. Note, the unconstrained solver is expected
 * to compute *dual* optimal solutions, i.e. the solver must compute
 * optimal coefficients $\bar{\alpha}$ for the dual problem
 *
 * \\[ \max_{\alpha \in \Delta} \min_{d \in \mathbb{R}\^n} \sum_{i=1}\^k \alpha_i \ell_i(d) + \frac{u}{2} \\| d \\|\^2. \\]
